Artists: Virag Albert, Barbara Sterk

The exhibition is a photo documentation of a data archaeological event. How does the meaning of a single message change when it emerges in another time and space as the content of another medium? We display typewriter menus collected from restaurants near lake Balaton dating from the last century with the help of LED strip lights. Through this process we restore the formal mistakes, features, ornaments, misspellings and abbreviations of the original text.
