A figure is trapped inside a children's softplay structure.  No door, 
no window - vinyl and foam.    Moving through the story sentence 
by sentence, the user automatically links the text backwards and 
forwards across its body.  These links are generated by a word 
frequency table mapping the occurrence of words read, shaping 
and mirroring the processes occurring in the trapped figure. This 
text contains 308 different words. 


Harwood/Scotoma.org - Waste_Words Their Weight & 
Frequency in London's Minicipial Rubbish
Harwood@scotoma.org

A street waste basket was cleaned at 8:00am on 8th February 
2001 ( the 414th Anniversary of the beheading of Mary Queen of 
Scots) 24  hours later the cleaner collected all the items left. Each 
item was  weighed and photographed. All of the words occurring 
on every item of 
rubbish were then transcribed. From this table of information the 
frequency and weight of words disposed of per day in London has 
been calculated.
