Description

A metalinguistic work concerning the language of mathematics. The same digits written in vertical columns and in a horizontal row produce entirely different meanings. The change in the spatial arrangement of digits on the plane transforms an obvious, trivial equation into a large number, whose reading and comprehension require knowledge of the decimal system. The work has been executed in the form of a computer printout.
