About this work

This is a black-and-white page covered in dense, messy rows of typed letters, numbers, and symbols. Some parts look like music notes, others like random marks. At the top, there’s a typed title: *Mecanographic Symphony for Rhythm and Storm*. In the bottom left corner, a handwritten note in Spanish asks, *"¿O no? ¿Qué es lo que buscas?"* ("Or not? What are you looking for?"). The page feels like a mix of code and poetry—structured but also chaotic. The artist used an old copying method called Electrofax, which makes the marks look faded and uneven. Look up The Museum of Modern Art to see more works like this.
