Related at a theoretical level to Un conocimiento por el montaje by Georges Didi-Huberman, {vhekpub} proposes to delve into the idea of word spatialization. It aims to generate a reflection around the processes of formation, creation or emergence of words, as well as their compositional specificities.
Starting from the spatial distribution of a series of seven letters, carried out by six people across six different countries - Spain, Portugal, France, Netherlands, England and USA - and assuming the notion of permutation as the core of the project, the idea of listing all the possible arrangements of these seven letters is superimposed on the project's initial intention of composing a (new) single word out of these. A list of 5040 possible words is then obtained applying a permutative calculation [7P7 = 7!] to the set in question.
The reading of the resulting list is executed by a text-to-speech conversion software, to subsequently generate a sound album that mechanically recites the 5040 words.
