An ongoing experiment with analogue random text generation and the labour of finding the right word… First developed in the

Happiness Forgets is a lecture, an ode and an elegy for our imperfect past, for the people we once were and can never be again, now that we know what we know now. In this piece, we pin down the past, examine it under a microscope, charge it with electricity to see if we can make it dance.

A retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic, “The Little Sea-Maid,” is a grim tale of sacrifice, transformation and how far we are willing to go for love.
