Reformation of 50,000 Letters examines how language is mediated by programmed code languages under colonialism. The forms were created with a recurrent neural network fed with 50,000 world-written languages to train the computer to remember to write languages other than Roman English over one million times, with intelligence to generate new letterforms. New forms operate as a memorial and preserved artifact of what the computer fails to remember, learn, and know under its bias architecture.
