Can technology break the patterns it produces?
Can standardized systems generate difference?
Can cultural agency be reclaimed?
ObliqueAlphabet approaches these questions as both an ontology and a tool.
Inspired by Gilles Deleuze’s Abécédaire and Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies, the project unfolds as an alphabet of short filmed monologues.
Each letter isolates a process through which technological systems shape perception, behavior, and identity. Each film ends with an oblique instruction — a deviation.
Technology produces patterns.
ObliqueAlphabet introduces disruptions.
Use it to produce your own differences.
