Selected by the artist Deniz Gül, the 2753 words displayed on this page form the initial steps of # Words; an online database project operating in parallel to the artist’s Scratch and Surface presentation taking place at SALT Galata, the second in the series of The Sequential program.

# Words is developed with reference to artist’s questions, “What are the words we think with, listen to, or utter in the present day? What is next as we move forward to the new order that shapes our thinking in periods of economic, ecologic, social, and political crisis? Which words do bring us together and form new possible ways of communication?”

Every three minutes, a word on this page is being scanned in over 75.000 online news sources and blogs. Scrutinizing on their evolving use and informative power, the words on the page are listed according to their most recent use in an online source. Feel free to click on a word and check its latest context.

# Words will be running between April 13 and June 13, 2021.

Open for contribution, new words can be submitted to mail.denizgul[at]gmail.com.
