Each of 10 Minneapolis artists' texts were submitted to a unique typographic treatment. Seeking to push the limits of the browser technology available at that time, we constructed an automatic typesetting/pinsetting mechanism. In the spirit of typographic experimentation's of the early avant-garde, the Web site apparatus translates each letter into code which then appears on screen as a 'material' visual image, working toward blurring the distinction between verbal and visual and interfering with standard syntactic activity. To the extent that the site mirrors and was interlinked with the demolition apparatus at Bryant Lake Bowl (each physical pin being linked to one artist's directory of texts), these texts underwent a further breakdown as they were scrambled by the ball striking at BLB and on site.
