score for unlanguaging fragments and abstracts the global lingua franca, English, into new cosmologies. Using a Roman Alphabet stencil, Chun unfixes, reimagines, and layers its linguistic and visual structures to propose new semiotic trajectories. The abstract scores consider the nuanced and circular passages of language, meaning, and legibility.


The scores are also activated through performances and collaborations with other artists. Chun invites them to translate the scores according to their own interpretation and form. The first activation was performed by Li(sa) E. Harris and her collaborator Abijan Johnson in May, 2023 in a sonic and choreographic performance; the second activation will be performed by JJJJJJerome Ellis in Sept, 2023.
