allison parrish taught me about character-level markov text generation as opposed to word-level and i am very grateful for that <3

maybe smaller can be better?

i first got a list of coordinates from every bigram of letters ('aa', 'ab', ..., 'zy', 'zz') each turned into a continuous cursive line using a modified hershey font. the coordinate sequences resulting from a markov chain on this data trace a demented handwriting (chicken scratch or gobbledygook if you will).

an investigation of the materiality of language, legibility and illegibility, and the intimacy and publicity of hand written language.
