A-Z refers to the transition from an aural (and oral) environment to the visual environment in order to comment on the reversion back to the aural environment. The music is the equivalent of the visual content but unending and was composed according to the structure of the English alphabet. It is a translation of the perceptual environment of alphabeticization. This project was heavily affected and effected by McLuhan. Every page from a favoured translation of Plato’s Republic, fills the duration of the video.
