FOR QWERTYU
by Giacomo Verde
with the collaboration of Lello Voce and Mauro Lupone
Qwertyu is the first seven letters of the computer keyboard. According to legend, they were part of the first e-mail message of history. This title has been chosen as a paradigm of the contents of the work: the first signs, organized thoughts, underlying the construction of sense as an architectural construction and viceversa, in a context structured (and undermined?) by the computer language of the Web.
In Qwertyu the button “submit” of the HTML modules, interpreted as it appears, changes meaning and becomes the brick-word that can be used for the “construction” of basic architectures made up of poetic lines (polysemous openings). The brick-submit thus becomes a door-link: a transparent structure of linking “matter”. Therefore, in Qwertyu, words weigh, architectures think and sounds support, all of them made up of the same “matter”: bits.
