[vimeo=http://vimeo.com/15224130] Lipstick Enigma creates sentences using 1200 lipsticks, by Janet Zweig with Franklyn Berry for the Harris Engineering Center at the University of Central Florida.
This computer-driven sentence-generator, using rules and lexicon written by the artist, invents and writes a new line of text, and displays it on the sign when triggered by a motion detector. The sentences mix the language of engineering with the language of beauty advertising.
