;; re(context) ;; is a series of interactive texts (a digital chapbook) first created through a digital fellowship with Laboratory Spokane. Each piece investigates the fluidity of language—how, like water, language fills its container. And how we, as the keepers of language, cannot help but contextualize it through our physical experiences, even despite the ostensibly disembodied act of being online.
