This lecture aims to show the extreme symbolic fragility of the new character that words assume on the screens of our computers and our digitized lives: produced with a keystroke, they are erased with the same keystroke, disappear, are replaced without loss of support, without scratching a parchment or passing the eraser over a sheet where ink has been traced by scratching the surface.
Our words no longer carry weight: random, they vanish, fading away with the same indifference that multiplies them in a drifting space.
The aim of this lecture is to re-establish a historical paradigm in which words were living matter, a "thing" and not just a sign.
