Experimentations | Defining Dorian Gray | The use of two books | Part One

Exploring the internet as a tool and the role of ownership through the use of recontextualizing The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. My idea is to explore the use or over use of the role of the dictionary upon a piece of text I wish to refine. By using a chance element I rolled a D 100 dice of which the number determines the sentence I define. Each word of that sentence is rewritten using it's dictionary definition to create a new piece of text that remains within the original.

After completing a sentence that expanded into a large paragraph, I attempted to edit it and add grammar to bring it back to more of a full sentence rather than a unorganised random mess that wouldn't be possible to read.
