New Art Sudoku Game

January 24th, 2008 – Bill Davenport

From a recent press release about a symposium in Karlsruhe, Germany. Maybe it was translated poorly:

"OUR LITERAL SPEED manifests the imperatives that materialize the theoretical and the pedagogical."

If only "manifests" had eleven letters instead of nine, that phrase would consist solely of eleven-letter words linked by "the", "that", and "and".

On the ZKM website (the organization hosting the event), the phrase was revised:

»OUR LITERAL SPEED« manifests the situational and contextual imperatives that materialize the theoretical and the pedagogical.

A sporting attempt to add a fifth and a sixth eleven-letter word, but the effect was marred by a tragic miscount on "contextual".
