Introduction

Complete Definitions

Dorner Prize 2021
July 4, 2021 - June 30, 2022

Meaning, rational, authentic, morality. These concepts are highly valued, but the words themselves elude absolute definition. In Complete Definitions, astrophysicist turned artist Dr. Jack Madden examines these words in a way that reminds us of the fundamentally recursive nature of language. Using words and their definitions, high-resolution networks visualize the complex yet closed way language is connected. This online exhibition walks through the construction of these networks, allowing viewers to explore their detailed features.
