WA/ONDER is a digital text work about the beauty and strength of entanglements heard through your eyes. It’s title came from Faust’s first site visit where the concepts of “wander” and “wonder” presented themselves as central to The Mews’ vibe. Formally the letters themselves and their positions relative to one another become an instrument, like the keys of a piano, to annotate, animate, contextualize and amplify the word sequence.
