Experiment 5 / Input Flux

< Introduction >

Input Flux was developed as a conceptual exploration of how algorithmic systems absorb, sort, and categorise human input. Building on the core ideas of datafication and algorithmic identity, I wanted to visualise the moment when our words stop being language and start becoming data.

Input Flux is typographic and classification experiment where user-entered words split into drifting letters that the system automatically sorts into nine data boxes. Over time, these boxes form an archive the user can see but cannot influence, echoing how platforms break down expression into data and reclassify it algorithmically.
