Once upon a language

FILE SAO PAULO 2018 | LED SHOW
Electronic Language International Festival

Abstract:
Once upon a language is an abstract representation of the development of languages around the world. It explores the formation of groups of migrants and the interactions between them, looking at how languages started to form and how they managed to survive throughout time. The animation invites the public to reflect on how globalization contributes to the rise of certain languages worldwide, which is as well accompanied by the loss of some others throughout time.
