These publications often invoke different readings. Peter Lemmens sees amateurism as a productive mode. Here the accidental is installed as a narrative structure. For about a year, an indecipherable, ficitional language was produced by cleaning a computer\u0026rsquo;s keyboard. However, this mundane action is still legible as amateruristic writing. It simply demands a different set of parameters to read it, a system slightly apart from regular fiction.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":2464,"name":"Peter Lemmens","category":{"en":"Author","nl":"Auteur","fr":"Auteur"}}]}
