Raquel Meyers defines her practice as KYBDslojd [mecanografia expandida] whose significance can be defined roughly as <manual skill with a keyboard> that materializes the text characters and the typing on a keyboard beyond the screen to question our relationship with the technology. It is not a mere arbitrary intervention. It is based on and refers to the typewriter, Concrete Poetry, Demoscene and Brutalism. The typewriter contributes to the execution, while poetry contributes to a system, a brutal language that should be learnt. We live in a digital era and no one is free from paradoxes. She works with the so-called obsolete technologies like Commodore 64, Teletext, Typewriter, or Fax.
