Introduction: This is an iterative interdisciplinary project which uses language as a cipher for the lived experience of disability and offers the idea of dyslexia as an aesthetic choice. This work is intended to merge form and content and integrate disability aesthetics with technology while exploring digital dance choreography and research. The coding of the web page will randomly rearrange letters within the text and replace words where specified. Letters will rearrange more quickly the longer a user is on the page, and will begin at a faster rate when viewed at evening. The work explores the edge of being more and less accessible through the coding, use of Comic Sans font, and being a digital medium. The timing and durational components artistically mimic some dyslexics' difficulty reading at different times of day and seeks to illustrate the fluid rather than static nature of dyslexia and the body.
