Wordtotem=Taaltotem – Concept for Dordtselaan Rotterdam – 2006

Wordtotem =Taaltotem – is a concept for an interactive language sculpture for the Dordtselaan in Rotterdam, developed by Henri van Zanten in collaboration with Ir. Andries Micke.

It was the result of a commission by Stichting De Vrije Parel (Free Pearl Foundation) and the SKOR (Stichting Kunst Openbare Ruimte = Foundation for Art in Public Space)

It was rejected as being too monumental. Then van Zanten and Micke came up with the Wordrattle=Taalratel. Indeed a more transparant and fitting sculpture. See also Wordrattle=Taalratel.
