The first programme of Its origins are indeterminate is titled Making a hunter’s bluff out of a word after a line from Pontypool by Tony Burgess. Between speaking agents, some things catch, hold on, despite the distance various translations create. The works presented begin to unravel language as a faulty carrier of meaning, vulnerable to semiotic stowaways.
