[Intro] Lexia To Perplexia is a complex interaction between the user, the apparatus, and the application. One is constantly feeding off of the other. If one part is not present, there is no existence as a whole. The text itself is a product of the ongoing communication of all three participants. It is a mixing and remixing of linguistics and technology, a kind of rhetorical interplay of the essence of technology and the instrumental reasoning of the machine as a logical Other. The interactors find themselves immersed in a reconfiguration of I.D.entity concepts. Lexia to Perplexia is a puzzle/maze, in which the user must contemplate their personal existence within the I.Terminal.
