Oh why so serious?, a computer keyboard transformed into a symbolic language cemetery, is an artwork by Paul Chan. It is part of Alternumerics, a project that “explores the relationship between language and
interactivity by transforming the simple computer font into an art form that explores the fissure between what we write and we what mean. By replacing individual letters and numbers (known as alphanumerics) with textual and graphic fragments that signify what is typed in radically different ways, Alternumerics transforms any computer connected to a standard printer into an interactive artmaking installation.”
