The paper discusses a video art project, Nome (1993), by Brazilian artist Arnaldo Antunes. In general, it examines ethics of artistic practice regarding public and private spaces, technology, and the body—physical and civic. Specifically, it dissects Antunes’ project of embodying language in a variety of media.
