Considering themselves as ""archaeologists of the everyday,"" the collective focusses on the interplay of religion, power, language and identities. They investigate mentalities, myths, traditions and transitions through a combination of scholarly research, polemics and lowbrow humour.

While the roll-out of new alphabets has often accompanied the rise and fall of empires, the artists attempt to liberate not so much peoples and nations but rather the sounds and letters that make up language. Chapters include a look at the phoneme [kh] as a sacred perspective in the Hebrew, Arabic and Cyrillic alphabets; Germany's relationship with Orientalism through the tetragraph [dsch]; and a study of nasal phonemes in constructing Polish and Turkish identity.
