From co-founding @theVERSEverse to building @WenNew_Atelier with @JulienSilvano , @KalenIwamoto opened up about her practice, her relationship to language, constraint, and what it means to write at the edge of technology.

No time to travel to Lyon or go to the museum, the museum is coming to you with a private tour by curator @MarleneCorbun. A nice way to (re)discover the AI poetry practice of @WenNew_Atelier and their new collaboration with @agoriamusic.

Museum show spotlight: @WenNew_Atelier transforms language into interactive art in their @macLyon Bar CodeX solo show
Walk with curator @MarleneCorbun in the museum: youtu.be/7iCbNckYry0?is=X5sg…
This duo (Kalen Iwamoto and Julien Silvano) operates at the intersection of conceptual poetry, blockchain technology, and interactive systems. Their practice draws from Fluxus, Oulipo, and Surrealism while asking how language circulates in our digital age.
Discover the highlights from their Bar CodeX show in the video:
🎮 Pong Poem: arcade game meets conceptual poetry
🤖 AI-co-authored play inscribed on Ethereum blockchain
🎵 Collaboration with electronic artist Agoria
📝 Interactive poetry synthesizer: Miniscriber Duo
Note for collectors: @KalenIwamoto co-founded @theverseverse , the pioneering platform for digital poetry alongside @sashastiles and @CaballeroAnaMa. This institutional recognition at the contemporary museum of Lyon in France signals growing museum acceptance of digital art.
