Excited to have a new media-rich poem, VARIATION 1: PORTRAIT OF THE POET IN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING, in this group show (and on the poster!). Opening Oct 3 on
virtual.hek.ch, with thanks to
@synthesis_____ @lerandomart @HEK_Basel.
VARIATION 1: PORTRAIT OF THE POET is a layered, generative work that merges AI and human voice, code and handwritten script. The text of the poem is the result of collaborating with my AI alter ego, Technelegy, to workshop the analog poem "Portrait of the Poet as a Brief History of Humanity" via machinic imagination, and is part of a larger project exploring the relationship between poetic synthesis and synthetic data.
Further translated into
#CursiveBinary - a language developed for transhuman communication - the piece explores the intersection of the virtual and the visceral, probing new materialities in a more-than-human world.
Curated by Giorgio Vitale, MATERIAL POETRY showcases the work of five artists โ
@CaballeroAnaMa #DanielleBrathwaiteShirley #EduardoKac @francis_ost and
@sashastiles - each embracing distinct poetic languages and artistic strategies.
