How to account for this impressive ongoing work in these short postings? This massive collaborative work borrows the structure of architectural forms such as the Hagia Sophia and the Dzamija in Zagreb, Croatia and the 4680 glass lenses that adorn its cupola to inform its animation, open spaces for readers to collaborate, and develop a huge dataset to inform its algorithms, and to shape and generate texts. It also opens spaces for readers to respond to some of its texts, adding to the textual dataset and incorporating it into the work.
Although some of its language can be very quotidian, it bursts into the poetic by virtue of its visual arrangements, kinetic dance, and combinatorial restructurings. This is an ambitious poetic undertaking: one worth exploring, careful reading and observation, and your own input. How often can you be a part of an international performance?
