1. Reading Club

   Reading Club is a project started by Emmanuel Guez and Annie Abrahams in 2013. Eleven sessions were organized with more than 40 different “readers” in English and/or French based on text extracts from Raymond Queneau, from Mez and the ARPAnet dialogues to Marshall McLuhan, Michel Bauwens and McKenzie Wark. Guez and Abrahams experimented with different reading and writing constraints (color, duration, text-length, number of “readers”, etc.) and different performance conditions (online vs. live performance, with and without sound, etc.). In a session of the Reading Club, readers are invited to read a given text together. These readers simultaneously write their own words into this text given a previously fixed maximum number of characters. The Reading Club can be seen as an interpretive arena in which each reader plays and subverts the writing of others through this intertextual game.

2. Bijenkorf

   The poem 'Bijenkorf' by Annet de Graaf spoke to me because it uses minimal interventions to give another meaning to words. As i interpret it, the poem is about someone who is seeking a person, but this person has changed so much that only the memory remains. I have chosen to make an animation which is a literal as well as surreal quest for words of the poem. The animation consists of a lot of articles you could find at a department store, but also a few objects that do not belong there at all. The reader/viewer uses the cursor to search for invisible buttons which lead to the next sentence. The location of the buttons is only clear because the cursor changes into a hand when the reader moves across it. (Translation description Literatuur Op Het Scherm)
