reWrite
interactive language based installation
The focus of an artwork such as reWrite is identity. The work addresses this theme through the use of interactive systems, where the relationship between the viewer and the artwork is explicit and active. This act of interaction functions to raise questions concerning being and, through the process of communication, the linguistic foundations of identity.

Language artworks, such as reWrite, map an exploration of the manner in which this dynamic of differentiation through reading/writing can be disturbed and opened up as a conscious process. The primary element in this strategy has been the use of auto-generative texts, where the text appears correctly written and to be concerned with a particular subject but where there has been no authorial role other than the processes of a mechanised writing. The intent here is to create instances of textuality where the text is written of itself. That is to say, the text is generated as a function of language itself. Authorial intent is absent, replaced by a process of auto-generative writing.

Free Lutz!
50 years ago a calculator generated a literary text for the first time ever. And this was in Stuttgart my hometown.
Theo Lutz wrote 1959 a program for Zuse Z22 to create stochastic texts. On the advice of the Stuttgardian philosopher Max Bense, he took sixteen nouns and adjectives out of Kafka’s “Schloss,” which the calculator then formed into sentences, following certain patterns. Thus every sentence began with “ein” or “jeder” (“one” or “each”) or the corresponding negative form “kein” or “nicht jeder” (“no” or “not every”). Then the noun, selected arbitrarily from the pool of sixteen, was linked through the verb “ist” (“is”) with the likewise arbitrarily chosen adjective. Then the whole assembly was linked up through “und,” “oder,” “so gilt” (“and,” “either,” “thus”) or given a full stop. Following these calculation instructions, by means of this algorithm, the machine was able to construct such sentences as:EIN TAG IST TIEF UND JEDES HAUS IST FERN
(A day is deep and every house is distant)
JEDES DORF IST DUNKEL; SO GILT KEIN GAST IST GROSS

For a meaning of poiesis: 4 notes/interfaces
Contrary to Walter Pater’s celebrated maxim that “All art constantly aspires towards the condition of music”, it is claimed here that the real aspiration is towards poetry, above all if we consider it as synonymous to poiesis, to creation in the broad and also extensive sense. Derived from the Greek term meaning ‘to make’ it can be applied to the whole invention of language (construction of forms) and to the reading of things (the cosmo-view of the world, of reality), it is more encompassing and applicable to the plural universe of records and the support of art and poetry. Furthermore, it would be oriented more towards poetry in the sense of reading not alienated from things, as Roland Barthes would say; in short, for a language other than the reified, repressed. This perspective is far from the particularly abstract ambition (almost of another world) that shows off music and sound, and approximates to the solidity and distance of poetry, because in essence it always dissolves between sound and feeling, between the concretion of language and its more distant and abstract materialization. Between the known feeling and that which is created.

From chaos to cybereal space
Chaos & Cyber Culture brings together a series of articles written by Timothy in from the 70s to the 90s, including the title article, published in 1994, covering his reflections and predictions about the digital universe and its communications network. It is impossible to map the rich source of Leary’s ideas, some of which I shall try to summarize here, without using the creative terminology with which he expounds the exuberance and turbulence of his imagination.

Nobody knows but you
nobody knows but you was written for Double-Cute Battle Mode, an application prototype for a VJ (video jockey) remix battle. DCBM allows two players to combine visuals and special effects in a playful competition for screen space. Using joysticks, players plug their imagination into their computer and share a creative space in an intuitive video-game style interaction. The piece was conceived as a way to ease text back into an image-dominated culture by treating it simultaneously as a visual special effect and as a poem. The twenty-three verses appear on a plane in three-dimensional space. A cube shape displays additional visuals. Both the cube and the plane may be scaled and rotated, and the reader has control over which verse or image is displayed. You may notice in the image at top left, or while watching the installation video, a twelve-year-old girl plopped down in front of the installation. She played with the piece on and off for three hours. She began singing the words, making up melodies and turning certain verses into refrains. There is a clear lack of literature that responds to the intellectual and creative needs of young people today.
