1. Turn on Literature

   3 Libraries in Romania, Norway and Denmark have joined forces to “turn on literature” by creating 3 generative literature machines (poetry machines) and 3 authors have written texts for the machines. The poetry machine is designed to involve users in the creation of e-lit in the library space. Through a game-like interface the user combines the author’s sentences into a poem, which will then be printed onto a library receipt creating an intermedial translation. At the same time, the poem will be projected onto projection surfaces in the other participating libraries making the installation transnational. The poetry machine translates the concept of e-literature into a tangible object (a printed poem) and transforms the solitary activities of writing and reading into a social undertaking since three simultaneous users can interact with the machine creating a poem together. Our installation is located within the “Translations” strand of the festival. The festival in Porto will be the very first showing of the installation, which is an up-scaled re-design and re-writing of the Ink installation presented at the ELO conference in Milwaukee in 2014.
