1. Loss Sets

   Artist’s Statement:
   “Loss Sets” translates poems co-written by Jordan Scott and Aaron Tucker into sculptures printed by 3D printers.
   If language is the material from which poetry is built, what becomes of poetry when it sheds language for pure form? What, if anything, is reconciled?
   What is reimagined? What is lost? Within this nexus of translation and sculptural poetics, the project thus aims to respond to the multiples of contemporary loss (physical, environmental, artistic, personal).
   The poetic form allows Scott and Tucker to explore the dirge, lament and elegy as means to grapple with loss and, ultimately, the failure of language to adequately represent trauma.
   The poems, written in collaboration, therefore bring two consciousnesses to the task of what can only be the failed task of reclamation.
   It is hoped that when joined with the algorithm and, finally, the 3D object itself, Scott and Tucker’s poetics of loss will take on a ‘translated’ physical form to be handled, manipulated, stolen or destroyed.

2. Novelling

   Novelling is a digital novel from 2016 by Will Luers, Hazel Smith and Roger Dean and it is about fiction itself, and how we read and write it. The authors' aim is to analyze and combine the performances of reading-fiction and writing-fiction in order to create a "common system" in which the two activities work together. To make it possible, they employed three key-elements, as text, video and sound. Novelling has been written on a website using the languages of HTML5 and JavaScript and it is available on its website (novelling.newbinarypress.com). The authors created several interfaces which last 30 seconds - then, new interfaces will appear. Anyways, the user may change it whenever he/she wants just clicking on the screen. After 6 minutes, the novel restarts allowing the reader to experience a new reading direction.

3. The impossible Box

   The Impossible Box is an unruly crowd or an ex-dairy farm valley confused about which direction the nature should grow. It’s being lost in a city without the aid of language or lights, and being guided by a stranger whose intentions are clear and unclear, alternating every block. It controls and confuses, arranges and then destroys all manner of poetics texts. Images, sounds, words, movements, arise, grow, knock and explode with the pressing of 32 different buttons and switches.There is a sequence. There are answers inside The Impossible Box. Indeed, within the correct combination of presses and clicks, the appropriate sequence of actions and reactions, there is an answer, a final destination, a masterwork of such splendor and alarmingly wondrous perfection, your heart would hold such gravity, all things would crush into your chest. And in the most real way it is a box, a handmade wooden box with holes and wires and computing gizmos coughing sequences into a device that spits light onto walls and sound from its hollow heights.
