3. LETTERS FROM THE ARCHIVERSE

   As a programmable writing project, Letters from the Archiverse can be considered both a visual poem and an application. Its most current version was composed (and continues to be developed) with architectural modeling space software AutoCAD. Combining methods and techniques drawn from traditional lineages of concrete poetry and ―open-field‖ composition with 3D image modeling, the poem offers writers and viewers alike the opportunity to engage in the materiality of screen-based writing, while exploring new directions and theories in visual language art. In the current phase of the project, readers are able to explore and manipulate the poem on the iPad, using a commercial architectural drafting app.

4. Know

   Buzz Aldrin Doesn't Know Any Better was a poem about crazy talking with a street-person outside a pawn shop on a sunny San Francisco afternoon.

   The original work was first created to be the middle panel for Things You've Said Before But We Never Heard, a triptych exploring conversations with in different registers, as well as the differences in presenting text in print and screen formats.

   Know is the second app in the Poetry for Excitable [Mobile] Media (P.o.E.M.M.) Cycle. We will create a series of ten such apps, each exploring different interaction methods, collaboration strategies, and publication methods. The P.o.E.M.M.s are also part of a series of exhibition-scale interactive touch-works integrated with large-scale printed texts. To find out more about the P.o.E.M.M. project, visit www.poemm.net.

5. Speak

   Speak v. 3 is a platform with which to experiment with digital poetry. Users can enter their own text and interact with it in the Speak way, or they can feed the app with text from a Twitter stream.

   Speak v. 1 was an interactive poem about mistaken identity and the confusion that happens when people believe you are somebody you are not. V. 2 was a mini-platform hosting texts about place, voice and the nature of poetry itself. It features four commissioned texts, written by well-known guest poets:
   — J.R. Carpenter
   — David Jhave Johnston
   — Jim Andrews
   — Aya Karpinska

   Speak is the first app in the Poetry for Excitable [Mobile] Media (P.o.E.M.M. ) Cycle. We will create a series of ten such apps, each exploring different interaction methods, collaboration strategies, and publication methods.

6. The Use

   Mann provides access to both written and audio texts in a minimalist interface that takes a little getting used to— both online and in the iOS app. It invites clicking around, which results in fascinatingly incomprehensible speech, as the audio files become layered and words jumble together. The great thing about this layering is that, while we lose individual words and their meanings, we gain a heightened sense of the rhythms and musicality of Mann’s speech.

8. Quantum Collocation: Experimental Poems for Mobile Digital Devices

   Quantum Collocation is a work of experimental writing designed as an application for mobile digital devices. An interactive erasure of an excerpted page from a foundational essay by preeminent physicist Niels Bohr, Quantum Collocation applies the laws of quantum mechanics to the user’s experience of the work, allowing her to uncover a range of unique poetic possibilities within Bohr’s original text through her positioning and repositioning of the mobile device in space. The work embodies Bohr’s notion of “complementarity,” in which the way an experimental apparatus designed to measure a particle’s properties is configured is crucial to determining precisely which of those particle’s characteristics become determinate at the moment of observation. In Quantum Collocation, Bohr’s words are the particles under observation, and the mobile device is the experimental apparatus through which those observations are made possible; each of the device’s unique positions in space uncover a unique poetic possibility within Bohr’s original writing.

9. Abra

   Abra is an exploration and celebration of the potentials of the book in the 21st century. A collaboration between Amaranth Borsuk, Kate Durbin, Ian Hatcher, and a potentially infinite number of readers, the project merges physical and digital media, integrating a hand-made artist's book with an iPad app to play with the notion of the “illuminated” manuscript and let readers "hold the light" of language. In the artist’s book, the poems grow and mutate as the reader turns the pages, blurring the boundary between text and illumination, marginalia and body. Animating across the surface, the poems coalesce and disperse in an ecstatic helix of words, taking turns "illuminating" one another's margins and interstices.They play with the mutation of language, both by forming new portmanteaus and conjoined phrases, and also through references to fecundity as it manifests in the natural world, the body, human history, popular culture, decorative arts, and architecture, placing the shifting evolution and continuous overlap of all these spheres in dialogue with the ever-changing technology of the book.

10. Vniverse iPad App [iOS adaptation]

    The VNIVERSE app is a poetry instrument you can play. In DRAW mode, touch and drag to create your own constellations. In CONSTELLATIONS mode, explore the ten constellations found in the coordinate print book, V : WaveTercets / Losing L’una (SpringGun Press, 2014). WAVETERCETS plays the entire run of poem tercets for you, starting at the beginning. Or, by touching any star, you may begin anywhere you like. ORACLE lets you pose seven questions to the sky. CLEAR button clears the sky. Stephanie Strickland’s V was first published by Penguin (2002) as an invertible book with two beginnings, V : WaveSon.nets / Losing L’una. Mid-book, a URL leads to V : Vniverse (2002, Director project with Cynthia Lawson Jaramillo). Another part of V is the Flash poem, Errand Upon Which We Came (2001, with M.D. Coverley). The Vniverse app for iPad was created in 2014 with Ian Hatcher.
