1. ⌰ [Total Runout]

   Ian Hatcher’s online and kinetic poem ⌰ [Total Runout] (2015) critiques corporate and governmental black boxing, at the level of its code, text, visual output and live sound performance. The poem is part of the series Drone Pilot, and it is presented in different versions: a Web-based work, a sound piece and a performance. It remixes appropriated text from a WikiLeaked manual by the UK Ministry of Defense, essays on artificial intelligence, and Hatcher’s own text. The overall versions of the work, understood as variable events, boldly problematize communication and cognitive processes in networks—whether they are implemented in computer systems by secret agencies or corporations. Hatcher’s critique to black boxes entails recreating issues of security, control and surveillance, as controlled systems are increasingly paving the way for less privacy and less knowledge about their inner workings. As a result, the poem questions the essence of privacy, redaction, and systemic violence, when access is a privileged asset of agents with security clearances or those with a deep knowledge of programming.

3. Monde instable

   “Monde instable” is French for “unstable world.”

   This is an African e-poem expressed in French and inspired by the current Covid-19 pandemic and the politicians’ responses.

   A lot of politicians are turning themselves into scientists.

   They proffer political sentiment as an egress to this nightmare that’s sweeping millions of souls to the next world, instead of relying on the established scientific facts to fight the disease.

   Moreover, these world leaders are not humble enough to allow scientists and academics to give us lasting solutions through the help of the Heavens and the intelligentsia.

   Another pandemic is climatophosis (i.e climate change, a word I coined this year in my digital poetry).

   This is worse than the Covid-19 pandemic, though many don’t believe this. It is real! Climatophosis has brought humans and wild animals to share the same niches.

   Notably, in the northeastern Nigeria (Adamawa and Borno), since the early 2000s, we’ve had elephants invading our backyard orchards and gardens which led to the loss of valuable forest and cash crops.
