About THE PROJECT

OR HOW I LOVE BREAKING TECH TO BUILD STRANGE CREATURES

  • Howish

  • Numbas

  • Concern?

THE PROCESS

Using speech to text software trained to my scratchy and yet (in the afternoon) velvety voice, I process the worlds of media (movies, radio, music, crowds, the ocean). The software, as all technology, is an imperfect and jealous lover that misunderstands explosions, or ambient noise as text, and retranslates the sounds and dialogues, finds hidden words beneath what we (and it) hears. Think of the process as an interpretive dance, a jittery technological oracle for our electronic boxes that shine out uncertain media prophets. These poems are the first in a series of noise to poetics experiments.

The Rules

Once the raw text file was generated from the source (recording the movies, radio programs and on and on) I recreated the text into a poetic form. All text stayed in the same order, but words were removed, lines broken, enjambment toyed. And the only text additions allowed were a few prepositions or conjunctions, the occasional plural/possessive, some grammar wrecking punctuation and a titling system to give the whole chaotic swagger a bit more framework.

2.1: Selection Sold to do shots: The orange holes, her controlling talk of pixels.

 

 

 

3.1: Confliction

 Wish to Iran:    “Shoulders started going home.”

        Iraqi motor vehicles are exploded (virtual nourishment).

Trading the Iraqi soldiers,  a functional picture book.  You can write

                for an unreported market:

                              “Kindergarten: the way that they want”.

3.2

Publicly the book about wanted Iraqi soldiers

             (accounting and old children) wishes to intrude

                       into other industries,            to enroll the soccer honestly.

3.3

Treasured Capitol Hill and their content delivery truck,   a correlated shuffle.

3.4

Those awaiting the police wish the shooting (wrongful social pushing)

                      was later lost in the week, 

                    the 1964 motor of three young civil rights workers

                                       in Mississippi will be drawn.

Shooting  and going Ks is only a business, as little creatures with restrictions,

                                   little showtime shuttles,      vehicles convicted of nothing.

 Intrusion is charged to the voter’s acumen, a way for the Opera

                          launching initiatives and computers for the knees,

               medicine for AAA in the community.

 5.1: Predilection

 We do love systems,             and television travels.

                                                                                                5.2

 The computer of potential was as close as bases,            holes for you

             as a capital generator and duty yet another auto wholesale.

                                                                                                5.3

 En Route, you are not over the benevolent, an ongoing hold,

                                  so heavy that the people  cannot do it all.

                                                                                                5.4

 How can you who are 99,             a vinegar grapple

          in the category of really hot,     a lever at the bottom of early.

                                                                                                5.5

 You'll know my shuffle full well   to achieve 

                                         behind the hold of 20 and one,

and another yesterday is called a good deal.

Tied to reveal      it is not running,  the pool shoulders in 2001.

                                                                                                6.4

Installed with a false letter, she was taking bottom

          and confusion.      And in the 1960s he was a current, 

      easy along the forest,      wanted to mourn away   too indispensable

 to study how important usually is in the south of optional cost.

 Their repression is expected, the Indians south of South Africa.

Historical governments aren’t always trying to own thinking.

Usually one is a study (bullies the commission of my life).

The article on how it is that an emergency allows the uninsured  a site.

                                                                                                8.3

 It was her body, all authorities and coalitions,  a historic cabin
