Couple Machine, a generative poetry sculpture remixing French/English homographs from Balzac's novel. Probably me and @KalenIwamoto most personal work.
Excited to share @WenNew_Atelier's latest work, "Couple Machine" -- a duet between reader & writer, French & English, human & machine, and @JulienSilvano and me.

Thrilled to be part of this amazing lineup of artists in a group show opening in Paris later this month @Danae__io
❤️🔥 @benjaminbardou @ivonatau @ryankoopmans @alicewexell
1/7
As we head toward the opening of HETEROTOPIES, our next group show curated by @MarleneCorbun , we want to introduce you to the artists behind it.
@benjaminbardou , @ivonatau , Alec Waxman, @WenNew_Atelier (@KalenIwamoto & @JulienSilvano ) and The Wild Within (@ryankoopmans & @alicewexell): five practices that build places between the real and the imagined. Cities made of memory, landscapes that never quite existed, interiors taken back by nature.
Let's have a look at the artists in the show ⬇️

Everyone is talking about the "AI kill switch".
Panic Poetry already has one. (Just in case the poetry gets out of control 😬)

1/ For 2 weeks in September, 1/2 of Wen New Atelier (Kalen) was a member of faculty for @banffcentre’s computational writing programme.
It was a delight and privilege to work with this bright, generous, curious cohort on exciting, thoughtful projects.
I left with a head…

Space Bar Invaders is a ludic exploration of empty space as a condition of language and meaning. The player-poet uses a single key — the space bar — to remove letters and reveal the word buried inside each line. They win the game when all five words of the poem have been freed.

Visiting Lyon with my family, I had the chance to discover the brilliant Bar CodeX exhibition at @macLyon by @WenNew_Atelier (@KalenIwamoto & @JulienSilvano), beautifully curated by @MarleneCorbun. I had such a great time! Thanks, Paul, for the visit, and congrats on finding such an engaging and interactive way to question text slop. 👏

The Erasure Bar is a series on poetry and politics, erasure and exposure.
A deep dive into a series we made specially for our Bar CodeX exhibition at @macLyon, curated by @MarleneCorbun, and supported by @artontezos_

How did we miss this? 🤯 Recently stumbled upon this article in @f_immersive, which came out last November 🙃 It’s a great article, thoughtful and well-written. "Where language fractures, it also opens, revealing its own structure."
Thank you ❤️🙏

A thead about Dispiriation[s]
1/ Georges Perec wrote a 300-page novel, La Disparition, without using the letter e, the most common letter in the French language. In French, “eux” (them) and the letter “e” are homonyms. Who might “them” be? It’s been said that it refers to his...

Break glass in case of emergency 🚨
Panic Poetry is a poetry machine with an emergency stop button.
It generates a new poem every 3 seconds, an interval just long enough to draw readers into the poem, but not long enough to finish. It artificially recreates the sense of...

1/ Things we overheard at @macLyon this weekend during Nuit des Musées :
A young woman explaining Perec's lipogrammatic novel to her friends in front of one of our pieces.
Our son making a new friend over a game of Pong Poem.
