Poetic Computation: Reader – Code as a form of poetry and aesthetic

Author Filip VisnjicCategory Javascript Members Theory People , Posted on:

Poetic Computation: Reader is an online-book about code as a form of poetry and aesthetic by Taeyoon Choi. Based on his lectures at the School for Poetic Computation, the book introduces the poetic aspects of computation and considers how engaging technology with this lens can lead to new political possibilities. In connecting modern computation to its historical antecedents, it problematises the fetishistic embrace of technology and presents a case for [radical/ongoing] intervention.

The book’s format is an extension of those themes—taking the form of an open source, digital reader designed and developed by New York-based studio HAWRAF. Exploring new ways for reading online, the book emphasizes accessibility, offering a range of inputs through which to engage with the text.

Weird Second-order Loops – Generative individuality and circumstance

Weird Second-order Loops is a series of computer-generated animation loops that never repeat. Each of the loops is centred around a playful and simple cyclical idea that is a procedural reinterpretation of a long existing animation cliché, potentiating it ad infinitum.
