The conventional means of presenting the arts in this country provide a limited number of opportunities for practicing artists to connect their work with their public. Refusing to wait to be chosen by a conventional venue, I am making efforts to assume responsibility for the production of my work and exploring an alternative space for my work to be accessible. Click on the post title to get to the site!
The Dynamo Commutator experiment is a project about the world. Using a Google Site, digital images, poetry and hypertext methodology, it is a paradox of time and space. The web-based art (visual + poetry + audio) site is a condensed micro space: contained by the size of your monitor, HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and dependent on access to a computer and the Internet. Images and text are embedded in the site and the poetry can be read in a typical linear progression or as non-linear, based on where + when you click on the links.
I begin with the claim that all poetry is a performance; even when a poem is fixed on a page it still performs. To move a poem to other media is simply a multidimensional close reading. The Dynamo Commutator project develops the use of media other than the standard printed page for the transmission of poetry + digital imagery. The next stage is to collaborate with others to add their art / poetry / music + hyperlink edits.
