On
Friday, January 13th at 2PM, poet
Nkosi Nkululeko will lead a craft talk and workshop on a procedural analog form of his own reinvention—the square poem. Drawing on a lineage of multi-directional and procedural poetry, the square poem demonstrates the expansiveness that constraint can lend and offers perspective into what generative and procedural forms can look like
outside of digital spaces. Though, we imagine this form to have applications in and implications for computational creativity too! Y
ou can see a quick introduction to the form from Nkosi himself at the link here.
This event is part of
If, Then: Technology and Poetics, a collaborative, public, and interdisciplinary virtual working group and workshop series promoting inclusivity and skills-building in creative computation. Check out
our website here and get in touch with Carly Schnitzler (cschnitz@live.unc.edu) or Lillian-Yvonne Bertram (lbertram@northeastern.edu) with any questions or suggestions.
Supported by Carolina Seminars and the Digital Literacy and Communications Lab at UNC.
