This session will follow four artists and writers who have made the digital an integral part of their practice. In performance and discussion, they will explore what poetics means to our age when received notions of humanity are intermingling with artificial intelligence. They will also explore how themes of excess, now-ness, transmediation, flow, trauma, and personal accounting/personal accountability can be incorporated. Memes, emojis, algorithmic ads, public domain texts and other digital totems will also be examined—with Bachelard never far away. Everyone present will collaborate on a list of digital spaces like chat windows, private forums, and online profiles (fake/real) befitting a new poetics. The session will conclude with a Q&A. Participants will also respond to comments from the official @AndNow2019 Twitter handle.
