Session 3 | Lea
As part of the first episode of our Special Issue #28, aired on 25-09-22, I brought a cut-up text to perform together with the group. The concept follows the surrealist idea of latent news, but can also be traced to Tristan Tzaras text To Make A Dadaist Poem or the cut-up technique used by William Burroughs and Brion Gysin.
Input
The input consisted of the principles of permacomputing and Sunjoo Lee's descriptions of her artistic research project Electric Garden, as well as the articles How to Mount a Balcony Awning by Dmitriy Kurochkin and Building a slow web by Greg Sarjeant. As I did not have enough time to cut up everything I brought, not every input text made it in to the final output. Each of us took a few snippets of text (single words or phrases) and rearranged them into longer phrases or sentences. We then went around in a circle and read them out loud.
Output
All hardware especially the internet as chips to be fed Flexible electricity built on radio signal are the principles of permacomputing Never stops pushing. Is an ongoing electric garden Artistic research powered by the early internet consider carefully insects
The best I remember showing the electric garden The worst relational process explores the garden Flowing and it is still making control the feed integrate coming to bathe never stops Interaction between hope for but the feed is flourishing
Living you don't Simplicity, complexity and almost biological and renewable one year old A place solid ground electricity that algae now And your role is the garden, composting computers, and everything
