Poetic Operations
Building togertherness
Poetic Operations focus on the relation between form, language, and togetherness. Poetry is not treated as expression, but as operation: as a way of encoding perception, structuring time, and enabling shared meaning.

being of the impulses
smiles at me with thick lips
the one capable of defense who
had called forth completely
in the ever passing
the cracks and streaks gliding
away so
the vessels and buckets of resonant
metal brimful
filled so dazzled
that they had to close
their eyes before the we
and you full
of praise / only that the cleanliness
left something to be desired
although certainly in the
speed that
would have been required
look up / to then
the head turned sideways
again hard
shadows / that obstruct the view
whereupon we gave it up / the fruit and
vegetables to dry out
began in their own kind of unerring
ways each a semitone
higher than those before the bags through
and through soaked
with a viscous liquid
that ran out of the birdhouse
then
dripped down here onto the corridors
grant one still that is missing
Poetic Operations are developed through three interconnected practices:
Writing event notations by encoding perception into a linguistic system.
Collective performance, in which the linguistic system is transformed into an artwork.
Assigning meaning and sense by adopting and transforming the artwork into objects of the environment, as developed in Coincidental Aesthetics.
