What happens when we try to escape, hack, merge or excavate platforms? An exploration of future forms of text and e-literature from the #CollaborativeTextLab at dra.ft. Join us for a showcase of our freeFall future.text exhibition from ELO Conference & Festival 2021 (@electronicliterature ) - 🔗Link in Bio #draftAtELO #platforms #exhibition #futuretext 📽️ Presenters @kayserifserif @s_che.art @notaat2021 @pankhurizaheer @ophelia.game @athisownpace @liklalall @himani.kumawat_ 🤓 dra.ft instigators - @ajaibghar.co @athisownpace @computational_mama @nanditi.k 🙌🏻 Motion Poster created with (soon to be released) Word Art Plus tool by @kiel.d.m 🎹 Music credits: Digital World by MaxKoMusic #text #lab #platforms #tech #elit #literature #poetry #writing #machinelearning #NLP #multilinguality #games #interactivefiction #exhibition #visualpoetry #code #audiovisual #hindi #urdu #bots #generator #typography

Collective study, experimentation, several dra.fts, bunch of tools, and many many weekends at the Collaborative Text Lab has allowed us to explore forms and means of future.text when going beyond the flatness and boundaries of platforms. We are grateful to the wonderful dra.fters who joined the lab with inspiring ideas and a truly collaborative spirit! @dennyabrain @notaat2021 @kayserifserif @s_che.art @pankhurizaheer @liklalall @ophelia.game @himani.kumawat_ @tarunima_2 Stay tuned for a dra.fty exhibition of their amazing works! #text #lab #platforms #tech #elit #literature #poetry #writing #machinelearning #NLP #multilinguality #games #interactivefiction #exhibition #visualpoetry #code #audiovisual #hindi #urdu #bots #generator #typography @gather_town #googlesheets

[co-po-jam throwback2020 ft. @IllestPreacha ] Creative Coder & Performative Programmer, who uses Coding, Poetry, Music, Visuals in conjunction with other mediums to enhance experiences. For Dra.ft, he used creative/live coding tools alongside poetry to show that code is poetry and poetry is code. Bringing the visuals AND SONIC ELEMENTS TO ALIGN WITH THE WORDS and vice versa. . . . #copojam #throwback #2020 #questions #wonder #codepoetry #poetry #inquisitive #experimental #explore #generator #draft #jam #doyouthink #designer #creativecoding #coding #creatives #sonicpi #ruby #livecoding #slampoetry #improv

[co-po-jam throwback2020 ft. @sound.codes ] Akash Sharma is an experimental artist exploring electroacoustic improvisation, data manipulation, algorithmic compositions, and sensor-based music. Phantom Words - This was a tiny social experiment for 10 days in mid of lockdown. Phantom words are sounds that are specifically designed so that they don’t have any word or meaning to them. but when we hear it our brain gives meaning to this sound and we hear words. this is an Auditory Illusion. A very loose objective of this social experiment is to somehow plot this general feeling or emotion all of us are in now with this global lockdown. end of this, hopefully, we will have some insight into how all of us as a collective society are feeling. A direct outcome is a word cloud which is like a crowdsourced poetry . . . #copojam #throwback #2020 #questions #wonder #codepoetry #poetry #inquisitive #experimental #explore #generator #draft #jam #doyouthink #designer #creativecoding #coding #creatives #phantom #words #wordcloud #sound

[co-po-jam throwback2020 ft. @priti.pg ] Priti is an information designer who works at the intersection of design, technology & code. The rapid co-evolution of technology and typography has uncovered possibilities for creating immersive experiences that push the limits of expressivity. Increasingly, emerging forms of media are beginning to encompass temporal and interactive behaviors. This project envisions Kalidāsā’s venerable poetry — Meghadūtam — as interactive, three-dimensional typographic forms, moving through space. Type is viewed through the lens of computation to weave form, motion, and interaction to take readers through the poem’s emotional journey. If poetry is a mere shadow of emotions felt, by asking a shadow to dance, we urge to bring words to life, to hold a stronger presence, a deeper voice. . . . #copojam #throwback #2020 #questions #wonder #codepoetry #poetry #inquisitive #experimental #explore #generator #draft #jam #doyouthink #designer #creativecoding #coding #creatives #kalidas #typography #visualart #visualpoetry #kinetic

[co-po-jam throwback2020 ft. @imp8lite ] Praveen is an Interaction Designer, UX Educator & New Media Practitioner, who makes an eclectic mix of work primarily based on code & storytelling. Interpreting a physical action-based algorithm to generate Haiku, with AR filter as the medium & Spark AR as the coding tool. The algorithm involves tilting one's head 3 times to write a Haiku. The head tilt interaction was inspired by the infamous Indian “head-nod”. Praveen showcased the instagram filter and also few clips of users hacking the algorithm and exploring layered interpretations. . . . #copojam #throwback #2020 #questions #wonder #codepoetry #poetry #inquisitive #experimental #explore #generator #draft #jam #doyouthink #designer #creativecoding #coding #creatives #haiku #instafilter #filter #ar #haikufilter

[co-po-jam throwback2020 ft. @enchaussettes ] Hugo is a designer trying to make sense of the world we've built for ourselves while exploring alternative modes of living, earning, and thinking, one project at a time. The program is designed to ask the big questions, always. By using a deceivingly simple question structure similar to that which an inquisitive child might likely use, it is designed to help its reader consider the most (un)likely of circumstances. Hugo's interactive copojam performance generated a crowd-sourced digital zine, collating all the audience answers to these big questions for small talk. . . . #copojam #throwback #2020 #questions #wonder #codepoetry #poetry #inquisitive #experimental #explore #generator #draft #jam #doyouthink #designer #creativecoding #coding #creatives

[co-po-jam throwback2020 ft. @jazer.chand ] Jazer is an interaction designer with a playful itch for coding, and making experimental interfaces that explore the realms of art and computation. In the last copojam, Jazer presented a blackout poetry generator that explored five different modes of poem creation — a comparative to collaborative interface between a bot and the author. Each mode concluded with a generated poem. . . . #copojam #throwback #2020 #draft #blackoutpoetry #codepoetry #codepoem #poetrygenerator #blackoutpoem #generator #computation #creativecoding #interactiondesign #interface #art #poetry #bot #coding #jam #performance #author #collab #machine #human
