Workshop | Electronic Poetry: Writing with Rules and Computation


This is an experimental writing workshop that introduces participants to the practice of procedural poetry ... more >> writing—poems made by rules, constraints, appropriation, and chance—with digital tools freely available on the Internet.

Over the course of the workshop, students will be able to experiment with writing poems using this technique—creating a prototype for something that could be later developed on a larger scale. Mainstream attention on computer-generated text focuses on its supposed ability to supplant the professional writer, but here students will learn otherwise: computer-generated text can be useful, but it's far more interesting as a creative and poetic tool. No previous coding experience necessary, all levels welcome.
