Artistic Approach
What is poetry and literature when transformed and modified by technology? What do emotions and narratives, modified by codes and software, say about our relationship to technology? Does the poetic experience in virtual reality allow us to better understand the human/machine entanglement in which we live? What does it uncover of the human/machine relationship?
How do multiple translations (from the imaginary to the written word in the case of poetry, and then from the written word to the virtual representation in the case of virtual reality) operate, influence and contaminate each other.
