Experiment 8

I translated one of Ian Hatcher's poems from his All New work into Spanish. Here is what it looks like:


    nuestro correspondiente afuera ahora
                  con una historia nueva de ante-landia &&

             una coneccion nueva
un hombre hecho de nuevo se amarró a su ventana

una noche nueva         de nuevo crear un nuevo
                                                   cuchillo para
esta esta nueva noche del futuro         mientra se enrosca de nuevo
uno como este como este uno     se curva en ese uno
                     
nosotros dos podemos ser nuevos           completamente-nuevos
juntos podemos ser completamente-nuevos                                en un pliegue en una moda
podemos ser hilos en esta tela reconsumida nosotros también podemos ser  completamente-nuevos
&&
                                
            que haces             que eres
  como        entre    haces gustas           tal
            eres   que haces           haces

Final Project Proposal

Title : Eulogy to My Spanish Summary : My project is going to be an animated poem. The poem is going to be about my experiences and feelings about stopping the use of my native language, specifically why I stopped using it and how I feel years later about rejecting it. I am probably going to be using an Adobe program, though I am not sure if I will be using Adobe Animate, After Effects, or Photoshop. I want the aesthetic to be very simple and minimalist, focusing more on the words themselves and their movements than any background movement or anything too complicating and distracting. Keywords : animated text, digital poetics At the moment, I do not think I want to show my work Wednesday 12/12. Details : My project is going to be an animated poem. I want to experiment with having more control of how fast a reader is reading the words and what I want them to focus more on and just their general experience with the text. The digital aspect of my work is that it is going to be...
