Artist Statement
This is a simple work. It is a cycle of poems, randomly interlinked. It is not radical in its use of technology - the randomising perl script is the most natural way to navigate the cycle of poems because, while all the poems were written in the year 2003 during a period of intense personal circumstances as well as intense public international upheavals, the poems bear no linear relationship to each other and therefore can be read in any order. The technology is used in the service of artistic expression, which is a sensible role for technology. In this case, the artistic expression is simply a cycle of poems, so there is little to recommend it.
