Long abstract:

In this presentation we present several analog remixes, largely accomplished with paper and scissors together with basic crafting skills (weaving, folding) including: (1) A large woven paper mat in the form of a tide, that interweaves essays on Sky (Peterson) and Sea (Bakke). This piece is designed partially at random, and partially using the found poetry techniques of Katy Didden; (2) A set of three en-folded books that layer paragraph length prose poems by both authors together under a single cover; and (3) experiments in building words from an ongoing editorial project organized around the periodic table of the elements. The authors will present these projects, exploring how they differ from other modes of (longstanding) collaboration. Particular attention will be paid to the form of remix afforded by folding and weaving, along with the work of crafting contexts in which they can be encountered and engaged with.

Gretchen Bakke is presenting, Marina Peterson is co-author
