Poetry for two voices, text from the UK’s letter invoking Article 50 and in so triggering Brexit, news headlines on immigration from British newspapers
7’50”
United UK is a poetry for two female voices, composed by an algorithm. The code filters the text of the UK’s letter triggering Article 50, with online news headlines on immigration, from British magazines.
This type of poetic composition known as diastic is a form of aleatory composition.
This allows words from a seeding text (in this case the news headlines on immigration) to be used in oder to to reorganise the context of a source text (the letter triggering Article 50) into a new piece.
The poetry is read and performed by two synthesised female voices or virtual actresses.
