emp-lit exercise 100

30/04/2013

 

 

 

for this exercise I looked at the reference links and thought about making a (korsakow) k-film - video clips linked by a word [metadata] but I thought perhaps this wasn’t offline enough?

 

so then I thought of that fortune telling paper folding game that we used to play as a child at school - so I made up one of those. they were like a later “choose your own adventure” type game - a game of chance (perhaps- though I should have thought more about the placement of numbers/colours as often I’d end up back on the same triangle when an even number was played)

 

 

they have colours, numbers (odd+even) + words, so the poem is linked by colours (visual) and numbers and words..

 

I start with the colour (1 of 4 patterns on top 4 leaves)

 

open the leaf, find the colour and the number

 

flip the pages by the number, writing down the word

 

open the same colour, writing down the word

 

open the final layer of page for the word

 

add some punctuation marks

 

to create the following poem:

 

orange - dance! bend! streaming...

 

blue - touch, plane - crows

 

brown sky...

 

sky, colours

 

red river -> hot moon

 

a modified version could have sentences / paragraphs along the way & as the final turned leaf of the paper game.
