I.

This entry is about the curious ubiquity of Coding, and what it means.
And why I decided to be a Coding Poet.

II.

This entry examines a tension. It lies between the chaos and bureaucracy of workaday life; and the world of poetry tranquil and free.
I acknowledge the privilege of poethood.

III.

This entry explores the high-entropy nature of human’s subjective existence, and the futility of poetry, art, as well as tech when it comes to articulating such.

IV.

This entry observes the transcendental nature of certain information/data/motif,
and imagines its outlook against the ever growing, ever devouring Leviathan of Tech.

V.

This entry is an annex and continuation of the last. It talks about the motif of Shipping Forecast.

VI.

This entry documents the process of establishing Poetic.cargo.site’s presence in the Physical World.
This consists of the CONCRETE︎︎︎ corner of the triangulation.

CONTEXT is one of the three components︎︎︎ of the ongoing, research-led, practice-based project on Coded Concrete Poetry︎︎︎, taking the form of (more or less) freestyle written responses. The body of writings documents the countless ideas and thoughts that informed, formulated and directed the studio practice (a.k.a. the COMPOSE component) which deserves to be a freestanding body of work in its own right.
The project started as a response to a brief set by CSM MAGCD︎︎︎ (Central Saint Martins MA Graphic Communication Design) Unit 3: Realise and Project︎︎︎. However the Poetic Practice will go beyond my Masters study and constantly flowing, circulating and evolving.
