AS - Situating Change: Combinatory Writing, Interdisciplinary Collaboration, Technology, and Political Reality

Abstract

This article is not intended as a traditional paper but rather it focuses on the presentation of some creative works I have produced in collaboration with other artists. In doing so I also intend like to consider how three aspects of what I do inter-relate: 1. work with combinatory aesthetics in the production of artworks—primarily literary, primarily narrative, made and often meant to be read within computational contexts;2. collaborate with other artists, including other writers, programmers, visual artists and filmmakers, actors, and other sorts of hybrid practitioners:3. reflect political realities in these artworks and through digital narrative, to take discursive positions on real world issues and make them available for discussion, debate, and perhaps other kinds of direct engagement.
