A manifesto on the polictics of machine poetry, its poetics, and a bit ons its creators.
machine poetry does not seek to represent, to express, to reflect, or to capture experience; it does not seek to heighten or degrade, it's not a vehicle for anything or anyone; it simply is. machine poetry is chemically pure, since it comes from calculus, from the execution of a program.
The Living Liberia Fabric, initiated in affiliation with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Liberia, is an interactive, web-based narrative supporting the goal of lasting peace after years of civil war (1979-2003). It links concerns for liberation, dignity, and the future with needs for cultural foundations, human rights, truth, and reconciliation. Our system is based in Liberia's culture and the specifics of the conflicts, hence representing our cultural computing perspective.
