Poetry Performance

The Poet as Cyborg: Breathing Code and Pulsing Prompts explores poetry as living code and an embodied algorithm. As a poet, I arrange language like a programmer arranges code -crafting precise word constellations that unlock encoded emotions and shape perception.  Poems are neurological prompts, transmitting signals through body and mind.

The Poetry Performance features excerpts from my recently published collection VERSEN(Gutleut Verlag, 2025), in which poems extend into AR experiences rooted in a long genealogy of weaving, early computing, and contemporary digital sculptures.

Previous venues of the performance include, among others, the Frankfurt Book Fair and the international literature festival BuchBasel.

If you would like to explore some media echo of the performance within the international art-tech sphere, this review was published on Now Media: Art on Tezos Berlin 2025 Recap.
