The End

The End

The last crumbling remains of wooden architecture from the Golden Age of rural life still hold literary & semantic clues for an organic poetry of the future. The Nature Poem has collapsed, atrophied by its own stale language of flesh and bone. And like these rural buildings & settlements, words can be liberated to enable open networks of innovative language and thought. In simple terms, watch The End as we speak, intone, sound, narrate, imagine our way through an interactive digital montage of rural southwest Wisconsin's abandoned 19th century buildings. 30 minute interactive dvd run by CamillE BacoS, mIEKAL aND / Maria Damon—computer-generated seance, Liaizon Wakest—Theremin. This piece was recently performed at &Now Conference for Innovative Poetics at Lake Forest College, Illinois.

Requirements: Table suitable for seance, 2 microphones for readers, projection equipment for DVD, small sound mixer & speakers for Theremin set up.
