The "iheart poetics" series explores mutable texts as interactive visual poetry. A poem is written; its language is split apart, produced as magnetic text objects, then re-assembled on varying steel media.

With "iheart poetics", the authorship and vocabulary of each poem is established by [sic], then evolves over time through the hand of its audience. Featuring temporal writings rarely at rest, "iheart poetics" imagines the code of reality as an organic, chaotic I/O matrix, where nothing is fixed and the line blurs between individual and group.

In this scenario, the recipient of structure is also its producer. The narrative frame is establisehd yet flexible; within a temporary and often collaborative creation network, the observer may witness and participate creative evolution across time.
