I finally got round to completing project prime, it’s a collaborative artwork based on four of my poems, Chapters I, II, III and IV. Though these are, perhaps, uninspiring names they were chosen to allow readers (in particular the collaborative artists involved with this work) to form their own interpretations and impressions of the poetry. Over the course of several weeks 44 people submitted a little information about themselves and their impressions of each of the pieces. Each person is represented in the artwork below by a coloured shape. Each shape’s centre is placed on the canvas according to their age, with older people towards the right, and the first people to collaborate nearer the bottom. The colour of the shape shows their preference towards each poem the stronger the primary colour the more they liked that poem; red for Chapter II, green for Chapter III and blue for Chapter IV. Chapter I has is preference shown by transparency, the faster a shape pulses the more it was liked by the person it represents. If you’re interested in the code I used to generate the work, you can see it in a gist on github — I hope you enjoy it!

In its final days now, Project Prime is my attempt at combining art, poetry and maths in a funky little collaborative weave. Hopefully, the result will be a collection of people’s opinions of my poetry in a dynamic visual form… I’m still to be convinced that it’ll work well though! I’ll probably end the work this weekend, and work on producing the final piece… stay tuned

Reinterpretation (Chapter I)

Cy Densham, my literary counterpart, is in the process of releasing a haiku in four parts.

This part, Chapter I, whilst not conforming to the traditional standard for haiku of 5,7,5 syllables it is in the same vein. Hopefully more will become apparent as the remaining chapters are released!
