POEMA entre pixel e programa /

A great part of texts that permeate contemporary life are almost invariably not seen by human eyes. They are texts made for machines to read. Texts that record information, from the minuscule “pictorial element” (PIXEL), which form the mosaics that shine on the screens of monitors and electronic panels, to the complex set of instructions and procedures that allow us to generate and manipulate information (PROGRAM). The exhibition asks itself: what does the poet (“he-that-makes”, from the Greek POIEIN = to make, to produce) do in a context where frontiers between letters and numbers, images and sounds, etceteras and etceteras, are increasingly porous?
