A concrete-poetry engine built from the visual vocabulary of a single book.
Drawings, dingbats, letterforms and gestures from Bob Brown’s 1450–1950 become a library of vector “atoms.” An ensemble of autonomous performers draws from it, morphing from one atom to the next and drifting across the page, choreographed by a biosignal. The page becomes an instrument; the book becomes its sample bank.
Above is an early study: three performers, seven atoms. The full piece is being built as a native app that responds to an EEG headband.
