"You see, I need you.
I use poetry to teach people.
The world I created
Has been overrun by ignorant thinking
And I need poets to take the world back
And break the curse. "

"The roots of the typewriter are Augustan; its repetitive principle is the principle of the couplet enhanced by speed. The typewriter oracled a neoclassical futurism that emerged in the mid twentieth century as poeme concrète. This is part of that oracle."

Scholars are men.
These are the men that must step out
From the visionary landscape.

The following is not a dream... You walk by a desk, or you touch upon a desk surface by accident...and the desk starts to type itself. You walk by an ordinary stand-up lamp and a voice, half-human, half-machine, chants something almost comprehensible but not quite.

Piet Zwart Institute - Words Made Flesh

WORDS MADE FLESH
Code, Culture, Imagination
Florian Cramer

A b s t r a c t: Executable code existed centuries before the invention of the computer in magic, Kabbalah, musical composition and experimental poetry. These practices are often neglected as a historical pretext of contemporary software culture and electronic arts. Above all, they link computations to a vast speculative imagination that encompasses art, language, technology, philosophy and religion. These speculations in turn inscribe themselves into the technology. Since even the most simple formalism requires symbols with which it can be expressed, and symbols have cultural connotations, any code is loaded with meaning. This booklet writes a small cultural history of imaginative computation, reconstructing both the obsessive persistence and contradictory mutations of the phantasm that symbols turn physical, and words are made flesh.

No text is sacred. Nothing is ever for real. The earth shifts beneath our feet. We are walking in circles looking again and again at the same thing.
