Finding Poetry | 2012

The Invention of Zero

The prints in Finding Poetry are intensely mediated representations of poems by astrophysicist Rebecca Elson. Using the process described below, I search for each poem one word at a time on the Internet, and data about this search generates the intricate patterns that appear to smear across the surface as they draw out information about each line of poetry.
