Experiments in Doing Different Things Differently—with poetry as the testing ground.
RUIN TO READ
A poem embedded in a physical surface that can only be revealed by damaging it. The trade-off is simple: participants get to discover a piece of art, but not without permanently altering, and eventually destroying, the object. The project demonstrates how meaningful progress often requires irreversible commitment—not careful preservation. More here.
Kevin’s World
An homage to 90’s nostalgia presented as a deteriorating desktop computer filled with corrupted files, half-written notes, and personal artifacts. Viewers navigate the system like an archeological site, piecing together a mystery from files, search histories, and password protected folders. The poem lives not in a single text, but in the act of exploration itself. Read more.
A poem applied invisibly to the sidewalk using a hydrophobic coating—only readable when it rains. The work transforms weather into a delivery mechanism, making timing and context inseparable from meaning. It asks what insights only appear when conditions change. Watch the reel.
WELCOME THE DOWNPOUR
A large group gathering designed around a single, non-negotiable constraint: no one is allowed to speak. By removing the most obvious tool for connection, the event forces participants to invent new ways of engaging—through movement, shared tasks, and attention. The experiment explores how constraints don’t limit creativity; they concentrate it. See how.
SILENT PARTY
A participatory experiment where a volunteer is sent on a surprise flight to an unknown destination with a poem to read mid-air. The piece collapses planning, chance, and commitment into a single moment. Meaning unfolds not just through words, but through surrendering control to the unexpected. See more.
Collaboration with Danielle BaskinFLIGHT ROULETTE
A poem created by physically removing language from a preexisting text, leaving only what insists on remaining. Meaning is shaped through subtraction rather than addition. The work treats erasure not as loss, but as a method for clarity. Experience it here. (4min)
