Poet vs. Google : Improv slam

Pip Thornton (Artist)

Research output: Non-textual formPerformance

Abstract

Mirroring the fluctuating value of words as they are auctioned off for Google adverts, this work invited poets/improvs to pitch themselves not only against each other, but against the algorithmic reckoning of linguistic capitalism in a series of knock-out live improv slams. Participants competed to create the most capital from improvised poems priced by Google and prompted by existing first lines. Commissioned by the Push the Boat Out International Poetry Festival, Edinburgh.
