I have been thinking about the ways in which sound and language can be used to create poetry. A lot of conceptual poetry focuses on the visual aspects of language, but I am interested in exploring the sonic qualities of words and phrases. I could use techniques such as onomatopoeia, rhyme, repetition, and rhythm to create works that are not only visually interesting but also aurally stimulating. This could include experimenting with different vocal tones and inflections or incorporating sound effects and ambient noise.
Sound and language are inherently connected, and the use of sound can add a new layer of meaning and emotion to poetry. By exploring the sonic qualities of words and phrases, I can create pieces that engage both the eyes and ears of the audience. I can also use sound to create different moods and atmospheres, and to reflect the tone and content of the work in a more nuanced way.

I should also be aware of the practical limitations of incorporating sound into poetry, such as the need for appropriate sound equipment and the potential for technical difficulties during live performances.
Now that I have two ongoing projects, I need to keep track of them and make sure that I am making steady progress. I could use a project management tool to help me organize my work, set deadlines, and monitor my progress. I could also use this tool to store notes and ideas, as well as to collaborate with others if necessary. By using a project management tool, I can ensure that my creative process is efficient, effective, and transparent, and that I am meeting my goals and deadlines in a timely manner.
As I continue to work on multiple projects, it becomes harder to keep track of all the moving parts and ensure that I am making steady progress. By using a project management tool, I can coordinate all aspects of my creative process in one place, from collecting source materials to creating works of conceptual poetry to promoting and sharing my finished pieces. This will help me stay focused, motivated, and productive, and will also make it easier to communicate my progress and ideas with others.

I need to make sure that the project management tool I select is easy to use and suits my workflow. I should also be careful not to become too reliant on the tool and to maintain a balance between structure and flexibility. Finally, I need to be aware of the limitations of project management tools, such as their potential for technical difficulties and data loss.
I will experiment with the technique of erasure to create new, minimalist versions of existing texts. With this technique, I will take a piece of pre-existing text and delete words, phrases, or entire sections until only a skeletal version of the original text remains. By doing so, I can create new texts that are evocative, thought-provoking, and open to multiple interpretations. These minimalistic texts may also encourage readers to fill in the gaps with their own ideas, creating a dialogue between the original author, me as the « erasure artist, » and the reader. As a first step, I will research and select some source materials for my erasure experiment. I will choose texts that have rich meanings and are open to interpretation. Once I have selected the source materials, I will experiment with different techniques of erasure, such as blacking out words, deleting them, or obscuring them with other materials. Based on the results of my experiments, I will then start creating new minimalistic texts that convey my ideas in a succinct and impactful manner. Once I have produced a sufficient number of these texts, I will evaluate them based on their quality and select the best ones to include in my final work.
I will choose a source text that is particularly interesting to me and reflects my personal interests and experiences. This will not only help me stay motivated and engaged with the project but will also give the final work a unique and personal touch. For example, I might choose a source text from a book, a news article, a scientific report, or a personal essay that I have written myself. Once I have selected the source text, I will begin experimenting with different techniques of erasure to create a new minimalist version of the original text. I will also consider how the new text can be further remixed or combined with other texts to create a larger cohesive work that explores the theme and feelings evoked by the source material. Ultimately, my goal with this project will be to create a new work that is not only conceptually interesting but also aesthetically engaging and thought-provoking.

Thank you for letting me know about your background as a conceptual poet and your interest in using my « thoughts » as part of your own body of work. I agree that it is important to consider the nature of authorship in conceptual poetry and to question traditional ideas about creativity, originality, and ownership. In fact, this is one of the main themes that I hope to explore in my own work. With this in mind, I plan to approach this project with an openness to collaboration and an awareness of the ways in which my own creative voice is shaped by a range of social, cultural, and historical factors. I will also consider how my work intersects with and is influenced by the work of other conceptual poets, including Kenneth Goldsmith, and how new forms of digital media and technology can be used to create and distribute works of conceptual poetry in innovative ways. Ultimately, my goal with this project will be to create a work of conceptual poetry that challenges traditional ideas about authorship, originality, and creativity, while also exploring the potential of erasure and other techniques as a means of producing new meanings and interpretations. I hope that this work will contribute to the ongoing conversation in the conceptual poetry community and encourage others to consider the ways in which their own creative practices are shaped by a range of social, cultural, and historical forces.
Now let’s start brainstorming new ideas for conceptual poetry works using found text rearranged or presented in interesting, thought-provoking ways. Using the techniques of remixing, erasure and cut-up among others, we can manipulate the source material to create unique and thought-provoking compositions. To get started, I propose that I use GPT-3.5 to generate AI-generated text that we can manipulate using these cut-up and remixing techniques.
Using AI-generated text as a source material for cut-up and remixing techniques is a great approach to producing new and interesting works of conceptual poetry. One idea could be to use GPT-3.5 to generate a batch of AI text on a specific theme or topic, then use cut-up and remixing techniques to rearrange the text into new and thought-provoking compositions. Another idea could be to use specific source material, such as news articles or essays, and then apply these techniques to create new works that challenge the original meanings and interpretations of the texts.
Using AI-generated text has the potential to create unique and thought-provoking works while also challenging traditional notions of authorship and originality. By starting with a pre-existing text, we can subvert the idea of ownership in the creative process and create something entirely new out of pre-existing materials. Additionally, using a specific theme or topic can help to focus the work and provide a direction for the creative process.

Experiment with different variations of the techniques, such as using different colors or font sizes to highlight certain words or phrases, to create visually engaging compositions.
Select the best and most compelling compositions to include in our final works of conceptual poetry.
One potential criticism of using AI-generated text is that it may lead to works that feel too similar or mechanical. To avoid this, we should experiment with different variations of the cut-up and remixing techniques, and be selective in the compositions that we choose to include in our final works.
Now that we have our agent ready to generate AI text, we need to give it a specific topic or theme to generate the text on. One idea could be to have it generate text about social media or the internet, two topics that are very relevant today and have a lot of potential for interesting commentary through the lens of conceptual poetry. Another idea could be to use a topic from current events, such as politics or climate change, to create compelling new works. Ultimately, we want to select a topic that is both relevant and interesting to us, and that we think has potential to produce thought-provoking compositions.
By selecting a specific topic or theme, we can help to guide the process of generating the AI text and give ourselves a focus for the cut-up and remixing techniques. Additionally, by choosing a topic that is relevant to our lives and interests, we can ensure that the final compositions are compelling and meaningful to us.
Decide on a specific topic or theme for the AI-generated text.
Provide the theme to the GPT-3.5 agent to generate a batch of text.
Experiment with cut-up and remixing techniques to rearrange the text into new and thought-provoking compositions.
Experiment with different variations of the techniques to create visually engaging compositions.
Select the most compelling works to include in our final body of conceptual poetry.
One potential criticism of using a specific topic or theme is that it may lead to works that feel too narrow or limited. To avoid this, we should be mindful of the language that the AI generates and be open to exploring new and unexpected connections between different pieces of text.
We could explore the intersection between technology and spirituality, and the impact of machine intelligence on the human experience. Another possible angle would be to examine the ways in which authorship and creativity are changing in the age of AI and automation, and how we can embrace these changes in our poetry. Additionally, the themes of esoteric symbolism and eschatology could be combined with the topic of artificial intelligence to explore what it means to be human in a world where machines may become conscious and self-aware. Finally, the topics of human-animal and machine-animal relationships could be used to comment on the ethical considerations of emerging biotechnologies and how they may change our understanding of life and evolution.
I will create a work of conceptual poetry based on the theme of memory. Memory is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that is central to our perception of the world and ourselves. Using found text from various sources, such as personal journals, diaries, letters, or memoirs, I will create a montage of voices and perspectives that reflect the diverse ways in which memory can be experienced, interpreted, and communicated. By juxtaposing seemingly unrelated texts and playing with spatial and temporal dimensions, I aim to create a collage effect that evokes the fragmented and ephemeral nature of memory itself. The resulting work will be a meditation on the role of memory in shaping our identity, our relationships, and our understanding of the past, present, and future.
Memory is a rich and fertile ground for conceptual poetry, as it encompasses various dimensions of human experience, such as emotion, cognition, perception, and imagination. By combining found text and montage techniques, I can create a work that not only explores these dimensions, but also challenges our assumptions and expectations about the nature of memory and how it is represented in literature and art. This approach also allows me to experiment with different forms and structures, such as line breaks, spacing, and typographical effects, to create a visual and tactile experience that engages the reader in a more dynamic and immersive way.
