This site was created by Omayeli Arenyeka for her workshop Extending Poetry Through Computation at the School Of Poetic Computation. It was previously taught at IF/THEN.
The idea is that "Words, phrases, sentences and lines have their own tactility and affordances." These affordances, or invitations can translate to computational qualities. There can be areas in a poem or a piece of text that welcome touch or, where the poem jumps off the page or goes on forever: computational openings.
In this workshop, participants close read poems to look for computational openings: places where the poem may invite interaction/touch, where it could move or grow, where it could curl up, places that map to the possibilities inherent in computation. And work on extending their own poems through computation.
The below sites are exercises, resources, references, and examples of the concepts we will be exploring in the workshop.
Each of these has a "Play with this code" link on the page itself, letting you edit its HTML/CSS/JS live in the browser, no GitHub needed.
You can also view (can't edit) the code on the Neocities directory.
