Nepabunna
by Geniwate

Geniwate

Nepabunna uses remote sensing data from the Landsat 5 satellite as the starting point, then progresses to a mythopoeia of contemporary technology (using Australian Aboriginal themes) and finally cites string theory as an example of the nexus between science/beauty/truth. Poetry and digital media combine to examine this nexus.

Geniwate
Geniwate

Geniwate came to electronic poetry via print and performance poetry. Experiment with visual and audio in performance put her in a good position to make the leap to electronic literature in 1997. She was co-winner of the 1999 trAce-Alt-X International Hypertext Competition with <rice>. Since then she has been exploring science, technoculture and mythology. <Nepabunna> is an initial phase in an ongoing exploration of these themes.

Geniwate's sites are are visible through idaspoetics.com.au, and are available on CD-ROM.
