Poema

A poem is sometimes clear and colorful.
It can be sharp.
It can be oneiric.
Sometimes it is enigmatic and deep.

The starting point of this project is an investigation of typography. The construction of a visual poem without words. Where letters and other signs evoke movement, rhythm, sound, echo and silence. The work plays with processes of construction/deconstruction of characters, with the visibility or subtlety of typographic elements.

*'Poema' is part of the 'Visual Poetry' group show curated by Atelier (http://atelierart.io).

Each iteration has:
-> an alternative version in Portrait format, activated by the [p] key
-> a meta-poem, built from the features' metadata, accessible in the browser console, activated by the [F12] key

Features:
-> Encruzilhada (Crossroad) = 2 possibilities
-> 3 types of Reverberations
-> 6 types of Luminescences
-> 5 Color schemes
-> 14 Palettes

• The names of the palettes pay homage to poets and artists who deal with the visuality of writing in their work. 7 palettes honor women, 7 palettes honor men. Almost all from Latin America.

*Please note: there are two reservation lists in this project:
-> One for my supporters & anyone who has 4 or more editions from my previous projects
-> Another one for those who have one piece from any of my projects (this list is overallocated, which means there are more people on it than available slots, so: first come, first served).
*If you use more than one wallet, or the address on the reserve list is your vault, contact me via one of my social networks up to 12 hours before the drop.
