Lateral Branches
Lateral branches is a text/image response to notions
of materiality and mediation concerning the cultivation of natural materials
in the production of paper based media. Using the names of trees commonly
found in the British Isles, Greenwood has utilised a systematic deranging
of the lexical insert, as found in dictionaries and horticultural guides,
in order to generate a textual poetics that oscillates between mediations
of a production process - from trees to paper, page to hypertext. Ordering,
classification and the naming of things are re-configured by Greenwood
in order to provide minimal narratives framed by the traced outlines of
trees. It is hoped that a lateral reading of the trees will provide alternative
narratives that mirror ideas of cross pollination and a hybridisation
of text and species. More info here: http://www.mediaalive.co.uk/ecopoetics/ |
