About works / performance

Poetry puts experience into reading and speaking, focusing on the words themselves as a creative medium.
Words are usually regarded as just vehicles of information but poetry goes beyond this. In a poem, we understand not only the expressed meaning, but we are also aware of the sound and form and editing and so on. A poem is the experience of the words - the signs - as an original and interesting experience. In my work, I make poems with words, images and sound, with the computer allowing me to deal with these unique media as equivalent.
