White Horse
Polina Lobanova, Jake Dow-Smith, and Taper.
Dear reader
I wrote a short text about the many internets. It starts like this:
A friend practices phone-swapping to look at other people's social feeds. It is not a psychological quest for him; it is not an interrogation of the algorithm, the digital doppelgänger trained by the company to keep people hooked and sell ads. He doesn't aim to surface the secrets of the other person. What he is looking for is life outside of his own being.
My friend’s name is D.
You can find the rest of the text on screenwalks.com/folders in Indexification’s folder, where it is uploaded as an HTML file under my name. If you go through the trouble,I recommend you open it in Palm, the composer I used to write the text.
With care
Kristoffer

Field notes
1.
Taper #12.
Taper is an online magazine for small computational pieces. The latest edition features contributions from many of my favorite web people, including Javier Arce, Todd Anderson, Spencer Chang, Vidya Giri, Jackie Liu, and Katherine Yang.

»Trying to write a text about poetic web made me realize that there is not yet a language known to me in which I could possibly unfold it.«
I follow Polina Lobanova’s work closely. Their latest site spirals around the poetic web with a bag full of top-tier references and lightweight formats.
4.
A convivial interview with Jake Dow-Smith about websites, abundance, friction, locality, functionality, and the relevance of publishing something online.
5.
It’s another good week for the Poetic Web Calendar (fx. talks by Chia Amisola and Everest Pipkin) and Call for Participation (fx. submissions to Taper #13 and Cursor Mag).
