Traces of Unsaid. Digital poetry

The prizewinner of the competition
DAFES choice. June 2025 

Traces of Unsaid — interactive digital poetry collection that explores how meaning forms through movement, presence, and time. Works invite viewer to engage not just as a reader, but as a co-creator: text dissolves and reforms, reacts to gestures, and drifts. Rather than delivering fixed messages, these poems inhabit a space of potential, where meaning appears only for a moment.

Focus,           Pathways,                     Gravity,                               Echo —

Each installation begins with a metaphorical and open-ended question addressed to the neural network. Moving beyond the utilitarian prompt, these questions disrupt algorithmic logic, transforming the dialogue with the machine into a space of poetic exploration.

How long can you hold a word at your fingertips?

Focus. Interactive installation

Letters exist in disorder until the viewer creates a point of focus by bringing together their thumb and index finger. Around this point, the symbols begin to gather into words. This gesture becomes a metaphor for concentration: as soon as attention fades, the text falls apart once again.

Where do birds fly when the sky runs out? How much time does a snail carry on its back? What do fish stay silent about when their eyes meet?

Pathways. Video

The flight of birds, the drift of insects, the invisible currents of wind — their paths become writing. Words emerge at the intersection of motion and code, forming fleeting, unstable structures. Using object recognition and motion tracking, the installation translates these trajectories into text.

How do you know when a word has found its place?

Gravity. Interactive installation

Words exist as physical objects. Intersecting, colliding, and drawing each other in, they reshape poetic connections. The viewer becomes part of the system: by shifting their device and changing the viewing angle through the phone’s gyroscope, they reveal new structures and witness the formation of meaning.

Where does the question end and the answer begin?

Echo. Audio-reactive installation

Speech recognition and a language model enable the machine to communicate with the viewer through poetic associations in real time. Verses emerge and vanish in the moment of interaction, reflecting the ephemerality of the connections formed in the dialogue between human and machine.
