this is actually a new poem (as opposed to the previously posted ones which have all gone through a gauntlet of revision and rewriting.
enjoy!

I admire anyone who speaks in binary. Now,to find out what this means!

katy said...

it doesn't mean much, just a piece of my day in secret code (which is really all a poem is most of the time)

arch.memory said...

Katy, I love this! This, and your Morse code poem. It just makes me think of poetry in a whole new light!

arch.memory said...

This is just amazing, I keep thinking of these codes. And their architectural implications, especially. I always thought the generation of meaning in architecture is so arbitrary; in a way I always missed the link between the expressivity of language and the muteness of architecture. But now, this provides such an ingenious way of translating words into more systemtic configurations! This can be such a resource! The possibilities! For example, one can encode a building with perforations that are actually a poem in disguise. I think I am delirious!

katy said...

a.m i think you are too. and so must i be, considering that i completely get you, and it completely excites me! now i'll have to learn architecture! oh goodness, as if i knitting wasn't going to be enough of a challenge!!
