The viewer’s experience of ROOMMATES by David Surman and Ian Gouldstone is an argument for the often underrealized potential of two-person shows, writes Emily Farranto in Art Brine. The show is on display at Sibyl Gallery through Nov. 9. antigravitymagazine.com/column/art-b...

Taper #15 is out. Each issue contains tiny computational poems centered around a theme. The complete code must be under 2Kb. One of my pieces in the issue is an interactive erasure of Shakespeare's Sonnet 15, in which only half the poem can ever be visible at once.

This Taper issue is themed around the idea of midpoints and intersections, and other associations of the number 15. My second piece in the issue (again, under 2Kb!) is a Tarot Card reading in which the Devil card is repeatedly drawn and increasingly corrupted.

Taper #14: Sonnets is now out! I’m biased, but it’s an especially exciting issue with 28 diverse works of computational poetry (broadly), and, as always, they are all free software for you to study, share, and modify. You can sample a few in 5-10 minutes, this feed will wait! taper.badquar.to/14/

Latest issue of Taper, my first as part of the editorial board, is now live! Huge congrats to my fellow editors for bringing this collection to life.

In this issue you can find sonnets that shift, erase, ignite, sing and more.
