wilfred ahrens
“Archive Thoughts on Several Notecards” is a found poetry project that documents poetic lines on 150 individual notecards. The poems that make up this archive were all constructed using a random sentence generator and represent a total of nearly 10,000 randomly generated lines. Digitally reconstructed to resemble traditional 3x5 notecards, the piece is meant to be displayed as an installation as a large grid.
