Synopsis

The Limited Fork show featuring POAMs: Products of Acts of Making in fulfillment of principles of Limited Fork Poetics: the study of interacting language systems, where the visual, sonic, tactile, and olfactory meet to form and reform (compelling) structures. Where focus on an intensely stabilizing area can still produce (forms of) sonnets that will maintain a particular form for only a limited period of time after which other structure(s) emerge, some of the emergence occurring across physical, sensory, and other dimensions.This podcast is the place where POAMS, products of acts of making, will evolve, for the idea (as well as the poams that come out of the idea) is dynamic, seeking ways to fulfill the need for expression that coincides with unfolding understandings of existence. At the end of one of the branching roots of LFP and at the tip of one of the branches is belief in the pleasure of making things, a pleasure increased by acts of making that understand and try to take advantage of the range of what is possible and available.BY FOCUSING ON INTERACTIONS, THE WHOLENESS OF THE ORGANISM IS EMPHASIZED. The LFP experiment will showcase successes and failures, for the dead ends, the branches that do not bear sweet fruit, edible fruit, or any fruit at all, nevertheless contribute meaningfully to the recognizable structure of the tree. Perhaps the beauty of the tree depends on the presence of some dead ends.Every week, there will be a visual or sonic episode (a branch) that reflects the current status of the ongoing study of interacting language systems. The LFP show will always present what is within its changing limits. Not (just) poems, but POAMS.To hear more music of Limited Fork, visit the Limited Fork Music podcast.

Episodes

  • Limited Fork Quality Control (CREW 2.0)

    07/12/2006 Duration: 25min

    A spoken poam for practitioners, dabbler or immersed, the curious and for the attendees --also for those who could not attend-- my CREW (Collaboratory for Reseach in Electronic Work) Seminar last week in the School of Information (north campus), a session during which an attendee in the remote West Hall (central campus)location asked me about the challenge of judging the quality of Limited Fork poams if there are no boundaries to what may achieve the status of poam. This audio poam comes from further consideration of the question and my response at the time. This is extended collaboration with the asker of the question. This audio poam also suggests ways to respond to work created outside the system of evaluation within which student forkers explore my Limited Fork learning opportunities. To the attendee whose name I don't know, thanks for asking. Thanks also to Mick and David for arranging my participation in CREW.

  • Why Fork? (Cheryl's Q, My A)

    01/12/2006 Duration: 24min

    An answer poam for Cheryl's question about why a fork is the instrument of this poetics of interacting language systems, why a fork is the tool of choice for making. An answer poam for Cheryl that is also for the participants of the CREW seminar (for whom this answer poam is also a ladder).

  • Forks & Ladders (an introductory audio map of LFP structure)

    09/11/2006 Duration: 18min

    This sonic poam is for Profjr!, and for any others curious about the basics of what happens when formal poetic structures are forked. Just a little bare-bones map of fork possibilities to consider when laboring through an act of making and hoping for multiples, but not necessarily identicals or even twins at all. If something's born on/in/over/under/through/with/navigating/zigzagging/climbing/opening/folding/unfolding [& so forth] the ladder, and you'd like to share it with me (and possibly other Limited Fork podcast subscribers), please send it to thyliasm@umich.edu. Thanks.
