Tokyo is both the inspiration and the studio for both Simon's glitch art and Zoria's cyber[punk] poetry. We create on the move, oftentimes on the commute, with the excitement, immediacy and restlessness that only Tokyo can stir up, and because the nature of the city also limits time and space for creativity.

Produktbeschreibung
Tokyo is both the inspiration and the studio for both Simon's glitch art and Zoria's cyber[punk] poetry. We create on the move, oftentimes on the commute, with the excitement, immediacy and restlessness that only Tokyo can stir up, and because the nature of the city also limits time and space for creativity. It's a utopian/dystopian cocktail you can taste in the art and poetry of this book, both tackling themes including futurism, euphoria, belonging, hypercapitalism, alienation, devices and internet addiction. Although the art and the poetry were created separately, we soon converged and realized they complement each other. The glitch art looks the way Tokyo feels. It's shifting, chaotic, exciting and it's unfathomable. Simon digitally paints with deconstruction, disintegration, repetition, multiplication, stretching and reflection. The separation of spaces in the image and in the architecture opens up a fourth spatial dimension of sorts. The poems are glitchy too - with odd word and line placements, stretched rules of punctuation and grammar, neologisms, imagined linguistic shifts in the future, foreign languages sneaked in. One poem title is tucked at the bottom of the poem, while another poem is looped back and forth ("Are You Still Watching?" - alluding to binge watching media).
Autorenporträt
Zoria is a polyglot, polymath, poet, a neo-Tokyoite telling stories about the city that take a myriad of forms, from travelogues to experimental visual poems. Whenever possible, she will bend language to create a "wordigami" or grow a poetry bonsai. She has come up with the Poetry Archeology creative writing method for which she holds workshops and has been an early proponent of cyber(punk) and futuristic poetry. She is an award-winning translator, editor-in-chief of the literary journal [¿] and editor at Tokyo Poetry Journal. Zoria holds a Master's degree in English Literature and Translation, with postgraduate research studies in Japanese visual poetry from Tokyo University of Foreign Studies. Zoria's book of visual poetry and calligraphy titled "¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿" (Matica, 2015) or "Wordigami" in English depicts Japan through haiku-esque poems written in the shape of kanji characters. After moving to Tokyo, in 2017 she created her "Distilled Emotion: Neuromancer's Tokyo" exhibition (both in Tokyo and Skopje), experimenting with visual poetry made of punctuation and thematically exploring William Gibson's cyberpunk classic. In 2020 she first started publishing poems she labeled cyber[punk] and she gave a presentation on innovation and futurism in poetry at The Japan Writers Conference 2021.
