Listen to the breathing of the text as it appears and withdraws. Here kinetic poetry functions as a tempo that reveals how the self occupies space and how that space is reflected and altered by others. The white panes and the cursor s pulse act as two voices in constant dialogue negotiating margins, silences and interruptions. The plain digital interface becomes an instrument for thinking about the overlap of physical and virtual environments. Pay attention to the repeated gestures, the tiny delays and line shifts. Within those technical patterns you will sense a self that is always in motion, continually shaped by interference, conditions and other presences.

This installation uses the principles of kinetic poetry to investigate how Space and Self shape and reshape one another. Two vertical white panes sit against a dark field like open text windows engaged in dialogue, revealing words, blank space and the steady blink of a cursor. The minimal visual vocabulary and the use of a familiar digital interface make the work feel at once intimate and distanced.

Technically the piece follows rules of timing, pacing and spatial choreography: text appears and withdraws according to programmed tempos, pauses and repetitions that create a choreography of language. Those micro-movements, line breaks and shifts in placement act like sculptural operations, carving and eroding the boundaries between interior and exterior, between physical platforms and digital surfaces. The concept of platforms is read in two registers here, as both the physical screens or supports of the installation and as conceptual territories where selves negotiate with others.

This is a postgraduate project from 2023–2024 by Mazi Ioanna and retains an experimental, research-driven sensibility. It invites us to witness how the malleable self is constantly hetero-determined, how personal space is never fixed, and how small technical constraints and repetitions can disclose broader social and digital dynamics.
