Time Based Poetry? So I am going to be texting a short poem at 7 pm tonight to a stranger and some how that will be part of an art project- I love it!
Sorry I can't give you the phone number...

FYI PROJECT DESCRIPTION When the audience / public has assembled to attend the How Soon Is Now Panel Discussion and are seated with the panelists also seated and ready, I will briefly introduce this piece and ask the audience to commemorate the moment by texting a short phrase of love and affection to a designated phone number. A local computer in the VAG will automatically assemble the collected phrases into a poem of love in something close to real-time. Additional phrases added over time will continue the creation of the poem. The poem will be projected onto a giant screen in the rotunda as sentences are being texted in.
