Abstract

Sparked particularly by the poetic and the emergent data conversation analysis from an earlier Artizein: Arts and Teaching Journal article (Hauk & Kippen, 2020) piece, which discussed data from 2016, the author creates a contemporary “conversation” from visual and poetic material, in 2026, and imagines forward a further 10 years to 2036. The three-plated visual-poetic artworkings speak also back and forth across the verges of spacetimemattering, riding the dip and wave, tide and weave, of deeper time and meaning sensing, with visual and poetic material. The original article proposed collaborative workings with other researchers. This work imagines the artworkings and time beings transtemporally intersubjectively responding directly with each other, exploring jarring degenerative glimpses at the edge of things while also co-conceiving regenerative possibilities. Themes initiated from the original article that are explored via these triptychs include collaborations with: love, salt, seed, time, origin, interweave. Similar to the collaborative methodology proposed in the original article, the triptychs themselves creatively, transtemporally interrespond. They suggest systems-scale flows and connections, as they also open up portals for meta-response. In the process model of the original article published in 2020, the arts-based offerings explore fifth-phase sense-sensing. Overall, these experiments glance sideways across time and de/regeneration, surfing into polyphonic systems of possibility, in multispecies collaborations and artwonderings.
