Poetic Operations

More about the book

Focusing on the intersection of digital media, art, and poetry, micha cárdenas explores trans of color strategies for safety and survival through a method called algorithmic analysis. By dissecting algorithms into their operational components, she reveals how trans and gender-non-conforming artists of color creatively rewrite these frameworks to combat violence and forge paths to liberation. Through analyses of various contemporary artists and their works, cárdenas offers insights into the complexities of identity, oppression, and the interplay of gender, sexuality, and race.
