Krista Young, SO SOFT ON ME (2018)
Media: punchcard, knitting machine, wool yarn
I punched-out a phrase, “SO SOFT ON ME” into a knitting machine punch-card and input it into my machine and knit a large, automatically repeating, knit piece by hand. See images 3 and 4 for the punch-card input, see image 5 for the knitting machine set-up mid-knit, see images 1 and 2 for the final result. (image 2 was actually my first try and it glitched so I re-knit it in red and pink).

Author's Note: The Poem “Red” is about a night where the color red is the only thing that comes to mind when I think back to that night. I searched for events that took place that night much like the visual of my roommate solving the red side to a rubix cube searches for completion. Missed and completed interaction and whole and broken connections. A color I hadn’t considered prevalent in my life until I wrote this poem and still kind of don’t. The poem has gone through many transformations since January where it was first written with a bright blue pen with red marker and color-pencil scribbled below it with the outline of a hanging light bulb as an visual remnant of that night. And it is possible it will go through many more if I chose to work with it again in the future.

- Author's Note: Though a physical machine with which I had a brief interaction is present in Last Rites , I feel that the apparatus which acts most on the poem is memory, if I can think of memory as a machine whose input is experience and output is selective impression. I found my memory was able to perform an unexpected function: to compare two occurrences from the same day and derive a correlation, in this case, the themes of interment and resurrection.

Author's Note: How to work with parameters? Parameters are both a limitation and a cliché that retrospectively works in your advantage. Formats, through specific parameters, allow indexing and mechanize the process of archiving, as is a bibliography. The qualities of such format overlap with the potentials of programability online, such is the result of Citation Machine. If a device that yields information and formats it to maximize its history, from alphabet to minimum components, the potential for poetics might live in those same constraints.
