School
for
Poetic
Computation
Interrogating Computational Approaches to Art is a class for examining the poetic computation we make beyond our intentions, to consider how personal, historical, and social realities as well as the nature of the medium of computation might impact how our work is consumed, how meaning is being derived and what outcomes it makes possible. Using techniques and concepts from the disciplines of literature, philosophy, HCI, and ethics we’ll work on creating a framework for raising and contemplating the aesthetic and ethical questions surrounding a computational art practice.

Neta Bomani is a community publisher. She is co-director of School for Poetic Computation—an experimental school convening art, computation, hardware, and critical theory to study the social and political conditions of technology and rehearse other ways of knowing, making, and living together—and co-director of Sojourners for Justice Press, an abolitionist Black feminist imprint of Haymarket Books behind the Black Zine Fair. Her work—including the moving image zine Dark Matter Objects—meditates on the entanglements of race, gender, computation, and power, tending to the ways technical systems organize perception, relation, and possibility while cultivating collective practices that co-create liberatory systems. Her work has been exhibited or collected by Brooklyn Museum, Barnard Zine Library, The Kitchen, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Metropolitan Museum of Art Library, and San Francisco Center for the Book. Neta received a graduate degree in Interactive Telecommunications from Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.
