Published widely.www.MichelleMoloneyKing.com Dylan King, a very young visual poet, and assistant publisher at Beir Bua Press. "Beginning in 1972 the British-born artist Harold Cohen began developing AARON, a computer programme that was designed to produce art autonomously. AARON, programmed with a basic set of rules and forms, began to create abstract drawings that became increasingly complex throughout the 1970's. Although seemingly without "mind", AARON began to develop an expressive language of abstract image. In Cartouche!, poet and artist Michelle Moloney King innovates on Cohen's basic concept by responding to the abstract visual poems created by an organic computer with pristine genetic programming, in this case the mind of her four-year-old son, Dylan. Recognising that a child's drawings and keyboard smatterings are expressions from the mindkitty of primitive ancestral consciousness, Michelle Moloney King answers them through surrealist automatic poems. The result is a dialogue that initiates a primal ekphrastic poetics, represents a new asemic conversation - shows us how to learn from the childmind, how to speak, how to think anew." - John W. Sexton, poet.
