description
exquisite_code interrogates notions of read/run in a radical experiment hothousing a collaborative novel.
8/9 writers will work eight hours a day for five days. Text chunks will be produced, written over six minute sessions in response to a set of prompts generated by participants at the beginning of each day.
At the end of each six minutes bespoke and reconfigurable edit-software will worm through the chunks, adding to the text repository to elaborate the exquisite_code life novel. The edit-software is interrogated and re-written in scheduled code writing sprints by the participants.
Output will be on live display and hardcopy will continuously spit from line printers.
Publication of all code, prompts and text will be by way of POD in collaboration with Mute.
