Poetry in the time of online tools.


Once I've said that I never known any software or application that in it self could create art or some sort suggestive narrative.
Then I did try a new experiment today using googles online translation.
I'd written some sort of neo punk cross trash poetry in Danish.
That I fed into the translator and let in turn it into some form of English. Then back to Danish and then yet another turn to English. A third generation online translation, a translation without any reflective effort to transfer a desired meaning from one language to another.

Anyway I kind of like the brutality of the words and the way odd pictures invades my mind, out of nowhere other than a cold electron brain.

Here it is, I call it:

Through patches to survive
I breathe, exhausted
striped
anchored.
The stench from a store boot
breathing resistance
and hidden under a filtered tenderloin
background light is green.
discomfort
when I can again be a man?

Angry young man?

"You do not get it, do you?"

Variability is ready substitutes.
Nix of confusion Lies
tubers clusters with the wording and dissonance
scratchy
a fanfare of pride
Cut along the fence
and deprived of the awareness of our daily bread
hands sew earwigs in butter with wire.
Sweat!
Yes, I sweat.

Eventually, it was winter again

But strangely half and hollow
to see fresh snow transform into an Jesper Klein on the accelerator in the chest freezer.
A wood chipper
a murmur,
pointers car flips and cook,
words, which grows
believe my word on Thor, so great.

A combined hedgehog part of jellyfish arthritis and splat them off
Windshield wiper just could not take it anymore, man
And bread -
"Did you really broke?"
"Yes!"
"What do you eat?"

"No, dammit, what I mean is whole lot collapsed!"

Audio Visuals of the day. Category Music Video.

Trying not to repeat my self I stumbled over a kind of philosophical problem. By titling this post; "Audio Visuals of the day", I kind of limited myself from possible posting any more Videos or music today, didn't I? So the only thing to do was to create categories for Audio Visuals. It is a hard ship to be a blogger, right?

The music today is from New Zealand, and again inspired from my good colleague Mr. Dufty. Yes that is the "kiwi' one who sits right next to me -on the right side- in the office, and who always has either music bumping out of the loudspeakers or the noise of some obscure Rugby Union game. Both mostly to origin from down there, on the other side where the national symbol -a bird without wings- is named after a fruit, and there is more sheep than anything else.
Except fresh air.

One of the good things by working in an international environment is, that you get to know so many new things that you might never had encountered without, like for example this band; "The Datsuns". Get to know more by clicking here, or there I mean, click on the name.

Great song and video -audio visual- but I seriously do excuse the bad language, but think this is as well one of the characteristics of those "kiwies", the use of bad and foul language.

Election in North Korea.


I found this interesting and fairly well research blog about the secret nation of North Korea.
Why on earth do I want to put a link to a blog with that subject here? Because North Korea has always fascinated me because it is so isolated and therefor sort of unique in this world of conformism. Not coz I would like to live there, but a visit there would not be rejected from my side.
