Automapoems, 2023
Maurissa De La Mora, Ryan Beckemeyer
Publication, 12 x 9 in., 18 pp.
au · to · ma · po · et · ry
Generative work in which choices are made with attention given to the expression of a moment; automapoems collectively or as a genre of poetry.
embrace the machine
scream into the void again
accept this chaos


Automapoems are generative works of chance. Vehicles for a moment experienced any which way, again and again, made by choosing a simple path, over and over.

The algo stands as a consort, a carrier of intimate knowledge which we access passively for convenience and expedition.

Automapoems release the facets of ourselves that we hold tight. We give our personal device agency over what it shares. Images are processed through the same chain of digital effects. A decisive starting point sent into the ether. Predictive text is corralled within the parameters of a haiku. The only direction being the last decision that was made.
