REPETAE: Again, Again (2023)

Unique media-rich poem (2:45 mp4 with audio) co-authored by Sasha Stiles and her AI-powered alter ego, Technelegy – a custom text generator fine-tuned on Stiles’ writing and research materials. Part of Stiles’ acclaimed REPETAE series, which considers how meaning accrues through repetition. Performed and visualized by Stiles; original music by Kris Bones. AGAIN, AGAIN How many years have come and gone? How many loves have come and gone? Every time the first time. Every time the last. Even eternal isn’t infinite. Even the sun sets. Sometimes the past is still. Sometimes the past is, still. Life echoes life, yet Nothing is ever the same. Forget no one. Forget never. Sing, instead, the familiar refrain until you’re forever changed.
