Atari Poetry I a cinematic poem developed
through binary codes and assembler language, based on the classic video
game system Atari 2600. It runs on a RAM file storage cartridge that can
be upgraded and updated with other poems.
This work continues the exploration that I started
in 1985, employing the Atari console
to produce an art related experience and showing
new ways to write/program and exhibit poetry. Due to the important role
of Atari on the advance of many technological concepts and devices, the
use of the Atari transcends the meaning of nostalgia and retro, and turns
into a powerful icon of the era that we have been living for the past 25
years.
