The Data Harvest

By Dominic Hand

The Data Harvest takes a high-wired scythe to our age of digital information and ecological crisis. Organisms and ecosystems 'get swiped off the map' by runaway climate change, while a 'superscalar connectogram' of AI, virtual reality, algorithms, surveillance networks, mechanization and marketization continuously spirals out of control. Hand's dramatic imagery, dynamic metaphors and pyrotechnical languages twist and turn through inventive maze-like forms. Directing its posthuman gaze beyond the 'endgame' of our 'fountainhead technocracy', The Data Harvest searches for 'some de-extinct world far from ours' where extraordinary entanglements of organic and artificial life are being born. This prophetic suite of innovative lyric poems stunningly records how contemporary technology is remaking the world in the shadow of the Anthropocene.
