Description
The Wayward is an exploration into virtual life and theory. It uses tools from codework to traditional genre; much of its work is the result of programming intended to create systems of circulating texts. Think of The Wayward as a poetics of the imaginary, stumbling over the grounds of the real - constantly questioning linguistic referents and `meaning in general.' The work is a ground-breaking exploration of the roots and structures of online and offline life, in which language simultaneously explodes and implodes. Conversations among `emanents' dominate inconceivable landscapes; sexualities are constructed and deconstructed. There's not another work like it.
