00:48 - Why is this pretentious, or is it? Interpret this language the way you are doing so already. Producer requires receiver. Production requires convention of product. Input must be recognized as input, for input to become intake. Product requires validation. Validation requires convention. Convention in art cannot exist. Words make up the sentence, each one different. Receivers make up the meaning, each one different. Bad words are good words, as all are. Bad words. The dictionary is interpretation of the past and prediction of the future. Whose interpretation? Whose prediction?

01:39 Language happens, yet continues to. Knowledge is procedural, not static. Poetry remains at large. Formalizing convention disregards interpretation. Culture. If art does not exist, what are we taught at school? Whose past? Whose future? We watch the TV, but do not look at it. We read the text, but do not look at it. The river is never the same, so why do we still call it a river? The best poetry requires shared understanding of poetry. The best language requires shared understanding of language. Shared understanding of language requires shared understanding of the world. Whose world?

02:34 Defined poetry requires static input of poetry. At the implication and the indication of whose cultures is the public canon, art appears to be for artists, poetry for poets. Feed the seed, fire the canon. The artist and poet does not exist outside of the ego. Language may not be validated as poetry if it does not demonstrate convention. Fire from canon, or worse, input may not become intake. The code produced then remains that, code. We can only receive art, we cannot produce art. We know this because the poem can be read in two separate spaces and have two separate meanings.

03:31 Quantum superposition. The producer can also be the receiver, though each are separate agents. Quantum entanglement. Who wrote in your diary 10 years ago? Not you, but you 10 years ago. All projection is subjected to reception. All reception is subjected to time, space. The word river never addresses the same river twice. Who you were yesterday is who you were yesterday, not today. Language is the same. Production of a text requires reception. Reception requires context. Context is dependent on time, space, convention, and the misrepresentation of it is both constructive

04:20 and destructive to its innovation. No more asking what producer, what it means. The receiver is the artist, the poet. What is your inspiration for this piece? You have created its meaning already.
