"A poem is sometimes clear and colorful.
It can be sharp.
It can be oneiric.
Sometimes it is enigmatic and deep."
One of the most interesting and aesthetically beautiful projects on Fx(hash): Poema, an investigation of typography, without words, but full of movements, sound, echo, rhythm, and depth, bears the signature of the Brazilian multidisciplinary artist Marcelo Terça-Nada.
Words deconstructed into letters, which rush, walk, dance. And outputs that summarize the stanza written by the artist above: a rapture in the form of a color palette, colors that invite you to dive into every random variation of the code proposed by the artist. I see modernist concretism, I see Rothko.
And the names that inspire Marcelo in his visual poetry are not insignificant: in his last interview with Pixel Symphony, for Gazette, he enumerates from Artur Bispo do Rosario to Mallarmé, from Pagu to Hugo Ball, but the list goes on. It's worth reading the great conversation in full.
Each iteration of Poema features two crossroad possibilities, three types of reverberations, six types of luminescences, five color schemes, and fourteen palettes, which pay homage to the artists who inspire Marcelo. Almost all, in this case, are from Latin America.
This richness of intertexts and navigated seas of inspiration results in a masterful work. Not for nothing, in a few hours, Poema was successfully a complete sale, sold out.
But for those who, like me, for various reasons, couldn't mint their iteration, a relief: next Tuesday, April 16th, the reservation list time expires and the project will be available for new collections. Who knows, it might be my (or your) turn.
