Craig Dworkin's project for the Free Biennial is to establish what media theorist Friedrich Kittler calls "aufschriebesysteme," or "discourse networks." The texts of a series of poems, written especially for the Free Biennial, will be organized architecturally: each of the occupants in selected buildings will be called with one word of the poem and the number of their neighbor, who will in turn be called with another word and another number, and so on, matching the number of words in each poem to the number of occupants in each building.
