We are pleased to publish Barcode Poems: reductive poetic forms and electronic literature by SSA Professional Member, Gerry Smith.
His essay explores electronic literature through experimental writing. Drawing on OuLiPo-inspired methods, QR and barcode systems, and codework, his practice examines how machine-readable forms move between communication, abstraction and failure, bringing together art, language and code.

The SSA essay programme intends to highlight the creative thinking of our members and to provide a platform for expressing and sharing our opinions on Art, Life and the World.
SSA Members are invited to submit essays for consideration by the SSA Essay Steering Group. This Group will look for essays containing original ideas and pertinent comments on the arts and beyond. You might, for example, like to write about your own art practice, the work of other artists you are familiar with, shows you have seen, or your musings on creative and cultural life.
