Future Mythologies: Odys

Odysseus longs to feel present in his journeys. Future Mythologies is a collaboration between Anne Spalter and Nathaniel Stern for theVERSEverse’s GenText series. It’s a series of 12 poems written in collaboration with text-based AIs, incorporated into videos produced with the help of text-to-image AI. Each explores a character from Greek mythology, with a sci-fi twist. Written and performed by Stern, sound and images by Spalter. @annespalter | https://annespalter.com/ @nathanielstern | https://nathanielstern.com/ @theVERSEverse | https://theverseverse.com/ *** I don’t fear the unknown. But I feel it. The whole picture is: as it were, as it will be, as it could be; it might be. What… what… what do we have? A body and mind and memory, as far as it goes. The future is the past made present in longing. Be-longing. Venturing into the beyond, Bodies, and Minds, and Memories, as far as they go.
