The Song of Iota

The first LFP poam. Limited Fork Poetics was born in October 2004 when I watched the closing credits of a movie at the Quality 16 Cinema. It was a moment of convergence in which separate strands of knowing intertwined. I became fluent in the language of activity, the language of shifting structures, the language of impermanence. I became aware of more ways to respond to experience, and though the palette is heavier, I appreciate the enhanced options. There are infinite communities, and interactions within interactions. I was struck by the infinite multiple connections between things on every scale, the cosmic and the subatomic. The connections offer navigable paths for the ordering of experience, and these connections are also tethers so that I not get lost in this. "The Song of Iota" is offered as the first Limited Fork piece; prior to going to the Quality 16, I'd made nothing like it. Prior to the arrival of this understanding, I had no reason to make anything like "The Song of Iota." The revelation was immediately enabling; I made this piece that very weekend, and shared it with my students on Monday, so convinced I was of the usefulness (and the transforming quality) of the understanding. "The Song of Iota" contains my initial LFP insights, and as this was my entry understanding of the unifying goals of LFP, I hope that it supports similar gateway understanding for others.
