Poetic Sadness is a series of exchanges, conversations, and confabulations with people who hold ambivalence. We actively seek to name what is unnamed, but we also want to rupture the language that is increasingly automated. This podcast starts with a premise that we — different we in different places —are technologically mediated. We will reveal such mediations through various areas of expertise and experience. Yet, this is not exclusively a theoretical pursuit. Poetic Sadness treats speech similar to the way many of us treat writing — as production of existential territories. Here we enter a space that is not yet defined, to see what it becomes through our encounters.
