This piece is part of a series of 5 poems, that are part of theVERSEverse project and always begin with the same sentence : « we are the trees ». GPT-3 algorithms were confronted to verses from aurèce vettier’s Elegia Machina (2021), intimate travel memories and description of scents, and fragments from J.L. Borges short stories. As the poems seem to reference each other, there is no beginning nor end of this meditative reflection on the fate of imaginary trees. Ref: AV-2021-U-162

‘Of Yellow’ responds to the French sonnet entitled ‘Voyelles’ by Arthur Rimbaud, in which the poet describes the ‘colours’ of the vowels: ‘A noir, E blanc, I rouge, U vert, O bleu: voyelles' — (i.e. A is black; E is white; I is red; U is green; O is blue). Christian Bök has created a polychromic translation of this work by the Symbolist sonneteer, replacing every vowel in the French sonnet, with a bar that corresponds to the colour of the vowel, reserving the colour ‘gray’ for all other glyphs and spaces (letters, periods, etc.), thus converting the poem itself into an abstract painting according to the schema described by Arthur Rimbaud.
