[-empyre-] Renga - a collaboration by 11 artists

[Brandon Barr <barr@mail.rochester.edu>]

Since this digital project appropriates an ancient poetic form, I
thought that it might prove to be an interesting talking point in the
current discussion...

"Renga - a collaboration by 11 artists".
Based on the ancient Japanese verse form of the same
name which translates as "linked verse",
"Renga" involved 11 artists, 5 British, 5 US and one
from Mexico, taking turns to continue
a piece of work over a 2 month period.
Artists were encouraged simply to respond honestly to
the work so far and no requirement
of stylistic unity was placed upon them.
All contributions had to include a forward link and
the pieces are now linked in a circle.
It is possible to start anywhere in the sequence.
