'Growth of a Poet's Mind' is a practice-based design provocation that will investigate excitingpossibilities for the 'designer-as-intermediary', specifically the designer's role in co-facilitatingtrans-dimensional and trans-temporal interactions between the general public and historic literarytexts situated within the archives of the Wordsworth Trust.Focusing on William Wordsworth's epic poem, 'The Prelude' as a case study, the project will aimto expand the public's appreciation for the poet by communicating multiple histories presentwithin the texts, wandering between macro and micro-expressions of time-as-strata and being-asstrata - embedded political, cultural and philosophical materialities with the potential to beunpicked, resisted, re-embodied and reframed.These complexities will be addressed through the use of data poetics and translation (LorberKasunic, Sweetapple, Burdick, Lupi), literature (Lockheart, Hayles), eco-semiotics (Kull, Yang) andpataphysical experimentation in writing, computation and drawing practice (Jarry, Kentridge,Rosenberg, Ljubec). As participants look through the eyes of a poet who lived in communion withboth the outer landscape of nature as well as the inner landscape of the self, the project will alsoinvite them to join conversations that are situated in wider eco-critical and speculativediscourses, such as the Symbiocene (Albrecht).
