Trash Like Poetic 2023 Read "RKM Interviews Dan Senn"	Odpad Jako Poetickż (see sample video) 4K Video and Sound by Dan Senn duration 3:45
Trash Like Poetic (2023) was filmed on July 31, 2023 in Watertown, WI under an apricot tree planted from seed. The sound track was developed from Lycon 27 one of 64 sound translations of the I Ching in sound. The subject matter was chosen haphazardly, given little thought beyond considering that the large chamber bubble wrap would likely rest lightly atop the soon to be clipped grass, and momentarily, there was little wind under this shady fruit tree. The title of the work, Trash Like Poetic, or  Odpad Jako Poetickż in Czech, uses a colloquialism, a common simile in both  the English and Czech languages.	Trash... has no meaning other than wordless poetry can be produced from most things. For it to be fully appreciated, the work must be seen-heard as tightly integrated intermedia gestures used to fully inflate its rhythmic anatomy—as in dance with music. These visual gestures move independently or are tightly bound with the sound forming a continuum of possibilities triggering/ignoring actions in the opposing medium—a complex, life mirroring algorithm of exchanged impetus. In this way the "trash" quickly loses its identity as such, garbage, and yet there is value (tension) unique in the feather-lightness of this material as it may at any moment be lost to a wind gust, this actually happening in the final frame. Venting On Stupkova was created soon after this work in Prague and has many similarities. DS 080223	Dan Senn (Prague-Watertown) is an intermedia artist working in music composition and production, kinetic sound sculpture, experimental and documentary film.
