Notes on the Voyage of Owl and Girl

Notes on the Voyage of Owl and Girl is a work of computer-generated fiction which conflates and confabulates characters, facts, and forms of narrative accounts of voyages into unknown seas undertaken over the past 2340 years. A somewhat laconic owl and a girl most serious, most adventurous, most determined voyage through a cartographic assemblage of fluid floating places – discontinuous surfaces pitted with points of departure, escape routes, lines of flight. In this performance the narrative, generative, and poetic voices of Owl and Girl are woven into one spoken script.
