Project IP Poetry questions the statute of poetry and poets. On the one hand, as far as the construction of robots is concerned, it highlights the subjectivization of technological systems, those we provide of determinate human augmented characteristics artificially –memory, ability to speak and listen to each other-. On the other hand, with regards to the poetic constructions as a result, we take advantage of the virtual configuration of a collective human memory through the Internet Web and a poetics based on machinery and random. Using a proximity sensor the system detects the presence of the audience and sends a command to the robots to make them start to recite poems created for each event.
