Binary Poetry: ListEN (Performance)
"ListEN" is a binary poem by Delta poetica that redefines listening as an act beyond sound. Using the simple gesture of opening and closing the eyes—1 for open and 0 for closed—it explores how the eyes "listen" by absorbing visual cues and interpreting the world non-verbally. Observing expressions or body language becomes a form of listening that transcends hearing, suggesting that true listening engages all senses and embodies a receptive state of being.
The eyes also convey unspoken truths, revealing emotions and intentions that words cannot express. By linking silent visual dialogue with listening, the work emphasizes a deeper understanding rooted in intuition and empathy. "ListEN"invites reflection on the interconnectedness of perception, communication, and digital systems, bridging sensory and emotional realms in the pursuit of connection.
