Yucef Merhi (born February 8, 1977) is a Venezuelan artist, poet and computer programmer based in New York.[1]
Early life[]
Yucef Merhi was born in Caracas, Venezuela. He studied at Universidad Central de Venezuela, New School University,[1] and holds a Master's in Interactive Telecommunications from New York University.[2]
Art career[]
Merhi has produced a variety of works that engage electronic circuits, computers, video game systems,[3] touch screens, and other devices in the presentation of his written words. One example is Poetic Clock, a machine that converts time into poetry, generating 86,400 different poems daily.[4] The resulting artworks expand the limitations of language and the traditional context of poetry.[citation needed] His 2012 commissioned work for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Quetzalcoatl 2.0.1.2., was a web-based work that "aims to reveal the voice of Quetzalcoatl in the technological reality of 2012 A.D."[5]
