A EYE, After Johannes Itten” is a 12-part generative poem by literary artist and transhuman poet Sasha Stiles in which the work of famed Bauhaus color theorist Johannes Itten powers an algorithmic investigation of color and code. Color, like poetry, is often imbued with enigmatic qualities of beauty, yet successful compositions operate like software, deploying shades, tones, shadows, gradients, juxtapositions and complementary combinations to run complex psychological commands and arouse meaning. As with poetry, painterly color schemes use devices like pattern, repetition and rhythm; Itten’s innovations centered on creating what is essentially a programming language to facilitate greater understanding and effective use of color in aesthetic contexts.
