Early life

[edit]

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

[edit]

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]

One thought on “Cannabaceae

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
