Red Room Remains is an audio time capsule which stores 8 contemporary Australian poets’ visions of the poetic future. It will be released, online and in a public space, 23 years from now, in October 2030.
Each poet has contributed an original poem or series of statements about the state of poetry and language to the capsule, which is digitally archived. The capsule also features details about the everyday life and literary habits of each poet at the time of recording.
To accompany the audio capsule each poet has provided an object which will be stored in The Red Room to be opened in 2030, alongside the audio broadcasts.
The capsule is part of a project developed with The City of Sydney has which created eight poems for digital projection on The AMP Building, Circular Quay during Art & About 2 October 2007 – 21 October 2007.
These poems were jointly written by poets, selected by The Red Room Company, and students of 8 Sydney primary schools. These poems were illustrated by the students during a poetry workshop.
The eight poets were interviewed about their experiences in writing the collaborative poems, the content of which had to convey the children’s predictions of Sydney in 2030.
The audio interviews also contain recordings of the poem used in the digital projection.
