Abstract

Creator of a writing-machine, Ana Hatherly’s intelligent hand was already pointing in the 60s towards the world of robotics. La Fée électricité foretells the future from early on. She was drawn to machine-inventions, both in art and in science. In ROBOT POET H2, the first 39 tisanes lead the way, portraying the child’s steps towards the robot. The path is like Genesis in reverse. For the poet and essayist, the future, linked to the concept of hope, has always been understood as a network constructed along Spinozan premises beginning in the present. The past and the future are made to co-exist in a vortex: as soon as a spiral ends, another one begins. The waste land is turned into a revelation.
