Denmark’s Trine Kragelund (1979-) says Don't Leave the EUOIA
(European Union Of Imaginary Authors) or the EU.

| The bar stools of Kragelund and Schytte |
Trine Kragelund deposits work on a variety of platforms ('like a railway station pigeon', one critic responded). Her work,
or versions of it, exist equally as audio, film, video, either online as
programmable/interactive media or offline as site-specific installations with
quadraphonic sound and hologram icons in occupied and vacated space, which have
been exhibited around the globe, as well as framed on the page as codex-works.
She eschews the words poet and poetry (and seldom appears in public or
performs) and has won many literary and poetry awards. The work here, excerpted
from her on-going non-linear textual intervention NoNo, was partly (un)originally sculpted from ‘Google English’, in
her words. She lives in Christiania, Copenhagen,
where she currently devises post-digital poly-media work and co-habits with the
gipsy brewer Carl Schytte. She has recently been invited to collaborate with Sophie Poppmeier (see here).

If Britain votes to leave the EUOIA on 23
rd June,
Robert Sheppard, the British representative of British imaginary authors, will
have to be excluded from his own anthology,
EUOIA,
which he is conducting and collaboratively writing with other writers; at the
very least he will be moved to the Appendices with Frisland’s Hróbjartur
Ríkeyjarson af Dvala (whom he created with Eiríkur Örn Norðdahl). To find out
more or less about the EUOIA check the EUOIA website which is still live at
http://euoia.weebly.com, and there are
multiple posts on the subject of the EUOIA on this blog (use the keyword EUOIA
to see them all displayed, and then check).
