Barrett Watten photo: Mark Scroggins Grand Piano Reading: Episode 6, November 27, 2022Barrett Watten: I divided every section of my entries in The Grand Piano into three areas: beginning, middle, and end; and correlated them with Bruno Latour’s concepts of actor, network, theory. Then I made a matrix as the structure of the reading as an event. Using aleatorical techniques such as a rolling a die, I made a sampling that would distribute the different categories across fifteen sections. In fact, I made thirty samples, but read only half of it—what you hear is matched by what you’re not going to hear, reserved for another time.
