//Forget insulation from the cold nagging existential doubt or refuge in stories comforting the General Intellect; a dark Forest of Things is foregrounded in exquisite_code, a radical constructivist experiment that hothoused a collaborative writing production. Eight international writers worked eight hours a day for five days generating text-prompts, text and edit-software in unrelenting micro-sessions to create a cadaverous exquisite_code life-novel . Text was produced in response to prompts conspired by the writers at the end of each session. But only after bespoke edit-software has wormed its way through it, cutting, chewing and spitting gobbets of their text into a dump from which the life-novel was elaborated. This edit-worm itself was interrogated and re-written in scheduled code writing sprints by the writers. At all times all participants were available for public scrutiny and interaction, and all writing was on live display whilst continuously extruded as hardcopy from line printers.//
