My Poetic Collage is a book of poems by the Radioactive Blog creative director and Vrystaat Literature Festival assistant coordinator, Thuthukani Ndlovu. It offers a fascinating journey and insight to his mind and heart, as well as an incredible synergy between Literature, Digital Art, Augmented Reality (AR) and Ambisonics. 

The book cover is a direct reflection of the title, and speaks to most of the themes covered in the book. He self-published the book through Poetree Publications, and worked with the Artivive to develop the AR poems and images. Listen to the podcast below. 

Thuthukani uses AR to create new dimensions of art by linking classical with digital art, as well as literature and spoken word; this is not new to those who are familiar with some of the initiatives he hosts such as “Giving Poetry Wings”. The digital layers in the book open the doors to a whole new world of possibilities, while taking readers on a journey, giving a different dimension of some of the poems, or  complementing the poems with visuals and audio recordings. This book can be unlocked by any smartphone or tablet with the Artivive App, and offers an extended and emotional experience to Thuthukani’s work.
