Yucef Merhi (born February 8, 1977) is a Venezuelan artist, poet and computer programmer based in New York.

Early life

Yucef Merhi was born in Caracas, Venezuela. He studied at Universidad Central de Venezuela, New School University, and holds a Master's in Interactive Telecommunications from New York University.

Art career

Merhi has produced a variety of works that engage electronic circuits, computers, video game systems, touch screens, and other devices in the presentation of his written words. One example is Poetic Clock, a machine that converts time into poetry, generating 86,400 different poems daily. The resulting artworks expand the limitations of language and the traditional context of poetry.[citation needed] His 2012 commissioned work for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Quetzalcoatl 2.0.1.2., was a web-based work that "aims to reveal the voice of Quetzalcoatl in the technological reality of 2012 A.D."
