Distance Poem takes two articles released around the same time in 2018, merges and randomizes the words into a new text. One article was about the Apple keynote speech about how they had sold millions/billions of devices , the other is an investigative article about Shenzen China and how migrant workers flock to the city in search of work in the factories making these devices under sub par working conditions.

I was interested in the two conversations, essentially happening simultaneously but disconnected somehow via space but also ideologically.
