I, You, We, created by Dan Waber and Jason Pimble, is an exploration of the infinite patterns that emerge between numerous verbs, I, You, and We. While the grid of words rotates in all directions the viewer is able to see the fleeting phrases between I, You, and We. Waber gives his own explanation of his poem stating, “The viewer is inside a kind of cube, an infinite cube that can be rotated endlessly without returning to the same view. Between I and you and we flows a river of verbs”. Like most of Waber's work, the viewer is also allowed some interaction by having the option to move the cube in any direction they want by using the cursor to drag the cube, choosing their own patterns between the words and creating a unique experience for themselves. Hours can be spent trying to find meaning in the ever changing phrases and this is what fascinates me the most about this piece. It appears that there is a definite pattern somewhere but it is almost impossible to locate, creating a challenge to the viewer to find their own meaning in their point of view, as are the challenges in most of Waber’s poems.
