Abstract
The Patch workshop explores creative / critical analyses that can map the collectively relevant topoi of semiosis in linguistic texts according to the three ecologies as articulated by Félix Guattari. As creative pedagogues both in service and critical of creative economics, we valourize a generative practice, one that results in successive creative readings, writings, visualizations, sonifications and audiovisual artifacts. The Patch is a human-computer procedural algorithm, engaging a series of recursive and recombinant processes that utilize several software programs, collaborative writing and performance practices to bridge analogue and digital literacies. A total of 80 teacher education students, graduate students and faculty, working with a single input text, provided the data reported in this paper.

Résumé
L’atelier Patch offre une exploration d’analyses créatives et critiques qui tracent les thèmes traditionnels de sémioses collectivement pertinents dans les textes linguistiques selon les trois écologies telles qu’articulées par Félix Guattari. En tant que pédagogues créatifs à la fois au service et critiques de l’économie créative, nous valorisons une pratique générative, qui entraine des lectures créatives, des écritures, des visualisations, des sonifications et des artefacts audiovisuels successifs. Le Patch est un algorithme procédural personne-machine, engageant une série de processus récursifs et recombinants qui utilisent plusieurs programmes logiciels et des pratiques d’écriture et de performance collaboratives pour faire le pont entre les littératies analogiques et numériques. Un total de 80 étudiants en formation à l’enseignement, étudiants diplômés et professeurs, travaillant avec un seul texte d’entrée ont fourni les données rapportées dans cet article.
