1. Digital Poetics or On the Evolution of Experimental Media Poetry

   The academic and literature critical discussion on new media poetry or about digital texts swings to and fro, in method and conception between two poles: one is the 'work immanent' approach of structure description and classification, and the other the deduction of abstract media esthetics. At a tangent to this the communication on media, culture and media art has been more or less committed to the priority of technological reasoning since the nineties at the latest. The concern with technology remains a dilemma: Technology has to be taken into account when dealing with concrete structure analyses of works of digital poetry, but some traps lie in wait. Is the knowledge accounted for here really sufficient? I would say that few of those taking part in the discussion who do not actually work in the specific area artistically are capable of programming digital texts (the same may be said of some artists). Another problem is something I have casually termed a new techno-ontology: a ‘cold fascination’ for technological being (also of texts), which flares up briefly with each innovation pressing for the market in the respective field.

2. Words Made Flesh. Code, Culture, Imagination

   Executable code existed centuries before the invention of the computer in magic, Kabbalah, musical composition and experimental poetry. These practices are often neglected as a historical pretext of contemporary software culture and electronic arts. Above all, they link computations to a vast speculative imagination that encompasses art, language, technology, philosophy and religion. These speculations in turn inscribe themselves into the technology. Since even the most simple formalism requires symbols with which it can be expressed, and symbols have cultural connotations, any code is loaded with meaning. This booklet writes a small cultural history of imaginative computation, reconstructing both the obsessive persistence and contradictory mutations of the phantasm that symbols turn physical, and words are made flesh.

3. Rui Torres e Clarice Lispector: Poéticas Intermédia

   Este ensaio apresenta os pontos de convergência entre a ficcionista brasileira Clarice Lispector e o poeta português Rui Torres, tendo, enquanto corpus de análise, o poema hipermídia “Amor de Clarice” (2005), este último, construído a partir do conto “Amor”, da autora de Laços de Família (1960). Numa abordagem comparativista, tendo como enfoque o impacto da tecnologia sobre o cenário sociocultural da atualidade, busca-se, igualmente, analisar a relação autor-obra-leitor, com o advento das novas tecnologias da informação e do uso do computador enquanto máquina semiótica. As discussões apontam que, diante do texto clariceano, o escritor português promove uma releitura que dialoga criativamente com o original, expandindo sua carga semântica por meio de recursos sonoros, visuais e de animação. Sob a influência da rica tradição literária da Poesia Experimental Portuguesa, “Amor de Clarice” aposta no entrecruzamento da linguagem literária com os suportes midiáticos para romper com valores estéticos tradicionais, apontando novos paradigmas para a literatura luso-brasileira contemporânea.

5. Biomorphic Typography

   BioMorphic Typography is a new conception of writing and a morphing typeface driven by biofeedback. It enables users to become aware of their autonomic physiological functions while they type, in real-time. In doing so, BioMorphic Typography seeks to challenge longstanding Western notions about the relationship among the senses, representation, and technology.

6. Digital Revision

   In this analytical, unabashedly philosophical engagement with Alex Galloway’s “sneakily-titled” Laruelle Against the Digital, Martin Eve sides with the skeptics for whom “Laruelle proves a better diagnostician of epistemic illness than he is prescriber of a cure.”

7. Histories of the Future

   Steve Shaviro reviews Tomorrow Now by Bruce Sterling, a book that (for an eminent cyberpunk novelist) is perhaps too sane and sensible.
