2. Digital Arena: On 'New Directions in Digital Poetry' — Chris Funkhouser

   Synthetic in essence and brittle in terms of longevity, digital poetry’s fluid states prevent us from considering works as being plastic. Yet since they are never completely fixed, works of digital poetry always maintain plasticity in presentation on the WWW. They exist in a state of being molded, receiving shape, made to assume many forms – often seeking qualities that depict space and form so as to appear multi-dimensionally.

   C.T. Funkhouser’s lecture “On 'New Directions in Digital Poetry'” recounts the challenges and process of preparing a scholarly edition focusing on the pursuit of fully – and usefully – capturing the dynamics of this ever-changing genre. As poetry becomes a networked form, its poetics explodes and singular measurements of its pliancy resist finite definition. Recognizing plasticity as an aesthetic foundation establishes a valuable metaphor for generally qualifying the results of electronic writing to date, “On 'New Directions in Digital Poetry'” explicitly stems from Funkhouser’s experience teaching Electronic Literature courses at New Jersey Institute of Technology.
