From Oral Poetry to Tridimensional Poetry
Memory defines human existence both individually and collectively: it is necessary for the evolution of the person and society. The loss of memory leads to the physical and intellectual death of identity. In order to avoid and exorcise existential oblivion, mankind has developed systems to pass on memory and preserve it. One of the oldest of these is poetry that, thanks to its rhythm and rhyme, makes the precise memorizing of a text easier. Thus it effectively communicates the deeds of heroes as well as the prayers, ideals and sentiments that characterize human beings and their culture. Society, thanks also to the heritage of knowledge that has been passed down, continues to evolve and change rapidly: the new technologies transform art, modifying the codes of language and above all the inclusion and typology of the data that constitutes the collective memory. In the era of motion pictures poetry loses some of its evocative effect and its function for transmission. The visual memory is predominant because the brain assimilates information without making the effort of concentrating and decoding input, for example from the sound to the word or from the sign to the word.

Aspects of Experiencing Poetry in Digital Media
Digital poetry uses both the machine and natural language, therefore the experience of digital poetry always lives on the borders of artifice and art or appearance and essence, where the borders fades. The essay searches for a native experience of poetry within digital media which is not a translation, representation or Ecphrasis of an existing piece of poetry by focusing on inter-activity and programming that make the poet-programmer and reader-player to meet and be involved in a poem; The essay tries to reveal the limitations of the machine language in creating a digital poem by concentrating on the syntax as an open-source consciousness of the natural language and the non-open-source nature of operating systems and compilers in the instant of writing poetry as the consciousness of the machine.

E-Formes 2: Au risque du jeu
Présentation de l'éditeur :
Cet ouvrage est l'occasion d'une réflexion croisée de chercheurs et d'artistes de provenances très diversifiées, sur un domaine dont les productions brouillent les frontières entre les arts et les usages et échappent aux paradigmes conventionnels de l'analyse et de la critique.
En effet, pétries de nombres et modelées par les programmes informatiques, les " e-formes " s'actualisent néanmoins par des mots, des images et des sons. Ainsi, le plus souvent à la frontière entre les objets artistiques mis en ligne sur le Web et les objets de communication conçus pour lui, elles se réapproprient les formes traditionnelles, les incorporent dans leur propre médium et composent entre programmations et pratiques interactives.
Que l'on s'inquiète de leur fondement ludique, de leur légèreté inconséquente, de leurs faux-semblants, ou que l'on se réjouisse de leur sens parodique ou de leur génie poétique, il importe d'admettre que ces e-formes participent d'un paysage culturel encore flou que les textes ici réunis ont le mérite d'explorer et de commencer à clarifier.

Aesthetic Animism: Digital Poetry as Ontological Probe
Digital poetry is a multimedia hybrid-art-form, a subset of visual language fusing with digital technology, increasingly mediated by networks. Contemporary poems are animated interfaces; and they often utilize dynamic interactive typography superimposed over video, generative or 3D environments. A brief list of the disciplines involved: visual art, sound composition, literature, media studies, computer programming.
Multimedia-hybrid digital poetry means that the term ‘text’ is insufficient.
Future theorists will require terminology specific to the domain, I suggest:-TAV (text-audio-visual)
- TAVT (a tav in a 3D territory)
- TAVIT (an interactive tavt)Patricia Tomaszek - 04.07.2011 - 12:11

Mobilizing the Poli
A detailed review of Judd Morrissey and Mark Jeffery’s The Precession. Published July 14, 2011.
--
Judd Morrissey’s newest work, theprecession.org is a website that redefines the act of reading literature on the internet in order to draw attention to the ways that reading is changing in our world. The website truly functions as the new book, with chapters that organize his intentions within the project into discrete capitulations of his ideas. My paper is mostly an analysis of the centerpiece of the website, POLI, because of its time-based nature: it uses real-time data capture and provides an extended period of time for the reading of the piece itself. POLI is a significant piece of contemporary literature because of its consciousness becomes political comment through the uses of our various languages.

Digital poetry: Comparative textual performances in trans-medial spaces
This study extends work on notions of space and performance developed by media and poetry theorists. I particularly analyze how contemporary technologies re-define the writing space of digital poetry making by investigating the configuration and the function of this space in the writing of the digital poem. Thus, I employ David Jay Bolter's concept of "topographic" digital writing and propose the term "trans-medial" space to describe the computer space in which the digital poem exists, emerges, and is experienced. With origins in Italian Futurism, the literary avant-garde of the first half of twentieth century, digital poetry extends the creative repertoire of this experimental poetry tradition using computers in the composition, generation, or presentation of texts. Because these poems convey a perception of space as changeable and multiple (made of computer screen and code spaces), this "trans-medial" space is both self-transformative (forms itself as it self-transforms) and transforming (transforms what it contains).
