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.

Aufschreibesysteme 1800, 1900
Als Aufschreibesystem bezeichnet Kittler in seiner Medientheorie primär technische Einrichtungen, die dem Speichern von Daten dienen, aber auch „das Netzwerk von Techniken und Institutionen […], die einer gegebenen Kultur die Adressierung, Speicherung und Verarbeitung relevanter Daten erlauben“
Mediengenealogish unterscheidet Kittler dabei vor allem drei Phasen, die er als Aufschreibesysteme 1800 und 1900 bezeichnet. Die nachfolgende Phase, die man vielleicht als "Aufschreibesystem 2000" bezeichnen könnte, blieben bei Kittler ohne Namen.

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.
