3. The Interactive Diagram Sentence: Hypertext as a Medium of Thought

   Consideration of my work in poetry over more than twenty-five years begins with an analysis of the difficulties of juxtaposition for the poet. A diagram syntax notation provides a method for juxtapositions to be included in larger structures; the accessibility of structural elements in a diagram allows for such constructions as internal relationships and feedback loops. Juxtaposition itself, with no sacrifice of intelligibility, is achieved through an interactive device called a simultaneity. Finally the interactive diagram sentence is explored as a vehicle for hypertext as a medium of thought: this is a truly “native” mode of entirely non-linear thought.

4. Poetic Machinations

   The article first recalls the historical evolution of computer poetry which, from Théo Lutz (1959) to alire (1989), evolves from experimentation to cultural entity. The emphasis is placed on the French evolution through its main expressions, which are the A.L.A.M.O., the first telematic review Art-Access the Les Immatériaux exhibition and the birth of L.A.I.R.E., a difference of viewpoints, of approaches and of the space given by the authors to computer poetry concerning the arts, the machine and the text. This progressive differentiation of focus questions approaches which were thought to be unchanging, regarding the notions of text, reader and author. This questioning started with the A.L.A.M.O. and progressed with L.A.I.R.E. Its description and the expression of the answers it proposes requires a new critical approach to the notion of text, more anchored in a communication pattern which has been developing since 1993 and whose present state is summed up in the third part. The article ends by demonstrating that the smooth running of alire is the full expression of what these new answers imply.

5. New Media Poetry: Theory and Strategies

   Going beyond the mere employment of new communication technologies in the production of poetic texts, new media poetry integrates characteristics of the new media in the theoretical basis of its poetics. This paper outlines this basis and shows how it affects poetic and verbal conventions, particularly with respect to the constitution of texts and the roles of author and reader, and with regard to its implications for our views on language. The author thus contends that the innovative force of new media poetry lies not in the communicative channels used (e.g., computers, video, holography) per se, but in the exploration of their ramifications for syntactic, semantic and pragmatic aspects of verbal/poetic communication in general. This view is further developed through a discussion of some writing strategies of new media poetry.

6. Videopoetry

   This paper is a theoretical approach to videopoetry. The concept of videopoetry as distinct from videoart came as the result of experimenting with video for creative and poetic production using verbal and nonverbal signs in 1968. It was not until 1985 that I had the opportunity to develop a new body of video work. Videopoetry soon became a new kind of poetry in its own right, with its own grammar and semantics. Thus videopoetry is a challenge for poets and readers as we are drifting away from Mallarmé’s galaxy and cannot escape the worldwide information sphere.

7. Potentialities of Literary Cybertext

   The application of cybertextual technologies to experimental poetics is the context for this brief exposition of my machine modulated literary work. I invoke theoretical issues of cybertext but these are not extensively explored. Instead, I raise issues crucial to the work described here — the role of (literary) text in cyberspace; silent reading in new visible language media; the confusions of computer as medium; the limitations of link-node hypertext; the shifting relationships between writer, reader and programmer; multi- and non-linear poetics; and the engagement of contemporary poetics with cybertext. The major part of the exposition then focuses on the work itself and certain of its future potentialities, with occasional reference to the more general, theoretical concerns.

8. Beyond Codexspace: Potentialities of Literary Cybertext

   First written and published in 1996, the unrevised form of this essay now comes across, in
   certain respects, as ancient history – a function of the notorious acceleration of cultural and
   media development since the explosive growth of the Web after 1994. And yet, it chiefly
   describes a productive engagement with writing in programmable and, latterly, networked
   media which dates back, in my own case, to the late 1970s, an all-too-human, rather than
   silicon-enhanced, historical context.
