1. 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.

2. Translating Digital Literature. The Example of “I’m simply saying”

   Translation Studies have become one of the central disciplines of the "humanities”. Recently, in the MA in Literature progaram where I am the Academic Director, we were working on Digital Poetry and I proposed that students translate a digital poem. I figured this could be a way to penetrate deeply into the meaning of the text, but also in the case of Digital Literature, to understand the dual nature of a digital text, its virtual materiality. I would like to share here a small but significant part of the process.

5. Poetic Ergodic Capture

   This paper comments on a number of videos the presenter has shown at the e-poetry festival 2011. Bootz presents the concepts of noematic and ergodic reading, as well as the idea of "ergodic capture."

7. 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)

8. 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.
