1. 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.

8. On Hypertext Criticism

   This hypertextual essay is from a special, interlinked issue of JoDi on Hypertext Criticism. The editors description is as follows:

   Larsen contributes seven nodes that consider the main problems for hypertext to earn a "normality" status in relation to other media, discuss the technological requirements that set it apart from mainstream literature, the lack of a business model, and the necessity for hypertext to come out of the academic ghetto. She also stresses the importance of community building, and explains the function of writing groups and conferences in the development of readers and writers.

   The nodes are:

   • Getting Your Hands On It
     Criticism: Honing the Craft
     Where Are the Electronic Classrooms?
     Grassroots Support Literature
     The Economic Mirror
     What Are We Asking For?
     You Can Get There From Here

9. New Criticism Necessary? and Points for Hypermedia Critics

   From editors' description: Marsh's two nodes for this issue explore how criticism of hypertext and new media might differ from criticism of print literature. In New Criticism Necessary? he considers the question of 'newness' with regard to both current practice in new media and its related criticism and theory. In Points for Hypermedia Critics he proposes three 'axes' of analysis along which a formal study of new media might proceed, suggesting that hypertext/media is at once formative, performative and reformative in design and function.
