  1. New Media Poetics: Contexts, Technotexts, and Theories

    New media poetry—poetry composed, disseminated, and read on computers—exists in various configurations, from electronic documents that can be navigated and/or rearranged by their "users" to kinetic, visual, and sound materials through online journals and archives like UbuWeb, PennSound, and the Electronic Poetry Center. Unlike mainstream print poetry, which assumes a bounded, coherent, and self-conscious speaker, new media poetry assumes a synergy between human beings and intelligent machines. The essays and artist statements in this volume explore this synergy's continuities and breaks with past poetic practices, and its profound implications for the future. By adding new media poetry to the study of hypertext narrative, interactive fiction, computer games, and other digital art forms, New Media Poetics extends our understanding of the computer as an expressive medium, showcases works that are visually arresting, aurally charged, and dynamic, and traces the lineage of new media poetry through print and sound poetics, procedural writing, gestural abstraction and conceptual art, and activist communities formed by emergent poetics.

  2. 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.

  4. WordHack Anthology: 2014-2019

    WordHack Anthology brings together projects and documentation presented during the first five years of WordHack, a monthly presentation series at Babycastles in NYC centered around the intersection of language and technology. WordHack is designed to be an open meeting space for people across disciplines to see what each other are working on and thinking about, from coders interested in the creative side, to writers interested in new forms writing can take, to game makers looking for new ways to play with words, to academics researching the newly possible.

  5. ReRites - Raw Output / Responses (paperback)

    ReRites is a project consisting of 12 poetry books (generated by a computer then edited by poet David Jhave Johnston) created between May 2017-18. Jhave produced one book of poetry per month, utilizing neural networks trained on a contemporary poetry corpus to generate source texts which were then edited into the ReRites poems. (The limited edition boxset) is a conceptual proof-of-concept about the impact of augmented creativity and human-machine symbiosis.

    This book contains 60 pages of poems selected from the over 4500 pages of ReRites poems;  some of the Raw Output generated by the computer; and 8 Response essays. 

    Introduced & edited by Stephanie Strickland with essays by Allison Parrish, Johanna Drucker, Kyle Booten, John Cayley, Lai-Tze Fan, Nick Montfort, Mairéad Byrne, Chris Funkhouser, and an author-note from David (Jhave) Johnston.
