1. From capacity to truncation: What can happens in 30 seconds of digital poetry

   This paper makes observations about digital poetry through thematic connections derived from a 1969 short story by Robert Coover (“The Elevator”) and a poetics statement written forty years later by critic Janez Strehovec (“The Poetics of Elevator Pitch”). Strehovec’s essay addresses poetry in the age of short attention spans, and in which compositional designs are mosaics, hybrid. Contemporary works are unstable, precarious, and relations between textual components have evolved. Digital poetry is a textual, meta-textual, linguistic, and sometimes non-linguistic practice requiring new forms of perception. Because our observational skills have changed, Strehovec proclaims the importance of first impressions, getting viewers excited and immediately involved with language. He promotes the notion of an “elevator pitch” as a temporal ideal for digital poetry—the idea that the poem, “can be delivered in the time of an elevator ride (e.g., thirty seconds or 100-150 words)”, “which hooks the reader/user within a very short temporal unit”—an idea perhaps more relevant to authors of projected works than those who invite their audience to participate.

2. On Condenstaion: how "Computer Aided Poetry" works

   "Cloud Computing" is a rather foggy notion, according to which the World Wide Web will be increasingly seen as a platform where not only information, but also different kinds of services and applications will become immediately available, as if coming out of an undifferentiated, nebular space. People will rely less on the software installed on their personal computers, and more on whatever is usable online.

3. A Cross-Medial Close Reading of Swedish Digital Poetry

   In the work with my thesis on digital poetry I aim to highlight the following three axes

   1) A theoretical reflection considering language in interaction with the visual and auditory modalities as well as an investigation of the relation between language and technical media, using theorists such as N. Katherine Hayles and Friedrich A. Kittler.

   2) An analytical, methodical approach, which investigates digital works of poetry and their intermedial relations and effects of meaning.

   3) Putting into perspective the historical concrete poetry and avant-garde movements – primarily from Scandinavia.

4. De la croissante invisibilité des poésies numériques en ligne dans la zone française

   Au milieu des années 90 le développement du web a suscité beaucoup d'espérance de la part des poètes expérimentaux, qu'ils y voient la possibilité d'une diffusion de leurs travaux ou qu'ils envisagent des formes créatives nouvelles tirant parti des spécificités du réseau; en 97-98 était publié un numéro spécial de la revue DOC(K)S consacré au web: "un notre web", complété par un CD contenant des oeuvres numériques trouvées en ligne. Il s'agit aujourd'hui de faire le point et sur les auteurs présents dans ce numéro, sur les sites qu'ils animaient alors, sur les transformations intervenues, et surtout sur l'enthousiasme utopique de ces années en se demandant quelle place, dans la zone française, occupent aujourd'hui les poésies numériques en ligne. Au final, l'enquête conduite, sur la base d'une recherche systématique, manifeste le peu de visibilité de ces travaux et tente d'en analyser les causes.

6. Portuguese Experimental Poetry: Revisited and Recreated

   Portuguese Experimental Poetry, claiming to be an avant-garde movement, arose in Lisbon in the mid 60’s. It got its name from the title of a magazine, Cadernos de Poesia Experimental, which became the herald of the movement. Two issues were published, the first in 1964 and the second in 1966, organized by António Aragão and Herberto Hélder. The first issue was presented as anthological, since it included texts not only of Portuguese poets and musicians but also Brazilian, French, Italian and English artists. It also had a section which included poets of several epochs and tendencies, such as Luis de Camões or Quirinus Kuhlmann, representing respectively the mannerist and baroque aesthetics of European poetry.

8. Finding No Object: A Traversal through Processes in Digital Poetry

   Although Mieke Bal’s “travelling concepts” (2002) framework is widely used, even if not always acknowledged, as a migration function within the humanities, arts and architecture, there is still a prevalence of researching a unique and unchangeable object. Thus, even if Bal calls for a critical object, which ought to be analyzed, meaning that a “theoretical object” entails different views on what a text or a work of art might signify, these approaches do not accurately perform when dealing with digital artworks. In fact, if one undertakes a critical position towards generative, time-based or distributed media artworks, one needs to adopt a reading and analytical perspective that disregards objects, but considers data, process(es), instantiations and manifestations. As Philippe Bootz et al. (2009) assert, our reception of digital literary works cannot comply with an objectual view, as the work/artifact is no longer a consistent and identifiable element, since it is constituted by several process(es) and variables, e.g.

9. Time-Lapse Reading as Critical Performance

   In moving texts, such as digital kinetic poetry, the reader-user might no longer control the duration of their reading, unlike the traditional and static nature of printed texts. The user deals with readable time versus executable time, the human time-line versus the machine time-line. By having an imposed and fixed number of milliseconds to perceive the text on the screen, the user might find themselves completing or imagining the unread text, following the dynamic forms with an imposed dynamic content. Yet, to understand the shifting reading patterns of digital poems, one has to consider another methods or tools that may complement traditional models. Therefore, performing a critical approach solely based in close reading methods might not accomplish a fully comprehensible reading of digital poetry. In this sense, following upon methods taken from other areas, e.g. time-lapse photography and R. Luke DuBois’s concept of “time-lapse phonography” (2011), I introduce the notion of time-lapse reading as a complementary layer to close reading.
