The Dreamlife of Letters
A Flash animation, based on a text by Rachel Blau DuPlessis, that attempts to explore the ground between classic concrete poetry, avant-garde feminist practice, and "ambient" poetics (that's really just plain fun to watch).

PO.EX '70-80: The Electronic Multimodal Repository
Portuguese experimental poetry of the 1970s and 1980s includes visual poetry, sound poetry, videopoetry, performance poetry, and computer poetry. Experimental literary objects, practices, and events often consist of an interaction between notational forms on paper and site-specific live performances. Thus the eventuality of literary meaning is dramatically foregrounded by turning the text into a script for an act whose performance co-constitutes the work. The aim of ‘PO.EX ‘70-’80: A Digital Archive of Portuguese Experimental Literature’ (http://po-ex.net/) is to represent this intermedia and performative textuality in an electronic database. The aggregation and marking up of this large multimodal corpus has material and interpretative implications which challenge our representations of experimental works and practices. Whether taking the form of facsimiles of books and paper collages, photographs of installations, videos of performances or emulations of early digital poems, digital remediation re-performs the works for the current techno-social context.

Acoustic and Visual Imagination in Poetry from the Neo_Avantgarde to New Media Poetry in Yugoslav and Post-Yugoslav Poetry
At the beginning of my text I will consider contemporary interpretations of the visual and acoustic aspects of poetry. The main references will be texts written by American poets, performers, artists, theoreticinas such as Charles Bernstein, Michael Davidson, and Johanna Drucker. Shortly, I will point to the history of these phenomena in the West. Special attention will be given to the concepts of plurivocality and plurality of visual projections in different kinds of experimental poetry.
In applying these concepts in considering Yugoslav Avant-Gardists: Franci Zagoričnik and OHO group (Slovenia), Vlado Martek (Croatian) and Katalin Ladik and Awin authors (Serbia) I will first discuss the status of experimental poetry in so called small cultures. Then I will show the range of experimentation in the work of the poets I have mentioned, who worked within the Yugoslav socialism and post-Yougoslav postsocialism.

Non-Translation as Poetic Experience
In my paper I present some points of view concerning strategies for experiencing electronic literature and art made in different languages, and suggest ways for dealing with language diversity in electronic literature. Although educated as a sociologist, I am not a researcher but an artist, and use some of my own works of concrete and digital poetry as a basis for my presentation. This includes two paper-based works of concrete poetry (audition for fenomener uten betegnelse and bokstavteppekatalogen), the screening of my first work of video–poetry LYMS (2009) and my latest film “when” (2011). Because of the nature of my works – and a lot of different works in the world of e-lit – I use the concepts literature and art in a broad sense.

Sonne Ordklip
"Netudstillingen SONNE ORDKLIP er delt op i 14 serier, hvoraf nogle er tematiske eftevanlige egensindigt encyklopædiske principper, mens andre mere direkte flugter langs et enkelt, gennemgående klip-ord, følgende står fast: DK-KULTUR-SOC, EGO-PSYK, GA, LITT, ZOO, ORD, BØ, BØRN, LIG, UD, SPROG, KUNST, MAD, LYRISK NATUR Det er tekster - eller hvad man nu skal kaldet det - der i deres insisterende overstadige leg med sprogets betydning og visualitet ikke kender deres lige i nyere dansk poesi. Vi skal helt tilbage til de gode, gamle dadaisters collager og montager - Kurt Schwitters’ f.eks. - for at finde konkurrencedygtige paralleller." - http://www.afsnitp.dk/aktuelt/10/sonneordklip.html

worm applepie for doehl
While concrete poetry in print combines linguistic and graphic qualities of words, in digital media time and interaction are two additional ways of expression. Words can appear, move, disappear, and they can do this all in reaction to the perceiver’s input. [...] If a still can progress into a movie, the worm of course can eat the apple as in Johannes Auer’s digital adaptation worm applepie for doehl.

Creative Practice and Experimental Method in Electronic Literature and Human Experimental Psychology
This article discusses issues arising from the relationship between practitioners in Electronic Literature and researchers in the field of Human Experimental Psychology, including the possible emergence of new communities that cross over this boundary. The introduction (1) considers the possible drivers of this process, including technology, interdisciplinarity and research funding policy, after first explaining the source of the article in an interdisciplinary project, Poetry Beyond Text: Vision, Text and Cognition (2009-11). This project involved literary critics, psychologists and creative artists and studied works that combine (poetic) text with images, including digital poetry, concrete poetry, artists’ books, visual poetry and poetry-photographic works. In section 2 we discuss the concept of the “experimental” in aesthetic and scientific contexts, identifying the relatively universal model of the subject constructed through experimental procedure in Psychology and contrasting it with the radical idea of the subject implied by avant-garde aesthetic practice.

Animated Concrete Poetry Between Stillness and Motion - a Close-Up on Ottar Ormstad's Oeuvre of Works
Throughout the last seven years, Ormstad experimented with both moving images and letters, conceived narratives, and styles that according to him reflect a continuum of the printed work he created in the 60’s. If the continuum also holds true for concrete poetry and poetry-films in general is a question addressed in my talk.
