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.

The ppg256 Series of Minimal Poetry Generators
I discuss the four Perl poetry generators I have developed in the ppg256 series. My discussion of each program begins with the entire 256 characters of code and continues with an explication of this code, a description of aspects of my development process, and a discussion of how my thinking about computation and poetry developed during that process. In writing these programs, I came to understand more about the importance of framing to the reception of texts as poems, about how computational poetic concepts of part of speech might differ from established linguistic ones, about morphological and syntactical variability, and about how to usefully think about possible texts as being drawn from a probability distribution.

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.

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)Patricia Tomaszek - 04.07.2011 - 12:11

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.
