1. Computer Poems

   "In his preface to the anthology Computer Poems (1973), Richard Bailey identifies four poetic tendencies that influenced the works included in the collection: "concrete poetry," "poetry of sound in verbal orchestrations," "imagistic poetry in the juxtaposition of the unfamiliar," and "haiku" (n.pag.). The poems in the anthology reasonably support his (somewhat) dated viewpoint, but there is a correspondence between poetry and digital poetry."

3. Concrete Poetry in Portugal Experimentalism and Intermediality

   Concrete poetry does not constitute an organized movement in Portugal. Instead, one must consider a range of contemporary Portuguese poetic experimentations achieved by several poets which come close, at a given point in time, to the aesthetics of concretism. This distinctive feature of the Portuguese context is outlined in this article in a comparative perspective, situating the poetics and politics of experimentalism within the international context of concrete poetry, but stressing specific aspects of the critical, historical and political Portuguese context. At the same time, the concrete tendency of experimental poetry points to the importance of literary and communication theories, as semiotics, information theory, and others provide background to understanding individual poems and manifestoes of the poets mentioned within. Finally, the article takes into consideration the fact that concrete poetry fits in larger poetic discourses, ultimately forcing the importance of poetic discourse and literary practices for a better understanding of our surrounding world and culture.

4. Meditationer omkring et o ('Meditations around an o')

   Den norske digter Ottar Ormstads svevedikt er i sagens natur ikke for fastholdere. "Fnugget svæver i luften" står der i Nudansk Ordbog under ordet svæve. Eksemplet er i selskab med ord som "danserinde", "smil", "uunderbygget påstand" og "vag". Hvordan læser man overhovedet digte, der svæver? Når fnugget ikke kan fanges, danserindens bevægelse aldrig fikseres, smilet ikke afkodes. Digte, der bliver ved med at svæve, kompletteres aldrig. Enhver læsning må derfor også kuldsejle. Ligesom digtene kuldsejler. Men alligevel fortsætter. Som foranderlige former, lyde og betydninger. Ud i alle retninger.

7. 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.

9. Generative Visual Renku: Poetic Multimedia Semantics with the GRIOT System

   A polymorphic poem (polypoem) is a generative digital artwork that is constructed differently upon each instantiation, but can be meaningfully constrained according to aspects such as theme, metaphor, affect, and discourse structure. The Generative Visual Renku project presents a new form of concrete polymorphic poetry inspired by Japanese renku poetry, iconicity of Chinese character forms, and generative models from contemporary art. Calligraphic iconic illustrations are conjoined by the GRIOT system into a fanciful topography articulating the nuanced interplay between organic (natural or hand-created) and modular (mass-produced or consumerist) artifacts that saturate our lives. GRIOT, which is a system for composing generative and interactive narrative and poetic works, is used to semantically constrain generated output both visually and conceptually. On the one hand, this project extends the GRIOT architecture's support for composing graphics and has resulted in new theory to provide cognitive and semiotic groundings for the extension.
