1. Hyperlinking in 3D Interactive, Multimedia Performances

   Dene Grigar discusses ways in which hyperlinks are utilized in three-dimensional multimedia performance works that offer a narrative or poetic focus. In the new spaces of three-dimensional performance environments, hyperlinking can be incorporated as a performative element into the work and therefore always makes a purposeful act necessary for the performance to unfold. Grigar argues that hyperlinking may denote a change of scene, the progression of a poem’s instantiation or the evocation of musical notes comprising a composition.

2. Framing Locative Consciousness

   Francisco J. Ricardo analyzes the practices of layering narrative, image, and sound onto existing architecture and geography in locative art. Using many examples from the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century, he identifies an important conflict regarding aesthetic practices, their framings and conceptualizations; namely, the difference between “place” and “space.” Using this difference—i.e., the necessarily limited local conditions and the endless imagination intended in the architectural construction or installation—he shows us how and at what point a “locative narrative” emerges from the “locative consciousness”—or could emerge.

6. "No Preexistent World": On "Natural" and "Artificial" Forms of Poetry

   Peter Gendolla pursues a paradox accompanying the literary avant-garde from Romanticism to the most current electronic installations; namely, that they want to bring back the cold, dead culture into “natural” life and that they are doing this with the most advanced technological procedures. They become more and more “technical” with the impulse not only to dissolve the division of the genres but also to transfer art at least by way of literary means into “natural” forms of life; thus, they are continually developing new forms of aesthetic difference that have to be differentiated from either nature or culture.

7. How to Construct the Genre of Digital Poetry: A User Manual

   Friedrich W. Block looks at the systematic and historical conditions of the emergence of a genre like “digital poetry.” He argues that it has been necessary to communicate and spread schemes of invariance and identification to tie to- gether a high variety of artistic practice. For this purpose, concepts and names of genres have been connected with different forms of institutionalization. From this perspective, his essay considers the conceptual and cultural devel- opment of “digital poetry” as well as its relation to historical filiations and their transformation. In conclusion, his considerations lead to an abstract reflection of a more general concept of “poetry.”

9. Inner Workings: Code and Representations of Interiority in New Media Poetics

   'Inner Workings' addresses itself to the methods, properties and practices of writing systems, including human writing systems, whose very signifiers are programmed. What does programmed signification tell us about the inner human writing machine? John Cayley's essay participates in relevant metacritical and metapsychological discussions - reexamining Freud's Mystic Writing Pad in particular - and is specifically sited within the context of debates on code and codework in literal art. Rather than revealed interiority, code is the archive and guarantee of inner workings than reside beneath the complex surfaces of poetics in programmable media.
