“It’s Not That, It’s Not That, It’s Not That”: Reading Digital Poetry
"I’m attracted to the openness of interpretation and creation in digital poetry. With such digital poems as Annie Abrahams “Being Human” and Maria Mencia’s “Birds Singing Other Birds Songs” it’s now commonplace to declare that we cannot say for sure whether these poems are poems, whether the poets are poets. We cannot even say who is poet and who is machine, who is reader and who is writer let alone what the poem means. We certainly cannot say how to judge these poems, where they fit in relation to literary studies. I should also say, though, that I dread this openness it at the same time as I’m attracted to it--this struggle to overcome an attachment to sure-footedness, to turn away from the safety of a backward-looking study of what’s been sanctioned as history, and emerge into new modes of relation."

Fiction and Interaction: How Clicking a Mouse Can Make You Part of a Fictional World
This PhD dissertation is about works in which the user is a character in a fictional world, and the interaction that such works allow. What happens when you become a character in the story you're reading?
The concept "ontological interaction" is proposed, which is a form of interaction where the user is included in the fictional world. Kendall Walton's concept of fictional worlds is explored in relation to electronic literature and digital art, and other narratological concepts are also examined, in addition to a general focus on the themes of force and control.

Computerpoesie: Studien zur Modifikation poetischer Texte durch den Computer
The conception and realisation of computerised poetry is based on a computer’s inherent qualities and characteristics. Resulting works are hybrid, multimedia and interactive texts comprising typeface, image and sound; they can neither be printed on paper nor viewed without a computer, or to be more precise, an electronic apparatus (holography, monitor, virtual reality). This study explores the historical origins of electronic poetry and, on the basis of the switch from paper to computer, analyses the significance these fundamental shifts have had on the aesthetic interaction of language and text: Typeface starts to move and in this way challenges the poetic production and our perception.
