From Visual to Digital Poetry in Japan
[German]
Despite the
relative absence of Japanese contributors to the
discourse of digital poetry, Friedrich W. Block
discusses some poetic examples of language art
within the digital media. Created between 1992 and
2002, these works prove once again that digital art
and poetry are dependent on concepts which have
developed in the aesthetic program of experimental
writing since the 1950s.

Concreativity
Between Regional and Global Computer Net Work
[German]
Peter Purg
explores different net-projects with respect to
their specific modes of inter- and intrapersonal
creativity. He finds important gradations and
synergies between direct (accompanied by the
machine) and indirect (mediated by the machine)
creativity.

Rhetorical Convergence [English]
Anders
Fagerjord presents a theoretical model of genre
relations in multimedia applying the four axes Mode
of Distribution (the balance of amount of material
and time between authoring and reading); Mode of
Restrictions (range and detail in space and time);
Mode of Acquisition (the reading process required
of the reader); and Mode of Signification (the
particular combination of sign systems).

Moving Text in
Avantgarde Poetry [English]
What can be
kinetic in the poetic text? How does the movement
take place? Where does it take place? What is the
result of the movement? What (or who) makes the
text move? Teemu Ikonen classifies types of
possible textual movement in poetry and traces the
development of these types in different media with
a special regard to Gary Hill's video art and
Eduardo Kac's holopoetry and multimedia art.

being produced by machines.
