Product Description
Review
"A fine introduction to the topic, while the questions it raises make it a necessary text for advanced scholars as well." Sandy Baldwin American Book Review
Product Description
New media poetry--poetry composed, disseminated, and read on computers--exists in various configurations, from electronic documents that can be navigated and/or rearranged by their "users" to kinetic, visual, and sound materials through online journals and archives like UbuWeb, PennSound, and the Electronic Poetry Center. Unlike mainstream print poetry, which assumes a bounded, coherent, and self-conscious speaker, new media poetry assumes a synergy between human beings and intelligent machines. The essays and artist statements in this volume explore this synergy's continuities and breaks with past poetic practices, and its profound implications for the future.By adding new media poetry to the study of hypertext narrative, interactive fiction, computer games, and other digital art forms, New Media Poetics extends our understanding of the computer as an expressive medium, showcases works that are visually arresting, aurally charged, and dynamic, and traces the lineage of new media poetry through print and sound poetics, procedural writing, gestural abstraction and conceptual art, and activist communities formed by emergent poetics.Contributors:Giselle Beiguelman, John Cayley, Alan Filreis, Loss Pequeno Glazier, Alan Golding, Kenneth Goldsmith, N. Katherine Hayles, Cynthia Lawson, Jennifer Ley, Talan Memmott, Adalaide Morris, Carrie Noland, Marjorie Perloff, William Poundstone, Martin Spinelli, Stephanie Strickland, Brian Kim Stefans, Barrett Watten, Darren Wershler-Henry

Poetry, hardware, software, and code
22 Aug 2007
Format:Hardcover
New media poetry is a different order of writing. New media poetry relies on hardware, software, and code. With this collection of 17 essays, Morris and Swiss aim to extend the work of understanding the computer as an expressive medium by adding new media poetry to the study of hypertext narrative, interactive fiction, computer games, intermedia art, and other digital art forms. They showcase a series of examples of this kind of writing and they consider ways these examples "reconfigure the familiar field of poetry by bringing back into view the vital but marginalized lineages of print and sound poetics, procedural writing, gestural abstraction and conceptual art, and activist and or utopian communities formed by emergent poetics."
