Media Poetry / Eine internationale Gedichtesammlung, herausgegeben von Eduardo Kac

Frisch erschienen bei intellect books ist das englischsprachige Buch „Media Poetry“. Dieser Sammelband enthält eigentlich nur Texte, viele neue Gedichte rund um Medien.

Aus dem Klappentext:
The first international anthology to document a radically new poetry which takes language beyond the confines of the printed page into a non-linear world of digital interactivity and hyperlinkage.

The work of the poets discussed in this book challenges even the innovations of experimental poetics. It embraces new technologies to explore a new syntax made of linear and non-linear animation, hyperlinkage, interactivity, real-time text generation, spatiotemporal discontinuities, self-similarity, synthetic spaces, immateriality, diagrammatic relations, visual tempo, multiple simultaneities, and many other innovative procedures.

This new media poetry, although defined within the field of experimental poetics, departs radically from the avant-garde movements of the first half of the century, and the print-based approaches of the second half. Through an embrace of the vast possibilities made available through new media, the artists in this anthology have become the poetic pioneers for the next millennium.

'Kac's anthology displays a range of approaches toward literacy dynamism in Europe and the Americas across four decades.' - Chris Funkhouser, Electronic Book Review
