New Media Poetics: Contexts, Technotexts, and Theories

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.

描述

新媒體詩歌是在電腦上創作、傳播和閱讀的詩歌，存在於各種形式，從可以由“用戶”導航和/或重新排列的電子文件，到在線期刊和存檔中的動態、視覺和聲音材料，如UbuWeb、PennSound和電子詩歌中心。與主流印刷詩歌不同，新媒體詩歌假設人類與智能機器之間的協同作用。本卷中的文章和藝術家聲明探討了這種協同作用與過去詩歌實踐的連續性和斷裂，以及對未來的深遠影響。

通過將新媒體詩歌添加到超文本敘事、互動小說、電腦遊戲和其他數字藝術形式的研究中，《新媒體詩學》擴展了我們對計算機作為表達媒介的理解，展示了視覺引人注目、聽覺充沛和動態的作品，並追溯了新媒體詩歌通過印刷和聲音詩學、程序寫作、手勢抽象和概念藝術以及新興詩學形成的活躍社區的源流。
