reflections on e-poetry 2009

Returned from Barcelona last night. it was a great experience to meet with other writers / designers / video artists / academics who are concerned with the intersection of text, language and technology. although disciplinary boundaries for digital poetics are hard to define (perhaps for the best), the festival content suggested that work in this field can contribute to many channels of semiotic and literary theory. Viewing works from around the world, shared intentions begin to arise. The most compelling works had a performative element that brought the author and the reader together, through the machine, rather than naming the machine explicitly as author.

Very much enjoyed work by Rui Torres (http://telepoesis.net/), Eugenio Tisselli (http://www.motorhueso.net/), and a collaboration between Ricardo Dominguez (http://www.thing.net/~rdom/ecd/ecd.html) and Amy Sara Carroll (http://www.uiowa.edu/~iareview/tirweb/feature/carroll/interview.html) called THE PARTICKL-E (illuminated nanoscripts and gestures for iPod nanos and the streets).

More detailed notes to come!

you, on a train
Out of work late. Nothing unusual; it doesn’t even hurt. You are fond of leaving work long after dark, as you prefer overexertion to sluggishness. You take the red line East with a bag of corn chips in your lap. Nothing unusual. Lately. Lovely. Luckily You. You have a day’s worth of ambient noise stuck [...]
