Informationen zum Autor C. T. Funkhouser is Associate Professor of Humanities at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and author of Technopoetry Rising: Essays and Works (forthcoming) and Selections 2.0, an eBook. Klappentext In exploring pioneering works of digital poetry, Funkhouser demonstrates how technological constraints that would seemingly limit the aesthetics of poetry have instead extended and enriched poetic discourse. As a history of early digital poetry and a record of an era that has passed, this study aspires both to influence poets working today and to highlight what the future of digital poetry may hold. Zusammenfassung Focusing on programs and experiments produced before the emergence of the World Wide Web in the mid-1990s! this title analyzes numerous landmark works of digital poetry to illustrate that the foundations of most advanced works are rooted in the rudimentary generative! visual! and interlinked productions of the genre's prehistoric period.
