Ruch jako podstawa materializacji cyfrowej poezji konkretnej

Abstract

Concrete poetry is concerned purely with language. This poetry disregards syntax and meaning in order to explore the relationships between literal characters. In the 60’s Max Bense, a philosopher, theorist and the creator of concrete poetry, posited the idea of using the computer in art. Artists started to use the computer to generate digital concrete poetry. The digital version characterizes movement and interaction. The movement uncovers hidden layers, subtexts and reveals different correlations between literal characters. The movement visualizes the way of perceiving and understanding the work. Max Bense used the category of connection in order to describe the multilayers found in concrete poetry. I refer to this category in order to present kinetic digital concrete poetry. I will describe a variety of compositional strategies, which concentrates solely on language. I will highlight the different digital poetry genres in which the features of concrete poetry are realized.
