>
> This digital poetry exhibition presents and reflects on the use of
> languages in computers and digital networks: hybrid texts at the
> interfaces
> of script, image and sound, together with their programming and coding.
> Digital poetry is a creative, experimental, playful and critical
> language
> art that uses interaction, multimedia, animation, programming and
> network
> communication. It is also a type of poetry whose very existence
> requires
> the participation of those attending the exhibition.
> The curator for the exhibition is Friedrich W. Block, in cooperation
> with
> Benjamin Meyer-Krahmer. The chezweitz scenography team developed a
> distinct
> visual and spatial identity for p0es1s. Digitale Poesie.
>
> Many of the artists will attend the opening on Thursday, 12 February,
> at
> 7:00 pm in the special exhibition hall at the Kulturforum Potsdamer

> "Digital Poetry" - Generic Term or Curatorial Label?
> Does a generic term or a term used for orientation like "Digital
> Poetry"
> carry any aesthetic value, can artists following an entirely individual
> agenda identify themselves with it? Or is it merely a label for
> propaganda
> that enables curators to fit art into categories?

> The Function of Language in Media Art
> What role does language play in new media practice? Is it just one
> element
> amongst other different media being used - particularly with the
> computer
> as the integrative medium? Or is language of superior importance,
> especially with respect to the the basal languages of the computer? How
> does the use of language in media art relate to the tradition of
> language
> art or "the language of art"?

> Screen Text vs. Source Text: The question of an "Adequate" Aesthetics
> of
> the Media
> How can digital poetry as language art in digital media deal with the
> demands to represent and reflect the specific mediality: by working in
> a
> "radical" or "concrete" way with programming languages and the codes
> they
> are based upon; or by focussing on an aesthetic of the screen which
> takes
> the perceptions and activities of the user as its point of departure?
