Aesthetics of digital poetry

Digital poetry demonstrates and reflects the use of language and symbol systems in computers and digital networks. Digital poetry thus refers to creative, experimental, playful, and also critical language art involving programming, multimedia, animation, interactivity, and internet communication. This book discusses how the concepts of text and poetry and of reception and authorship have changed. Comprising essays, manifestos, and detailed analyses by scholars and artists, it is a handbook on the aesthetics of digital poetry, which presents the current state of the discourse.
