Electronic Poetry Once Again
In class, we watched, read, or experienced, depending on the audience, a handful of electronic poetry. Out of the three we discussed, only one, did I understand the intent and meaning. The other poems if I had to describe how they are poetic, I would just be making things up because I could not find the art within the creations. With the poem, Faith, I understood how the author was describing faith, leaps of faith, how logic can not affect it, and so on…I thoroughly enjoyed this one because I could relate to it some how. Unfortunately, I do not perfer the others, Marsha and Storyland. Marsha’s web pages seemed very twisted and dark, with the designer being verbally attacked by either a hacker or “angels” depending on how you perceived it. Storyland reminded me of Mad Libs and Manic dotes. After I realized that a program was just generating these stories or poems, it left a bad taste in my mouth, because it was the artwork of a computer program not a person per say.
