Visualizing Poetry and Text

v
Hypertext journal by John Chris Jones http://www.ellipsis.com/index.cgi
Hypertext Poetry or "cyber poetry" has been around for quite awhile on the net. It takes a variety of forms but it all uses the idea of hyper-linking text and images to related text and images offering us a non-linear pathway through the piece. Another example can be seen here: That Night by Steve Ersinghaus

Inflat-o-scape

I had to spend some time with this piece to really appreciate its nuanced slant on using technology to critique technology. Its another form of hyper-linking with a little more interactivity.

"Sky" is more of a video than an online interactive piece but its a good example of how the image begins to be part of the words and in effect the poetry. Born Magazine is an online video/animation archive from a variety of artists. Its worth a look http://www.bornmagazine.com/
