About
Digital poetry is an academic concept and research field concerned with poetic works that fundamentally engage with digital technologies in their creation, form, and/or dissemination. It investigates the theoretical, aesthetic, technical, historical, and cultural dimensions of born-digital poems, remixes, procedural texts, and works incorporating multimedia, code, and interactivity. Key characteristics studied include the role of computation, networked environments, dynamic or non-linear structures, multimedia integration, and the relationship between code, text, and user interaction. Its significance lies in challenging and expanding traditional definitions of poetry and textuality, exploring new modes of literary expression enabled by digital media, and serving as a crucial area within digital humanities and media studies.
