Immanent Terrain: Fluxus Movement as Precursor to Relational Aesthetics
This short article describes the main features of the Fluxus art movement.
“Defining” Concrete Poetry
A useful and interesting point about concrete poetry. The author describes "pure" concrete poetry where "the spatial element is essential to the communication, not merely something additional". The visual examples show poems where the spatial elements of the poems contribute to the meaning, and also where they seem to obscure it.
Experimental Fiction / Poetry: Lily Hoang's CHANGING
"Changing", a 2009 Pen America Award Winner, is based on the ancient Chinese uber-text I-Ching or Book of Changes. The book is composed of 64 hexagrams, each one with six stacked horizontal lines. Some lines are composed of just one dash (—) and some are two (--). The unbroken lines are associated with yang, the creative principle, and the broken with yin, the receptive principle.
Jacket 23 - Marjorie Perloff - The Oulipo Factor
Poetry culture is increasingly indifferent to the role of sound in poetry. Indeed, the free verse, now dominant around the world, has become, with notable exceptions, little more than linear prose, arbitrarily divided into line-lengths. But there are two sites where sound comes once again to the foreground of poetry.

Typographica Exhibition
W+K Exp brought the legendary Typographica -- the first exhibition of the eponymous graphic design journal -- to India. Simultaneously, it also celebrated 50 years of Seminar magazine, a monthly founded by Raj and Romesh Thapar in September 1959. The exhibition attracted hardcore type-lovers and graphic designers. It also served as a valuable introduction to high-quality graphic design for those who know little about the form.
The avant garde is dead.
In fashion, innovative ideas start in the realm of high art, and reverberate into popular forms. In literature, there's nothing like that going on.

Digital Poetics by Loss Pequeño Glazier -- Introduction (Excerpt)
Digital Poetics is an introduction to the making of the new digital poetries. From code to code, whether a Web page in Moscow, a speaking clock in Kentish Town, a computer-generated Buffalo, or a bot hiding in an archive in Melbourne, the making of poetry has established itself on a matrix of new shores. From hypertext through visual/kinetic text to writing in networked and programmable media, there is a tangible feel of arrival in the spelled air. New possibilities stand out as intriguing while technologies that once seemed futuristic now have all the timeliness of World War II bunkers overlooking an unperturbed Pacific. But arrival where? It is argued here that this is not arrival at a place, but at an awareness of the conditions of texts.
