LANGUAGE TO COVER A WALL:
Visual Poetry Through Its Changing Media
November 17, 2011- February 18, 2012
The Digital Poetry component of Language to Cover a Wall, curated by
Loss Pequeño Glazier, extends the traditions of visual poetry into
present day digital poetics with an emphasis on visual, sound, video,
interactive, and computational language practice, investigating digital
media materiality through a variety of platforms. This part of the
exhibition shows new works alongside rarely exhibited historical works
crucial to the field, and presents an international range of digital
poetry.
This is a major digital poetry exhibition (2nd floor) perhaps the
largest and longest-running to date in a major U.S. museum. It is
presented by E-Poetry, the Electronic Poetry Center (EPC), and the Dept.
of Media Study, SUNY Buffalo and features projections, sculpture,
digital prints, Linux-based generative poetry, a future book, iPad
poetry, an interactive nook -- plus a digital poetry cinémathèque!

Some of the digital poetry works in the exhibition will also appear in

offering a multifaceted approach to artistic practice in the digital
medium, in the following events.
