Speclab: Digital Aesthetics and Projects in Speculative Computing, 2009

 Item
Identifier: CC-54632-990079
Scope and Contents Amazon.com: Nearly a decade ago, Johanna Drucker cofounded the University of Virginia's SpecLab, a digital humanities laboratory dedicated to risky projects with serious aims. In SpecLab she explores the implications of these radical efforts to use critical practices and aesthetic principles against the authority of technology based on analytic models of knowledge.Inspired by the imaginative frontiers of graphic arts and experimental literature and the technical possibilities of computation and information management, the projects Drucker engages range from Subjective Meteorology to Artists' Books Online to the as yet unrealized Patacritical Demon, an interactive tool for exposing the structures that underlie our interpretations of text.

staring@poetics, 2011

 Item
Identifier: CC-52407-73532
Scope and Contents

But I shouldn't be surprised - I have followed his poetic career for many years and found him to be one of the most challenging, cutting-edge, American poets today. The long poem or the visual poems are each worth the price of the book. This book deserves a place in any library of contemporary poetry. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
