Jason Nelson is a digital poet that strives to create new ways to structure, organize, and interact with new ways of thinking and creating. He focuses on the experience of poetry rather than the description of it. He has worked on multiple poetry exhibitions or web publications that focus on interfaces. This genre as a whole is an emerging language practice that can be seen as an attempt at renewal / rejuvenation of preexisting artistic forms (sound, visual, verbal).
In my project, I hope to explain the origins and movement of digital poetry and any significant impact the consequent digitalization has created. I am interested in particular with interactive poetry interfaces, such as Jason's "Poetry Cube" and "a tree with managers and jittery boats."
