new YASMIN discussion beginning Dec 1 2010 :
Science, Technology, POETRY
TOPIC:
In this YASMIN (http://www.media.uoa.gr/yasmin/) discussion we wish
to discuss the varieties of poetry today that connect to science, the arts
and technology.
There are examples of poets who have also been scientists or
engineers; poetry that uses new
technologies to find new forms for expression; poetry that uses
mediated senses to explore and
ground the feel and taste of data (the erotics of data?); poetry that
grapples with how science and
new technologies changes what it means to be human today and how we
live together. We welcome
submissions of poetry and links to poetry sites.
This YASMIN discussion will be seeded by the following invited
respondents, but of course all
YASMINERS are invited to join in the discussion:
