Description
Summary:The Tecnopoetics group has developed the concept of Poemaps, which constitutes a system for the creation of poetry within a logic of georeferencing. The intrinsic elements of the Poemaps are: (1) the critical articulation linking poetry and urban space: (2) the use of online mapping services to georeference poetry to certain spaces — fostering the desire to write about lived or imagined spatialities; (3) the topic of the labyrinth — inside a mechanism to foster imagination and questioning about existential complexities in the cities; (4) the creation of interactive poetry as enhancer of criticism — through the use of commentary-poems, fusing transtextual categories, such as metatextuality or architextuality, insofar as texts are also prone to intermedialities; (5) the concept of a web application capable of performing as an open artwork.
