hvad der kommer efter L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E

Den canadiske systemdigter / eksperimentalpoet (hvad betyder det overhovedet?) Christian Bök taler om at digte for robotter, om skrift som økosystem og hvad der kommer efter L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E:


Future advances in the aesthetic formalism of poetry seem unlikely to occur unless we can experiment more audaciously with the technical apparatus of the book, disrupting the sequential temporality and stratified pagination of such a medium in order to produce the kind of text that might easily be mistaken for an interactive sculpture, a mechanized appliance, or even an artificial ecosystem. We may exalt the poets of the future, not because they can write great poems, but because they can program devices that can write great poems for us, doing so automatically within a digital economy of unrestricted expenditure. We may also want to keep in mind too that we are probably the first generation of poets who can reasonably expect to write poetry for inhuman readers, be they aliens, robots, or clones.
