Wednesday, Nov 16, 2022, 6:05PM via Zoom, The Japan Center Lecture Series:
In this talk, we will explore how poets in Japan grappled with digital media from its early days to the present, touching on poetry’s relationship to computing, the internet, social media, video games, augmented reality, and more. We will see not only how “new media” affected how poetry was made, but the other way around as well—in other words, how poets used their work to rethink “the digital” itself anew.
