Festival Content

DIGITAL POETRY

POLITICALLY PROGRAMMED

The works being presented are threefold born-digital – they are generated by and with the machine. They explore the possibilities of language, poetry and communication in the digital age. And they draw attention to the problems, be it with an explanatory gesture or by way of activism, inherent in the social, political and social accompanying phenomena of the digital age.
