I am not listening: poem object as hybrid publication in the post-digital era

The chapter presents an interactive artwork, I am not listening, that exists within the context of the evolution of artists’ publications and publishing activities through the 20th and 21st centuries. It acknowledges a legacy of creative experimentation, particularly that which respondsto developing communications and media technologies with their associated promise of new sensory experiences and new modes of presenting narrative content. The work expands the experiential dimension of poetry reading beyond the conventions of the printed page and towards a performative gesture of reading in which the interpretative experiences between the aural, visual and haptic are exposed and activated, and in which no two performed readings are the same.
