Recombinant Poetics

Computer-based environmental meaning is potentially examined and explored through the authorship inter-authorship and operative experiential examination of a diverse set of media- elements and media-processes within an operative generative computational environment. The media that becomes evocative within this techo-poetic virtual environment includes digital video digital still images 3D digital objects 3D animations digital spoken and written text digital music/noise - sound objects and digital texture maps - both still and moving. Each media-element could be said to convey its own field of meaning. Varying combinations of these fields of meaning are experienced through fleeting electronic/environmental relations. The mind-set of the participant represents another active field and becomes dynamically involved in the construction of meaning. It is through the combination and recombination of these evocative digital fields of meaning as experienced by an engaged participant that a new form of poetics can emerge - Recombinant Poetics.
