The New Concrete Poetry & AI



Like many other visual and concrete poets, I follow with great interest poets and other experimentalists using tools of artificial intelligence to express their visions and push boundaries. Lanny Quarles' (Texas, USA) AI-assisted work appears regularly on Asemic Front 2. mIEKAL aND recently shared results of his collab with ChatGPT to create a 750-word post avant poem "in the style of mIEKAL aND."

The implications for composition are epoch-changing. Throughout his career, mIEKAL aND has been at the forefront embracing new technologies & concepts. As one of our leading visual poets, he is an ideal guide into the new concrete.

  "Stoen 254: in this act contained" by Geof Huth  (Newport, North Carolina, USA) (September 2024)  Recent Object Poems by Geof Huth    By De Villo Sloan   In my previous New Concrete interview with visual poet Terri Witek, I provided a context by sharing my observations about what I believe to be the emergence of a new iteration of an age-old poetic practice: Object Poetry. The New Object poem is likely to be three-dimensional and is often composed of randomly found, inexpensive materials. Various art, literature and music movements grounded in Neo-Concretism have had a powerful influence on recent developments in this postavant genre. Members of Fluxus exchanged Object Poems via their mail art network. Most New Object poems are shared in an environment of digital poetics.

This edition was released in 2023 by Timglaset, the acclaimed Swedish publisher of postavant lit.

This substantial volume does much to establish Jung as an important, innovative minimalist poet of the 21 st century. Readers of contemporary visual poetr...
