As TCR 2-50 guest editor Andrew Klobucar notes in his essay Artifice And Intelligence: New Writing, New Technologies, some of the recent developments in the visual structure and appearance of writing on screen derive, as we see in Jim Andrews’ piece, from new networking technologies. The “network,” for Andrews, functions not just as a structure of information exchange with multiple nodes of input and output, it suggests an actual paradigm of cognition as a continuous, process-driven social activity. The writings and artworks he reviews in his article share a creative interest in exploring these key aspects of the Web as important aesthetic qualities.
JIM ANDREWS has published vispo.com since 1995. It is his attempt to create a body of writing that can swim in the digital ocean. He is a poet, programmer, audio guy, commentator on digital writing, and designer of interfaces. He lives in Victoria.
