For what concerns my last essay, Techno Poetry and Virtual Reality
(Tecno-poesia e realta virtuali, bilingual Italian / English), I know I
promised to some of you to send a copy of the book, unfortunately I myself
received no single copy from the
publisher yet. So I'm waiting. Please, be not angry with me.
I remember the essay is about the international new media poetry landscape
and presents 130 international artists + a special section dedicated
to the video festivals and web projects curated by me since 1990.

KARENINA.IT (poetry in phatic function) A web project by Caterina Davinio
davinio@tin.it on line since 1998  -  By Jakobson, phatic is the use of the
language which has the finality to maintain open and operative the
communication channel among the interlocutors. On the confine between art
and critic, happening and net performance, Karenina.it is a virtual meeting
place around the theme of the writing and the new technologies, in which
experiences of international artists, curators, theoreticians converge, in a
net that counts thousands of contacts in the world.
