Spotlight

On Lionel Kearns

October 2004

On Lionel KearnsĀ is a look back at a forward-looking poet. It explores the sixties-through-eighties pioneering work of proto-digital Vancouver poet Lionel Kearns. Kearns’s work in text, visual poems, and animated poetry videos is combined with Andrews’s interactive visual programming; the result crosses borders between the digital poem, the documentary and the essay, and re-programs the literary hypertext of net.art.
