The digital poetry of Wilton Azevedo: interpoesia – the beginning of expanded scriptures

Abstract

This article presents a study on digital poetry developed by Prof º. Dr. Wilton Azevedo, within the Digital Humanities Laboratory - LHUDI - of the Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie, which finds its relevance in the use of technological infrastructure, in the theoretical-reflexive training and in team production within the Postgraduate Program Stricto Sensu in Education, Art and History of Culture. Digital poetry establishes a new relationship between codes through sound, verbal, visual and performative registers, providing the unfolding of non-linear and interdisciplinary images and words, dematerializing poetic making, which presents semiotic indexes resulting from the articulation of language in media of ambience in a mutual interdependence between reader, poet and poetry. The Wilton Interpoesia records a work of poetic characteristics, created in a digital environment through the use of technological devices that aims at the expansion of a digital code as an effective means of producing knowledge within the proposal of Digital Humanities. The work of Wilton proposes a new look at the digital environment regarding its exploitation, as a technological platform relevant to digital poetic creation, as well as for the registration.
