Artist Blog #4: Visual Poetry


Visual poetry is art in which the visual arrangement of text, imagery, and symbols convey the meaning of a poem.  It is sometimes referred as concrete poetry.  Visual poetry incorporates text, but the text's primarily has a visual function.  This type of visual art coincides with digital poetry, which involves electronic literature through the use of computers.  I consider visual poetry a form of new media art because it relates back to Dadaism art.  Since Dada art involves both text and imagery in a comical way, visual poetry is using the same technique, but in a more educational and literature meaning.
