First of all I asked myself the question whether I would succeed in interpreting a work of poetry as a work of computer art in such a way that the essential contradiction between the two is suspended for the benefit of a unified statement. Or could it be claimed that the computer as such already occupies a poetic position?
My experiments are intended to create a relationship between man and machine in which each complements the other in a kind of symbiosis; in other words, the familiar is combined with the unfamiliar in a kind of 'talking screen'.
In the formal sense the computer's systematic, functional, and analytical working methods, in parallel with the systematic uprooting of speech and writing from their semantic contexts (Jandl's working method), were the main reasons why the computer as a medium offered the best conditions for implementation and interpretation.
The formal language of the digital tongues used here is more surreal than alienating and abstract, while those tongues that are taken out of their contexts and forced into new semantic and functional contexts through image or data processing essentially correspond to the working principle of the Dadaists. Thus an unusual image experience was born, accompanied by the linguistic experience of Jandl's poetry.
