Abstract

The article shows the functioning of concrete poetry in the sphere dominated by technological solutions, being characteristic of the culture associated with new media. Subjected to analysis and interpretation is the multimedia performance by Marcin Dymiter and Ludomir Franczak, who combined Polish, Czech and German literary texts with electronic music. In their vision, the life of concrete poetry develops in the dimension of the contemporary urban subculture and in the world of sound generated by various types of apparatus. The relationship between poetry and music abounds in various defects and interferences, which are a deliberate effect introduced by of the authors of this artistic experiment. The broad range of rustles and murmurs draw on the sound tradition of modern poetry, as well as industrial music. The performance exposes the symbolic meaning of the emission of sound coming into interaction with poetic text.
