Post-Internet Poetry

This is an interesting article from The New Yorker about how the internet age has influenced how we make poetry. Below is an excerpt. Read the entire article here.

“Over the past few years, the art world has been throwing around the term “post-Internet” to describe the practices of artists who use the Web as the basis for their work but don’t make a big deal about it. For these artists, unlike those of previous generations, the Web is just another medium, like painting or sculpture. Their artworks move fluidly between spaces, appearing sometimes on a screen, other times in a gallery. A JPEG of a painting is often considered another version of a painting, and vice versa.” –Kenneth Goldsmith
