SCRIPTIC POETRY
Scriptic Poetry is a project offering a new format or template for anyone to create poetry. Just like haiku's or sonnets it consists of a fixed set of rules that are to be followed. The template is based on the scripting languages HTML, CSS and JAVASCRIPT, but adapted to be optimal for use of poetry. The if-, then-, else-clause are the key features of this structure.
This new form of poetry is unique as it makes it possible to use new concepts, such as loops to give the poems more flexibility. It gives the opportunity to read a poem differently every time you start over; a poem does not necessarily have to be fixed and static anymore.
With this new template comes a new form of visualisation. Together with the template, a set of rules for language was created. Every word has to be written as short as possible and several characters are replaced by signs. It can be seen as a new kind of grammar-system exclusive for this poetry-form. When the new form of writing is mixed with the original language, this creates a new kind of font. Then a poem is not only linguistic, but visually interesting as well. To still be able to decipher the font, the poem is read out loud as well.
Visualisation, language and sound are all put together. It makes Scriptic Poetry a form of poetry created for multiple senses to give a more complete experience. Scriptic Poetry is created to be an experience.

After some failed attempts, in the end I got rid of all the errors.
The end result was an empty page, which included code with in this code a hidden poem. I like the symbolism of the empty page with the poem as a secret.

My first attempt at using a poem as a script. I wanted to see for myself what the result would be if I put the poem to use in a practical way. As you can see a lot of errors occured.

A list divided into the category symbols and linguistic patterns as referring to scripting language. I intend to extend the list.

SCRIPTIC POETRY
A project about a form of poetry influenced by technological developments. In a way it derives from the earlier form of visual or concrete poetry, a form of design mostly applied in the 90s. Nowadays, in this period of time in which digital technologies and programming play a more and more significant role in our society, it raises the question how these developments have their influences and impact on this form of visual poetry. What would a new contemporary form of visual poetry in today's society look like? As there has been a lot of expermenting inside the format of visual poems, how can its concept be twisted or slightly adapted to create a new approach to this dated form of design?
Recycling and adapting principles used in scripting languages such as HTML, CSS and JAVASCRIPT a new format or template for poetry can be created. This template carries its own rules in language as well as in patterns and structures of poetry. It opens up a new dimension of looping and continuity. Interesting is the balance between the poem and its visual representation.
As scripting language is a way of programming to achieve some visual effects, what would the visualisation of such a 'scriptic poem' be? What would be the additional visual impact of a 'scriptic poem'? Could it have two different representations, a language-based and a programming-based representation? It could even be taken one step further: how would this visual poem be represented in sound and/or speech?
