A escrita do poema concreto e sua recriação em vídeo

Abstract

In the 1990s, a Brazilian experience that became known as "Visual Poetry - Video Poetry" brought together poets and researchers in computer technology to perform the re-creation of concrete poems in video, works that can be called video-poems. Although the poems are characterized by a hybrid language, verbivocovisual, in the definition of the Noigandres poets, the material medium in which they are realized is the support of the writing, two-dimensional and visual. Already, the medium in which the video was recreated, differs by the ability to produce in virtual form images with three-dimensional movement, changing colors and sound. This passage from one code to another is conceived under different perspectives. By the vision of avant-garde ideology, progressive, the concrete poem is prototype, draft, or first version that could only find in modern computational technology the perfect expression. But according to a synchronic position of history – which participates even paradoxically in the concretist manifesto and predominates in the post-utopian phase – the concrete poem is an irreducible totality, definitive writing, which only reappears in the video as a translation.
