Critical Evaluation
The conference offers a thoughtful and well-structured exploration of digital poetry, grounded in the speaker’s doctoral research. The speaker effectively combines theoretical frameworks (Flusser’s apparatus, the concept of the ordinary) with concrete examples, such as the work of Morgane Ortin, to illustrate her points. The historical overview of electronic literature provides useful context, and the discussion of the challenges posed by social media and AI is relevant and timely. However, the talk is primarily an expert opinion rather than a presentation of original research findings; it lacks detailed citations and empirical data. The argumentation is coherent, but some claims, such as the average number of daily screen checks, are presented without sources. The analysis of Ortin’s poem is insightful, demonstrating a close reading that connects form and content. The discussion of AI’s role in poetry is somewhat speculative, as it focuses on potential impacts rather than concrete examples. Overall, the conference is valuable for its synthesis of ideas and its accessible presentation, but it would benefit from more rigorous sourcing and deeper engagement with specific case studies. The title accurately reflects the content, and the talk successfully raises important questions about the future of poetry in the digital age.

The speaker is a doctoral researcher in digital poetry at the University of Lausanne, providing a well-structured overview grounded in literary theory and digital humanities. The talk is an expert opinion rather than a peer-reviewed study, but it references established concepts and provides concrete examples. The lack of citations in the video description and the limited audience interaction slightly reduce the score.
