Electro poet rivelazionaria: el rescate de las poesías computacionales de Gianni Toti

Abstract

Each letter, each word, each writing of Gianni Toti not only has a value at a text level, but also at a visual level. His writing was also a drawing. The words escaped from their symbolic field, to insinuate the visual metaphor. Perhaps this is the reason why Gianni Toti is considered to be the father of video poetry. A vision of the work “Pappagallo 2” of Francesco Mariotti, Peruvian-Swiss artist, and the regenerated Totian poetries demonstrate that, marginal to a semantic search, poetry is still the space where descontextualizations can produce an order that only a human being can understand and feel.
