FLOATING WORDS
(the word sails in virtual waters)

All Literature is not faithful to the conventions. In order to overcome the involución it is necessary risk. The aberrant propagation of the literary prizes as only way to justify the bottoms dedicated to culture no longer is solution. In front of the industry of the book, turned many cases in businesses transnational, able of swallowing all the independent projects, the imagination is necessary.

The network of Internet is on the other hand, to day of today, a democratic, and cheap effective way of transmission of knowledge. The art multimedia, interactive, digital, has opened a hollow within the creation to multidiscipline. The pages dedicated to publications net proliferate in their attempt to break through in the world of the letters. The phenomenon of blogs already is defined as a metaliteratura of unforseeable influences for the traditional “black on target”. The pages dedicated to visual poetry begin to hold fast. Soon time, is possible, will ***reflx mng more through a screen than opening a book, So that then to resign to the mixture, the hetereogeneidad and capacity for the inventiveness that provides the universal Web to us?

We are not here pleading for the end of books. Quite to the contrary. Hopefully that that overture of pages, magical fact that it transports towards the illusion and the thought, and that makes shine the hearts, outside new “book for the handling” and nonobject of Fair, in which authors star impose their livened up tastes and publishers their prescriptions. It is sad subject that the scene for the creation so is limited and preservative. I do not believe that it mistakes to me if I say that between all those rejected works not to fit in the style of editorials there are wonderful attempts to invent new realities.

One is not to deplore. The objective of this page is the one to open doors, to give the opportunity to an expression form, that that sails in the potentiality. Of there the name of the call, of the effort to maintain this site within the interconnection there that facilitates the Network.

The work chosen for the cover has been in this Happy case “2007”, of Emerenciano gives Silva, a visual poem that, peculiarly, could be similarly between the pages of a book. The image rezuma intemporalidad, insumisión and sincretismo. In the election there is a vindicative intention on the litográfica memory, the imaginary postcard, the simplicity of cartelería combative. All it like arms of word as opposed to the horrible vision of the quick present time.

From the 1 to the 20, the reading internaut will be able to find varied examples of expresivas disciplines. In some of them they practice technical of Javascript, flash, video… with certain interactive capacities and good approach to the video art, net art, the digital poem…. All the proposals have been chosen by their transfonterizo, cross-sectional or experimental character. Finally they have been optimized so that his visualization is correct and the possible most agile unloading,

Thanks.
Julio F.Peláez.
