the e-poets discussion group
The e-poets network sports a listserv, a high-content e-mail discussion group for poetry producers who are specifically interested in new media poetry and telepresent performance, such as videoconferencing. All member sites of the e-poets network have at least one subscribed associate. The group includes esteemed and active media poets from around the world.
The purpose of our group is:
- to cultivate a creative think-tank where we can discuss technical, artistic, practical and theoretical concerns in the telepresent arts and new media poetry.
- to improve ourselves through mutual mentoring.
- to announce forthcoming events we're producing, and extend invitations to partners and peers where opportunities arise.
- to reinforce community among ourselves, and bring the best minds (including our own!) into good company.
You may want to subscribe if you are:
- a new media, performance, or poetry producer, especially if you employ videoconferencing or other new media in your performance or literary work).
- a poet with a telematic or new media arts interest.
- a new media artist with literary interests.
- a member of an organization with any of the above interests.
What's ON TOPIC:
- anything relating to poetry, performance, and electronic media, particularly with an emphasis on videoconferencing, the web, or interactivity.
- invitations to collaborate in the above activities.
- critique and URLs that relate to poetry, performance, and new media.
- leads to funding sources, new technologies, emerging arts related to video and poetry, and so on. (News and "intelligence" on the world.)
- festival announcements on video art, new media arts, and literature, especially where these interests overlap.
What's OFF TOPIC:
- vanity posts of your own poetry. (Forbidden! Your membership will be cancelled if you start doing this.)
- ad hominem arguments, verbal assaults on fellow group members.
- the plainly apocryphal or arcane; subjects that have no bearing upon poetry or new media.
- any trolling which baits a citation of Godwin's Law of Discussion Groups.
The list is unmoderated meaning that nobody clears the content but you before it goes out to everyone else. There is no "un-send". When I created the group, I decided to give all subscribers complete, uncensored access to it.
If I get many complaints about a list subscriber, I will unsubscribe them. For example, if someone spams, spews undue amounts of off-topic mail, or harrasses other members, I'll kick them off the list. This is a power I'd really rather not use, and generally we do not need such intervention. The discussion group is really a place to make good friends and learn something new in the process, and not a place where people should feel put down.
