“It’s a game on several levels: situationist “détournement” of someone else’s typography (in this case, from the SF “Arrival”); a version of an imagined future poem in the line of “poema/processo”; and my own hope that in 2084 we can still create visual poems by analog means (in this case, black ink on Japanese paper), perhaps even with alien input by then.” Stephan Wagner

Visual Poetry received for the International Call for Visual Poetry 2084 Imagined Futures (2023), whose slogan was: “Imagine and send us your visual poetry creations from the future to our present. The time has come to occupy the future and allow your artistic vision to shape the world to come. Together we can transform dreams into reality.”
The call was organized by Aura Poesía Visual (http://aurapoesiavisual.blogspot.com/?m=0). We thank Ana Verónica Suárez and OmarOmar.

Visual poetry is a form of experimental artistic expression that combines visual and verbal elements to transmit a message with the image predominating over the verbal. Unlike traditional poetry, words can appear superimposed, deformed or combined with images and graphic elements (typefaces, photographs, illustrations, etc.) to create a poetic experience that transcends written language and its literal meaning.
