In "Cyberpoetry Underground",
the whole navigation is in a 3d textual space, text
animations, hot-spotted panoramas of text, and synthesized
voice sound poetry. This title is authored for Macintosh,
and requires QuickTime VR. It is a journey through
five 360-degree panoramas of text representing five
stations of the London Underground. In each panorama,
the text objects that make the scene are hyperlinks
to animated sound/text cyberpoems.
Komninos, performance poet, has
been poeting since 1985 professionally, taking his
poetry to schools, community groups, hotels, music
venues, prisons, coffee lounges and universities,
radio and television and now the internet.
