Electro Magnetic Poetry

by Maria Winslow

🏆 Honorary Mention · Prix Ars Electronica 1996

In 1996, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Electro Magnetic Poetry” by Maria Winslow (Net Based Art) with a Honorary Mention.

Electro Magnetic Poetry was my first experiment with the Java programming language from Sun Microsystems, and was written in September of 1995. It is an interactive Web application that allows the user to drag and drop custom poems from a collection of words.
