What is a Multi Media Poetry????

Video poetry is a mixed media format in which poem, image and sound interact symbiotically. A well integrated poetry video strives to achieve a unity of mood with each factor enhancing the other so the synergy is more effective than the poem or image presented seperately. The highly condensed nature of the poem provides the ideal scenario for a short film or video. The visual carrier offers a fresh alternative, a modern vehicle for presenting poetry to media savvy audiences.
Good video poetry integrates poem, image and music into a unified work of art. The whole being more effective than any of the elements presented seperately. Where the poem is dominant the eye absorbs the image and frees the ear to follow the spoken word. If the image dominates the captions or voice over enhances the course of the moving picture, reinforces it and gives it articulation and direction. The music, of course, supports and bonds poem and image.

A friend that I love

by Do-Hee Park


I do not love a friend who doesn't have a dream.
I do not love a friend who doesn't like a dream.
I love a friend who is filled with sweet dreams.
For the future needs a dream
That can expand brightly and clearly.

Sitting on the green grass
And looking at the clear hazel sky
That's filled with dreams,
How beautiful the world will be!

I do not love a friend who doesn't hav a shade
I do not love a friend who doesn't like a shade.
I love a friend who became a shade of a tree.
For the sun needs the shade to clarify and dazzle
And shine on the world with its warm-heart.

Sitting in the shade of a tree
And looking at the glittering sunlight
Through the gaps of the leaves,
How warm the world can be!

I do not love a friend who doesn't have tears.
I do not love a friend who doesn't like tears.
I love a friend who is full of tears.
For the joys o life are worthless if there are no tears.
Love does not exist without any tears.

Looking at your friends
And wiping their tears away,
How beautiful the connection will be!

What is Web 2.0 ( a brief explanation)


Originally in 2004, Web 2.0 was referred to as this idea of the "Web as a platform". The concept was such that instead of thinking of the Web as a place where browsers viewed data through small windows on the readers' screens, the Web was actually the platform that allowed people to get things done. But this really didn't catch on. In fact, it's fairly hard to grasp what that really means.

Later people started thinking of Web 2.0 as the programming tools used to create the Web pages that were considered "cutting edge Web 2.0". This included AJAX and SOAP and other XML and JavaScript applications that allowed the readers to actually interact with the Web pages more like you would with an application on your desktop.

Now Web 2.0 is really starting to mean a combination of the technology (like AJAX) allowing the customers to actually interact with the information. Web 2.0 is starting to mean the situation where amateur writers and developers are able to create applications and Web sites that get more credibility than traditional news sources and software vendors. This combination of powerful JavaScript tools like AJAX enabling nearly anyone to contribute to and interact with the data that we are all working with is really what Web 2.0 is.
