David Knoebel's
Click Poems were featured in [Art & Technology] A&T 11/06/97 - Mindscapes in November 1997 and now reside in the Zn literature library.

Well, David's back in the spotlight here at Zn with a new work for both real and cyberworld travelers -- Three Billboards. And I've got to say I like this work a lot. Here is a concept work I consider to be exceptionally well considered and executed...

"Poetry installation along a half-mile stretch of US Route 309N... Each billboard displays one word. The three words together comprise a single poem that incorporates the space and time required to read it."

At the Web site installation for this work you will find some savvy coding to recreate a sense (a very strong sense) of the real space installation, and David's attention to the smallest conceptual detail in this portion of the work is truly remarkable, in my eye. I heartily recommend you visit to see it for yourself...
 

While you're checking
your maps at David's site, be sure to check the Click Poems -- delightful minimalist mindscapes -- and please be sure to leave a line or two with your comments.

This work really does give new meaning to the term information highway -- yes? Enjoy.
