Landscape/mindscape/langscape: The ephemerality of the digital and of the real in Marlene Creates’s video-poems for ice and snow
The present essay aims at illustrating Marlene Creates’s web project Brickle, nish, and knobbly (2015), as a key example of Eco-Digital Humanities. First of all, it is a digital work of art made of ice images. Besides, it is also a digital archive meant to salvage a linguistic treasury of local idio...
