EnglishWhat Is dpoetry.com and Who Is Jason Nelson?
Updated
dpoetry.com is the portfolio site of Jason Nelson, an artist working in digital writing, digital art, and art-games. The site presents an ongoing collection of short interactive and screen-based works, along with sections for Portfolio, About, and Contacts. If you want to see examples of digital poetry and narrative experiments rather than read a biography, the portfolio itself is the main reason to visit.
What the site is
The homepage describes the work as "a collection of smaller works. Some interactive, some are odd, and all of them are short experiences." The navigation is simple: Portfolio, About, and Contacts, with a "Scroll down to discover" prompt leading into a filterable list of projects.
Works are grouped under filters including:
- Digital writing
- Digital art
- Art-Games
- InterbaseDataface

What to expect
The works are short experiences rather than long-form reading. Many are interactive, and several are tied to specific places in Brisbane, Australia, so some pieces may depend on location or on a browser that supports their format. The site does not list pricing, so treat the portfolio as a showcase rather than a store.
