Jaka Železnikar
I'm author of computational poetry and visual art.
Most of my (language based) works are bilingual, Slovene and English, some are available only in one of those languages.
I exhibit, publish and present my works internationally.
Other online presence
Out of my basic site here at jaka.org I go as jakaorg.
- Twitter (status updates and occasional small e-literature piece)
- Delicious (e-literature related bookmarks, including net art based on language expression)
- Facebook (social)
- LinkedIn (business)
(I'm infrequently present also on some other social networking sites, look for jakaorg if interested.)
