Jaka Železnikar (born 1971) is a Slovenian artist known for his computational poetry and internet art. The base of his work is a nonlinear language-based expression combined with visual art. Since 1997 he has been part of the net art community,[1]Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

Work

His works are mostly bilingual (Slovene and English).

He is the author of two books: 54.00 besed (54.000 words, a book of poetry and short stories, in Slovenian, 1994) and Napis nad mestom (Inscription Over the City, a book of a sampled poetry from the history of Slovenian poetry, 2004, co-author Sunčan Patrick Stone).[citation needed]

Železnikar has created about 25 net art works.[citation needed] Notable works include Interactivalia, a 1997 interactive poetry work in Solvenian and English[2][3] and "Ascii Kosovel", mix of nonlinear poetic interactive or computational narratives based on a work by Srečko Kosovel, Slovenian avantgard poet (1904—1926).[2][4]

Since 2004 he has created several expressive add-ons for the Firefox web browser, including the on-line visual poem "Letters · 字母 2.0" and "Disorganizer", made in 2007.[5][6][7]
