"Poem électronique"

"Poème électronique" is an innovative multimedia poetry piece created by composer Edgard Varèse and architect Le Corbusier for the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. It combines spoken words, electronic music, visuals, and spatial effects to engage the senses and challenge traditional notions of poetry. By merging sound, images, and space, it transforms the experience of reading or listening to poetry into an immersive, sensory event. This work exemplifies experimental art that blurs boundaries between music, visual arts, and literature, emphasizing the possibilities of electronic technology to create new forms of artistic expression.
