Video poetry

Random link found this evening, contains several pages with video/sound art in quicktime format. Still watching through them now but I recommend body-performance. Most of these are fairly short, around 6 minutes or so.
I translated a bit of the text from the French:
video poetry (videopoetry) even if it has a history which goes up at the beginning of the century at the cinematographic level, it remains still little developed compared to the other disciplines of video, in particular the video numerical one. Too much often it is confused with the video ones which by their esthetics are known as poetic. The reflexion on the conditions of numerical video writing of poetry is thus for the moment a ground in waste land which remains to be explored.
This work is registered like attempts to include/understand the stakes of poetic writings hybrid, which regard any medium as that of the writing.
