Jaka Železnikar: poetry, literature and visual art

I'm author of computational poetry and visual art.

Jaka.org contains my on-line work, information on it and on my projects in other media as well as short news and references from my art/poetry life.

In 1994 a book of my poems and short stories was published. In 1996 I made my first web experiments. In next years I was one of the authors of early net art. Lately I'm interested mostly in language and/or visual expression based on network aware programming.

I live in Ljubljana, Slovenia, Europe. I exhibit, present and publish my work internationally.

Last project

About Slovene language

Most of my language based works are bilingual — Slovene (my native language) and English.

Slovene is an Indo-European language that belongs to the family of South Slavic languages. It's written in the Roman alphabet. It is a grammatically complex language with rich (inflectional) morphology. It has 6 cases, 3 genders, 4 tenses and 3 numbers (beside the singular and plural also the dual is used - for two persons or objects). About 2 million native speakers.
