Summary/Abstract: The article provides an overview of videopoetry as a fusion of art and technology, adopting a neo-medieval perspective (U. Eco). It discusses the genre’s genesis, going back to the roots of changes in the perception and recording of poetry. The article also presents two important manifestos: I. Cottage (film poetry) and T. Konyves (videopoetry). Variant approaches to understanding videopoetry are cited, as well as critiques of Konyves’ manifesto (S. Tremlett, D. Kujawa, M. Pfeiler). The article concludes with a proposal for the use of autoethnography as an interdisciplinary research method in relation to videopoetry.
