___Hallelujah

"Ni_ka is a Japanese artist and poet. Monitashi (Monitor Poetry) or ARShi (Augmented Reality Poetry) as exemplified by HALLELUJAH is a new poetic form created by ni_ka. She was inspired by 21st century Japanese girly internet / smartphone subculture and its transformative effects on traditional literary history. Deeply inspired by the rise of this new subculture, ni_ka attempted to create her new poetic form not in book form but through digital media. Hence ni_ka's colorful and dynamic poetry is characterized by the use of a variety of new artistic strategies such as: Face Letters (Kaomoji), Decor Letters (Dekomoji), ASCII art, LINE stamps, [and] FACEBOOK stamps. Especially in the wake of the 3.11 Eastern Japan Earthquake, ni_ka, whose family seriously suffered from the disaster, makes use of a monitor poem in order to represent the invisible that could well be visible only through digital technology." -- from Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 3
