Question:

Contemporary arts - "form" - what are the best examples?

I'm preparing a presentation on how form is one of the best contemporary devices; does anyone have any examples of how normal form in literature, poetry and film has been pushed beyond expected boundaries?

For example, Mark Z Danielewski's "House of Leaves" isn't just prose, it's fictional newspaper articles, letters, clippings etc ... Ang Lee's "Hulk" is like a film version of a comic book.

Does anyone have any more examples like these? Thanks!

An interesting example of this is in the anime FLCL (fooly cooly) where there is a sequence done in Manga art (animes usually come from Manga). Its in episodes 1 and 6.

You may also want to look for contemporary experimental film since those filmakers have been doing things like that for ages.
