The Limits of Computation (Interview with Jim Andrews)
Jim Andrews is one of the pioneers of digital poetry.
Indefatigable contributor to early list-servs, agile practitioner of algorithmic art, instigator of dialogs and diatribes, provocateur and poet of machinic potentials. His web portal vispo.com/ continues to provide a hybrid dose of poetry, visuals and spoken word conjoined by code.
Jim is a poet who studied formal programming for 7 years and continues to call for the necessity of programming at the core of digital poetics.
His work has been exhibited internationally; he currently resides in Vancouver where (among other gambits) he teaches mobile app development, JavaScript, Phonegap, and HTML. He's also the organizer of The Group of X, a Vancouver-based group of artists and scholars involved in computer art.

PO.EX (Interview with Manuel Portela)
Manuel Portela collaborates with the PO.EX archive of Portuguese media poetry.
As a scholar, he explores reflexive qualities in reading operations. For Portela, formal analysis of the processes of reading and viewing reveal a continuity that transcends apparent differences in distribution technology: meaning, recursive as a worm, burrows into the mind on a path of words.
For a thorough discussion of these issues, see Manuel`s book "Scripting Reading Motions: The Codex and the Computer as Self-Reflexive Machines" (MIT Press, 2013, forthcoming).

La Groupe Alire (Interview with Philippe Bootz)
Phillippe Bootz originally trained as a physicist which may explain his esoteric and intense concern with the dense implications of the structure of reading experience in mediated environments and the capacity of algorithms to augment human thought. Or as Phillippe wrote in reply to this : "De mon point de vue, les algorithmes augmentent, non la pensée, mais le pouvoir de représentation de l'artiste mais sont insuffisants pour porter ces représentations jusqu'à leur dimension sensible, celle-ci ne peut advenir que dans la physicalité du dispositif numérique, à savoir l'exécution du programme (car cette exécution explicite le non-dit des algorithmes, mais cela n'est pas abordé dans la vidéo)"
In 1988 he was one of the founding members of the group ALIRE which arose in opposition and co-option with visual language experiments, ALIRE published directly onto diskette in order to emphasize the dynamic of machinic screens and executable code.

Intervista ai TheCoevas
TheCoevas Strumentist di Parole is an group of authors or, as they define themselves, a literary band which created an interactive novel called TheCoevasIo interattivo (TheCoevas I interactive). The novel which was published in 2011 on the blog of the authors is accompanied by a medium-length documentary and is also published in form of printed book. Another characteristic of the novel is the variety of the online versions: iWork Apple, Powerpoint and pdf. As they explain in the interview, the project as a whole is conceived as an experiment of different ways of expressions and the work of writing is similar to the musical composition of a band. The very freedom of creativity is granted to the readers who can choose various audio-visual effects and narrative paths following their emotional and individual choices according to the demands of extemporaneity.
