Poetry is Just Words in the Wrong Order
Poetry is Just Words in the Wrong Order (2015) proposes an unconventional way of creating and presenting poetry based on improvisation, language/sound experimentation, fragmentation and randomness. Poetry as a social practice is here developed in an anti-narrative manner. Built with custom code, a computer chooses random phrases from a predetermined Twitter hashtag (e.g. #Syria) and a database of verses which are selected by the two artists (e.g. verses from poems by Arab women writing in English). The phrases and the verses from the two sources are combined partly randomly and partly following a given pattern. At the same time, sound events are being produced by estimating the number of the letters of every incoming word as well as the total volume of the incoming data. When the project is presented live, the three artists build and improvise on the poem that is created by the computer. (Source: Adapted from authors’ text)

(N)(P)OVO / META(N)(P)OVO
"Na Europa, para não falarmos de épocas mais remotas, são célebres os papiros mágicos do século V a. C. e o «Ovo» de Símias de Rodes, que data do ano 300 a. C. e cuja técnica de leitura se conhece. Trata-se dum poema bucólico composto graficamente em forma de ovo, sendo essa forma usada como metáfora do processo poético." (Ana Hatherly, in A Reinvenção da Leitura, 1975).
"O ovo, aliás, mais do que morfema, aparece como ideia incisiva da obra de Silvestre Pestana no núcleo da problemática da potência aristotélica: a fecundação do ser múltiplo é condicionada pelo dispositivo, que permite ou não a sobrevivência. Por isso a associação do ovo ao «povo novo», quer aquele que depois do 25 de Abril, quer aquele que hoje imerso num mundo cada vez mais high tech." (Manaíra Athayde, “PO.EX em EXPO”, 2013).

The Multiples Lives of Walter B.
This artwork realized as a physical installation invites participants to explore how decisions can change a character's biography. The participants engage with the piece by physicallly interacting with objects and locations, creating a sensory experience. Inspired by motives from the life of media theorist and philosopher Walter Benjamin, the work is simultaneously an exploration of history, throught the lens of an individual character. The many junctures in his biography open up a space for speculation (what would have become of him if he had taken a different turn? What would have happened as a consequence?)

the space between us
the space between us connects two people’s phones that are physically close. Once connected the app will display the spatial distance between each person and show an arrow pointing towards the other person.
--> is where you are
--> is where I am
As we move in different directions, our distances expand and contract. Our arrows move. Like a compass our phones will orient themselves towards each other, as if the other phone has become north. The arrow points away from the screen. Always, we are somewhere.
Across horizons, deserts, days, nights, the grids of cities, we face each other.

The Required Field
The Required Field is an expansive interactive digital poem exploring the impact of policy documents, bureaucratic forms and the river of applications on our lives and our daily culture. Using twenty found and remixed government and corporate documents, the work poetically translates those overly complex and confusing forms.
For example, a Tax Form for farmers will be recontextualized through an interactive image-‐map tour, transforming specific sections of the forms into poetic text and animated elements. Or a page from a Work Visa application will be created into a platform game, where the reader/player triggers poetry blasting bureaucracies through their game play.
And in the end, The Required Field, builds from and then poetically destroys the bureaucratic cultures and their fields of red-‐tape, laws and policies for the sake of policies, the sub-‐section to a sub-‐section, part B stroke 9 for breathing.
