The Tower of Jezik
Initiated during the 2014 Erasmus intensive program in Digital Literatures, The Tower of Jezik is a hyperfiction intended for teenagers that primarily questions language and its possible inefficiency. Set in an imaginary world which calls medieval times to mind, the reader follows a young boy chasing his cat over the rooftops of his small village. Through a window, the boy sees an old man brewing something in a cauldron and believes he is in fact a wizard about to cast a spell. The old man sees him spying and the boy falls from the window, hits his head and loses consciousness. When he wakes up, he can no longer understand what people are saying and, convinced that the villagers were indeed cursed by a powerful sorcerer, he sets out to find the mythical Tower of Jezik and bring language back to his people. The prototype for Tower of Jezik was originally developed in HTML to be read in web browsers. However, it is currently being remediated in ePub 3 by Émilie Barbier, as part of the Textualités Augmentées workshop at Paris 8 University.

Transient Self-Portrait
Transient self–portrait is an artistic research project questioning notions of reading and the electronic medium while exploring the possibilities of coding to interact with the work. I take as the point of departure two pivotal sonnets in Spanish literature that are normally studied alongside each other, En tanto que de rosa y azucena by Garcilaso de La Vega, a 16th Century Spanish poet, using Italian Renaissance verse forms and Mientras por competir con tu cabello by Luís de Gongora, a 17th Century Spanish poet from the Baroque period. Gongora's sonnet is a homage to Garcilaso's and the styles and the cultural aspects that appear on the sonnets are very different reflecting the attitudes from the Renaissance and the Baroque. This project is a response to some of the concepts that emerge from these sonnets; ephemerality of life, consummation, transient entities, fragility, which are also relevant to our age and the electronic world we inhabit.

Speeches and poemas
Speeches and Poemas (Félix Remírez, 2006) is a digital bilingual poetry digital book divided into five parts. In the first one, Versos en la arena –Verses in the Sand- the multimedia digital possibilities are used to combine a series of sonnets and poems with the sound and vision of waves dying in the and. In the second, Raining Thoughts, the reader has to interact with a storm to extract its clouds-phrases and thoughts, all between the ambient sound of a storm. The third part, From my lips, is a review of a digital automatic writing that creates grammatically correct texts which do not make real sense. The fourth part, Image and Works, combines images in motion with verses inspired from each of the images. In English and Spanish the reader interacts with the images trying to choose the one that can be more interesting. In the end, La luz de la palabra –The Light of the Word-obliges the reader to find each poem little by little, as if he/she were reading with a candle. The work uses Javascript resources and there is music in each part of it.

La esfinge (The Sphynx)
The Sphynx is a game in which a woman robot voice asks questions and the reader can only answer yes or no. The questions are about love relationships, gender ¡ssues and society. Each correct answer allows continuing the game, an incorrect answer finishes the game. The correction or error of the answers does not need to correspond with any kind of science or thruth, but simply with an identity that corresponds with the way of being and thinking of Dora García.

Todas las historias
In the Website the author comments that once a man or a woman has read aloud the stories published there he or she will have read all the stories in the world. It is interesting because the stories, which are only two lines stories, a sort of Flash fiction, are very familiar to anyone, realistic, humoristic and sometimes dark stories.

Insertos en tiempo real
The series of projects called Insertados en Tiempo real (Inserted in Real Time), began in 2001. These projects raise the question of the definition of art and the limits between a performance and a real-life situation. The name "inserted" translates the intention these works have of interrupting, questioning or twisting real situations in real time. All inserted were played by actors (professional or non-professional, actors in the sense that they act following certain instructions) and function in several contexts, not necessarily art exhibition contexts (Source: Collection FracLorraine).
