1. Transient Self-Portrait

   Transient self–portrait is an artistic research project with the aim of creating an interactive piece.
   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.

2. Abandoning Canon: Fluid Texts and Implicit Collaboration in Electronic Narratives

   Digital technology enables artists - photographers, musicians, writers, filmmakers, illustrators,
   animators, etc. - to place their work not in a strictly definable where, but effectively everywhere
   (everywhere, that is, where infrastructure and access are available). Where once the lines between
   author, text, and reader could be drawn with linear vectors, digital technology and their increasing
   availability and accessibility bring author, text, and reader into a potentially endless cycle of narrative, creation, wherein the roles are fluid and the text may never be fixed. Because of this capability, Astrid Ensslin argues that the idea of literary canon must depart from "its traditional self-contained, closed, and rigidly exclusive connotations. Instead, an inclusive, open concept has to be adopted, which works in terms of a continuous process of integration, modification and discharge" (2006, n.p).
