La Belle
“La Belle” is a kinetic poem created by Philippe Bootz in 1989. Published in the review alire 2, it was later transferred into the anthology Le salon de lecture électronique in 1994. The poem itself is a brief program that is presented in several parts. That is to say, the poem seems to be cut into strophes: a preliminary strophe that introduces the poem, a sequence of lines that appear and disappear quickly in the center of the screen that make up the second part of the poem, and the third strophe that is presented just after the first and second strophes. Yet, the third strophe changes a bit after the second strophe. Only the last line of the poem, “froid jusqu’au coeur,” is seen. This means of presenting the poem complicates the comprehension of its sense and thus creates a sentiment of distance from the poem. Moreover, the rapidity of the program is accentuated by the transfer software for technological reasons. Therefore, the feeling of isolation from the poem is augmented inadvertently by the software program. Despite all that, a meaning can be drawn from the poem so long as one knows how to slow down the program to be able to soak it in.

Poemstar
A poem generator that was distributed on Art Com Electronic Network (ACEN) starting in late 1989 and for at least a couple of years following this. PoemStar promised to do the following: - Make your very own files of verses, ideas, metaphors, associations, and seeds of innvovation. - Share your meme files within the ACEN and other Computer Integrated Art (CIA) networks. According to Kytöhonka's writings, during the first two months in late 1989 some 300 subscribers registered and started to use PoemStar. However, there are no known copies of the work as of May 2015. If you have any further information about this work, please contact Petri Kuljuntausta , a sound artist and sound historian who (as of May 2015) is working on a documentary film about early Finnish computer art.
