1. Poemas no meio do caminho

   This  is a combinatory text. There are two versions of the text – two ways of reading it: horizontally and vertically. Both versions allow the reader to save her own textual production, and then to send that production to a weblog. The reader can recombine the text according to the paradigmatic axis of language: the reader selects, the machine morphs/combines. However,  some “obligatory” options resist. By quoting Dante, Poemas no meio do caminho is a metaphor of the reading practice: “poemas no meio do caminho da leitura” (“poems midway upon the journey of reading”). It suggests an ephemeral poetic construction that appears and vanishes in a click. On the one hand these poems destroy the sacredness of the poetic language; on the other they realize the poïesis.This work has won (ex-aequo) the 4t Premi Internacional "Ciutat de Vinaròs" de Literatura Digital.

2. Taroko Gorge

   A poetry generator produced first in Python and then implemented in Javascript, Montfort's "Taroko Gorge" generates nature poetry about the national park of the same name in Taiwan. Since its initial publication, the program has been hacked, remixed, and reimplemented by a number of other authors.

3. Between Page and Screen

   Coupling the physicality of the printed page with the electric liquidity of the computer screen, Between Page and Screen chronicles a love affair between the characters P and S while taking the reader into a wondrous, augmented reality. The book has no words, only inscrutable black and white geometric patterns that—when seen by a computer webcam—conjure the written word. Reflected on screen, the reader sees himself with open book in hand, language springing alive and shape-shifting with each turn of the page. The story unfolds through a playful and cryptic exchange of letters between P and S as they struggle to define their turbulent relationship. Rich with innuendo, anagrams, etymological and sonic affinities between words, Between Page and Screen takes an almost ecstatic pleasure in language and the act of reading. Merging concrete poetry with conceptual art, “technotext” with epistolary romance, and the tradition of the artist’s book with the digital future, Between Page and Screen expands the possibilities of what a book can be.

4. Tipoemas y Anipoemas

   "Anipoemas" son poemas animados en los que las letras explican el contenido del título del poema. La autora juega con la semántica, utilizando significantes para expresar un significado. En "Paronama desde un tren" las letras "t" en movimiento se convierten en los tendidos eléctricos de la luz que veríamos desde un tren. En "Hojas rojas secas" las letras caen simulando el movimiento de las hojas. En "Gimnasia" las letras parecen hacer ejercicios, provocando la sonrisa del lector ante tal sorpresa divertida. En "Primavera" las letras "q" y "p" parecen flores creciendo desde el suelo. Estos poemas animados invitan a los lectores a divertirse y sorprenderse encontrando un lenguaje poético por medio de sencillas letras animadas. (Origen: Maya Zalbidea)
