1. Google Earth: A Poem for Voice and Internet

   This highly professional video documents a live performance of this poem, which uses primarily three materials: speeches by presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, and Google Earth. These works are brought together in a political and economic mashup that incorporates texts read aloud by Portela in English and translated to Spanish and Portuguese, voice recordings of the speeches, and a large projected video of Google Earth navigating to parts of the world that resonate with the poem. Portela intervenes upon these materials in a variety of ways, defamiliarizing them towards the poetic, emphasizing particular words or passages by isolating and repeating them, and placing them in conversation with its other materials through juxtaposition and superposition.

3. Sintext-W

   'Sintext-W' (1999-2000) is a Java version for the Web of the text generator 'Sintext,' (1993) with the collaboration by José Manuel Torres. According to the Web Java demo, 'Sintext-W' can be understood as: In this space the cybernaut can have a first contact with the automatic text generator 'Sintext-W' (Text Synthesizer). The user can visualize the automatic generation of 3 generative texts available here: · 'Didáctica' (example) · 'Balada de Portugal' (extract) · 'Teoria do Homem Sentado' (fragment) For this purpose it is enough that the user clicks on the buttons located below, under the 2nd display window; in the 1st window one may consult the matrix-text which originates it. The text's flow rate may be accelerated or delayed by two controllers; the user can also choose to execute the texts in an endless cycle as a continuous creation of new meanings.

4. Computer Poetry

   Silvestre Pestana programmed in BASIC, first for a Sinclair ZX-81 and ZX-82, and then, already with chromatic lighting, for a Sinclair ZX Spectrum, three poems respectively dedicated to Henri Chopin, E. M. de Melo e Castro and Julian Beck, which resulted in the Computer Poetry (1981-83) series. Pestana, a visual artist, writer and performer – who had returned from the exile in Sweden after Portugal’s Carnation Revolution of April 25, 1974 – brought diverse influences put forward with photography, video, performance, and computer media. From his creative production, it should be emphasized the iconic conceptual piece Povo Novo [New People] (1975), which was remediated by the author himself in the referred series of kinetic visual poems, or “infopoems” (Melo e Castro 1988: 57).

5. Złe słowa / Angry Words

   Gra stanowi propozycję innej metodologii lektury: czytania jako niszczenia. Przy pomocy garści poręcznych wulgaryzmów czytelnik postawiony jest przed radosną koniecznością rozmontowywania monumentalnych tekstów kultury. Przeniesienie mechaniki Angry Birds do sfery tekstu jest drogą do nirwany. Projekt bezdyskusyjnie zwyciężył w konkursie na utwór nowomedialny ogłoszonym przez Korporację Ha!art w 2012 roku.

6. Przemówienia / Speeches

   This generator, dedicated to politicians, is good proof that Pampuch succeeded especially well in the tricky art of imitating the kind of political discourse which in Polish is called “grass-talk” or “empty talk”. The algorithm perfectly fulfills its stylistic constraints—generating a text that does not have to carry any concrete content or message.
