1. Under Language

   "Under Language" is the latest in my series of textual instruments, a term I borrowed from John Cayley many years ago to describe things that might look like literature, but also like structures for play, though not necessarily what we would call games.

   In fact, this one lies pretty close to game space, having rules, a scoring system (albeit invisible), and even a simple agon in which you compete against the perversity of the puzzle-maker, and constraints of the clock.

   The phrase "under-language" was invented by the comics artist, Alan Moore, in an interview he gave in the early 1980s. He used it to describe the essence of comics art, which is neither verbal nor visual, but something that underlies and infuses both modes. The term gets at the essence behind Moore's great genius for irony and verbal-visual puns. It also provides a convenient reminder that everything, these days, tends to mean more than it seems.

3. Pinzas de metal

   Pinzas de metal was designed with Flash by Didier Delmas and written by Tina Escaja in 2003. It is an interactive hypertext novel which explores the daily life of young people, the places where they go and the objects that join them and take them apart in time and space. Their curiosity for travel, love, sex and drugs will take them to sublime states in which they will look for their own self and they will try to fill their feeling of emptiness with the presence of “the other”. The reader must use a magnifying glass to select a character, a place and an object and discover different stories within the same one. The multilinearity of the story provides the reader a feeling of intrigue and bewilderment. (Description written by Maya Zalbidea Paniagua)
