1. IO (Kac)

   Three-dimensional navigational poem in which the letters/numbers I and O appear as elements of an imaginary landscape. IO is "I" in Italian. In this piece it also stands for reconciled differences (one/zero, line/circle, etc.). The reader is invited to explore the space created by the stylized letters/numbers and experience it both as an abstract environment and as a visual text.

2. L'où

   “L’où” by Philippe Bootz published first in 1990 in alire 3, is a work of animated poetry that has no images, that has no sounds, but that demands a strong engagement from the viewer only with the words on the screen. Being a transitory text where the text changes without interaction of the viewer, one sees firstly the word “que” and groups of letters, “aill” and “vaill” , that move, but that do not make complete words. Then, the letters form “vaill/que/aille” perhaps referencing the commonly used French phrase “vaille que vaille”, creating a syntactic animation where the text is in tension between the reading (and interpretation) of the text on the space of the screen and the reading of the text within the transitory development and evolution of the work. In a similar manner, the title follows this motif of a phrase that is not complete, but that represents something more important than the words alone. This work evokes the theme of shipwreck that is supported by a lexicon of words pertaining to water, or the ocean, and to destruction.
