1. Compréhension

   Compréhension/Comprendre is a piece by Annie Abrahams (1997/1998) that explores the ideas of identity, perception and the fluidity of these two concepts. The piece begins with a pink screen and two pieces of text. In one corner, the reader sees the statement, “Vous ne me comprendrez jamais.” (You will never understand me) And in another corner there is a question, “Pourquoi pas?” ( Why not?) On this first page (and also on other pages throughout) the author gives the reader a choice. By clicking on the hyperlinks, the reader has the impression that he or she is talking with a person. The program becomes a sort of artificial being. Here, one has the choice to accept the declaration, or to argue it.

3. Mind Machine

   In this performance, an intersemiotic translation occurs between the visual artist’s demoscene videos and the performer’s live text generation. The performance continues the tradition of looking at electronic literature as something that is also created in front of a live, physically present audience. It challenges the notion of digitally native writing in that, as long as the writing is being performed by a human and not by a machine, there is always an organic, bodily dimension to everything natively digital. How can human writing then be born digital, if we are to take the term literally? In this sense, the performance re-situates the human performer. In another version of the performance, shown earlier in 2017, a robot writes in parallel and on stage with the human performer. In Porto, though, we'll leave the robot at home or have it only telepresent to bring attention to the contrast of human and machine embodiment in electronic writing.
