Hors Catégorie
Hors Catégorie is an interactive fiction by Chris Calabro and David Benin developed in 2007.
It is possible to play it on almost every system, even on Smartphone.
The used Software is a z-machine Interpreter, which is a game’s requirement as the player needs it in order to emulate an Infocom machine.
It takes place entirely in a single hotel room, with several subrooms. Unlike many adventure-like interactive fictions, location, possessions, and strength are not the main obstacles of this game, but rather player knowledge and moral choices. The point is to explore the inner conflict of the protagonist and shape his character. This is why the typical presence of interactive fictions’ obstacles makes Hors Catégorie innovative and different because here they are the player moral choices.
The title of the game comes from the 'out of category' classification of difficult climbs in the Tour de France, where the game is set. The protagonist is a rider in the Tour, just waking, getting ready to take on the day's current stage.

VAS: An Opera in Flatland
Up until now, everyone alive on earth was bound to one another through African Eve, our last common ancestor, who 5,000 generations ago passed her genes and language to sons and daughters who did the same as they gradually populated the world. Today, however, Square, Circle and the other inhabitants of Flatland have the opportunity to step outside this lineage. To rearrange the bodies of animals, plants, and even themselves. VAS: An Opera in Flatland is the story of Square’s decision to undergo an operation that will leave him sterile for the good of his wife, Circle, for the good of their daughter, Oval, and for the good of society, including the unborn descendants he will never have. VAS is, in other words, the story of finding one’s identity within the double-helix of language and lineage—and Square’s struggle to see beyond the common pages of ordinary, daily life upon which he is drawn.

El libro del fin del mundo
En el siglo XVII, Leibniz propuso crear una enciclopedia que reuniera todos los campos del conocimiento humano. Ésto lo llevó a interesarse por los trabajos de Raimundo Llull, Athanasius Kircher o John Dee y adelantarse en varios siglos a las ideas de Vannevar Bush o Ted Nelson.
El libro del fin del mundo se constituye igualmente como una enciclopedia sólo que en este caso se trata de un corpus inacabado y abierto, proporcionando un cuestionamiento acerca del espacio de identidades y diferencias según las cuales distribuimos, reconocemos y nombramos nuestro mundo.
Con reminiscencias de Aloysius Bertrand, Marcel Schwob o los bestiarios medievales, El libro del fin del mundo plantea la creación de diferentes mundos posibles, universos autónomos, cada uno con su propio orden, leyes y regularidades.
La inclusión de trabajos hipertextuales y el vínculo con el sitio del libro en Internet enfatizan las nociones de no linealidad y bifurcación implícitas en la concepción de la obra.Andrés Pardo Rodriguez - 21.10.2020 - 11:39

Port Bou
De grens tussen Cerbère en Port Bou bestaat uit een klif, een weg die omhoog
slingert en aan de andere kant langs haarspeldbochten neerdaalt, langs het huis van een verlaten douanepost, boven een rots die haast wegglijdt in de zee.Wat betekent het om de grens te weten, die te kennen, te weten wat je vergeet?
