1. GRAMMATRON

   Inspired by Derrida's Of Grammatology, Mark Amerika experiments in GRAMMATRON with narrative form in a networked environment. Amerika retells the Jewish Golem myth by adapting it into the culture of programmable media and remixing several genres of text into the story's hybridized style, including metafiction, hypertext, cyberpunk, and conceptual works affiliated with the Art+Language group.

   Narrated from various authorial perspectives, the story introduces readers to Abe Golam, a pioneering Net artist who creates Grammatron, a writing machine. Endowed not with the Word (as in the original myth) but with forbidden data—a specially coded Nanoscript—the creature becomes a digital being that "contains all of the combinatory potential of all the writings." The Grammatron is the personification of the Golem, which is also a personification of Amerika the artist. While the Golem and its environment have been depicted in any number of literary adaptations and works, in GRAMMATRON, Mark Amerika creates a seemingly infinite, recombinant (text-)space in the electrosphere.

3. worm applepie for doehl

   While concrete poetry in print combines linguistic and graphic qualities of words, in digital media time and interaction are two additional ways of expression. Words can appear, move, disappear, and they can do this all in reaction to the perceiver’s input. [...] If a still can progress into a movie, the worm of course can eat the apple as in Johannes Auer’s digital adaptation worm applepie for doehl.

4. Tipoemas y Anipoemas

   "Anipoemas" son poemas animados en los que las letras explican el contenido del título del poema. La autora juega con la semántica, utilizando significantes para expresar un significado. En "Paronama desde un tren" las letras "t" en movimiento se convierten en los tendidos eléctricos de la luz que veríamos desde un tren. En "Hojas rojas secas" las letras caen simulando el movimiento de las hojas. En "Gimnasia" las letras parecen hacer ejercicios, provocando la sonrisa del lector ante tal sorpresa divertida. En "Primavera" las letras "q" y "p" parecen flores creciendo desde el suelo. Estos poemas animados invitan a los lectores a divertirse y sorprenderse encontrando un lenguaje poético por medio de sencillas letras animadas. (Origen: Maya Zalbidea)
