1. First Screening: Computer Poems

   A suite of a dozen kinetic poems programmed in Apple BASIC. Later, as the first versions became inaccessible, the works were recreated in HyperCard in the early 1990s (after bpNichol's death), and then in 2007 recreated in javascript for the web, and simultaneously the original BASIC and Hypercard files were republished for download.

2. Poem by Nari does Windows

   This hypertext poem examines language and instructions from help menus and other documentation in the Windows 98 operating system, juxtaposing it with texts and images from other sources (credited in “Windows”) as well as with original material. The formatting for the Windows texts is designed for readers to read them clearly, allowing for Microsoft’s prosaic, utilitarian voice to emerge clearly and deliver instructions for procedures that seem unnecessarily complex. The “Poem by Nari” texts (Warnell’s poetic persona) are made strange and poetic through visual formatting: primarily by eliminating spaces between words, arranging streams of texts in columns, and capitalizing by constraint rather than by convention.

3. Liberdade

   Liberdade [Freedom in Portuguese] is a collaborative digital creation that promotes a dialogue between poetry and videogame languages. Both immersive and interactive, integrating poetic language and technological forms, the work reproduces parts of Liberdade, a neighborhood in São Paulo, allowing users to metaphorically explore the concept of memory. These programmed environments can be saved by readers as personal memories. The convergence of stories (mostly microtales), animations (such as stop-motion and video fragments), poems, and a variety of sound textures, provides an experience that challenges ways of reading and writing in programmed 3D environments. Created at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil, in 2013, by Chico Marinho and Alckmar Santos, with the help of programmer Lucas Junqueira and writer Álvaro Andrade Garcia, a future version of this complex simulated experience will evolve into a multiplayer version, in which different readers/users will be able to interact with each other's memories of the reading experience.

4. unicode infinite

   This app developed for the iOS environment is a reworking of a video work titled Unicode (2012) which “shows all displayable characters in the unicode range 0 - 65536 (49571 characters). One character per frame.” The video lasts about 33 minutes and has a sound component which he didn’t use for the app. The app adds a simple user interface which allows speeding up or slowing down the character display, shaking for random access to the characters, and an interactive function that uses the touchscreen interface and the accelerometer. This is a conceptual work which allows us to appreciate the rich palette of characters and symbols written languages from around the world offer and can be accessed when encoded in the Unicode standard.
