2×6 consists of short “stanzories”—stanzas that are also stories, each one relating an encounter between two people. Appearing in English, French, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, and Polish, the stanzories are generated by a similar underlying process, even as they do not correspond to one another the way a translation typically does to a source text. These sixfold verses are generated by six short computer programs, the code of which is also presented in full. These simple programs can endlessly churn out combinatorial lines that challenge to reader to determine to whom “she” and “he,” and “him” and “her,” refer, as well as which is the more powerful one, which the underdog. Generating 2×6 is a simple process, and readers are invited to study the programs and even modify them to make new sorts of text generators. Reading the output can be much more difficult, as the text that is produced crosses syntax with power relations and gender stereotypes, multiplying those complexities across six languages.

Собак ненавидел. Услышанная еще в волчачьем возрасте “Охота на волков” совершенно потрясла, хотя не знал еще ни слова из людского языка. И на гитаре играть не умел, хотя папа-волк показывал, как дергать зубами за струны, чтобы они начинали выть — не так как мы, волки, тоньше и короче, но сердце все равно стонало в ответ. Зато магнитофон умел включать сам, оттопыривая один коготь и аккуратно нажимая им на черную кнопочку.He hated dogs. As a wolf puppy, he heard the Wolf Hunt story that compelled him, even though he couldn't understand a word of the human language. He couldn't play the guitar either, tho Dad Wolf had shown him how to pull the strings with fangs—and the strings howled in reply. Their howl wasn't like that of the wolves, it was shorther and had a higher pitch, and yet it did appeal to the heart. However, he was indeed able to hit the Play button of the cassette player with a neatly drawn-out talon.
