Tell me a secret is a graphic interpretation project of secrets between different communities through a graphic communication workshop. 

The project has three objectives: share, interpret and preserve. We share your secret with some other anonymous community where we give the workshop. We interpret it, we make your secret something of ours, of everyone. Finally, we preserve it, through editorial and online materials. It is also part of a bank of secrets that we exhibit from time to time. 

This is an artist's talk about "Ocotillo." It is a textual and visual work. The basic idea is to read from generated arrangements of textual strings, performing real-time versions of poetic works. These are not generator works but deliberate modifications within textual fields, a continuing stage in the evolution of this particular, and literary rooted form of practice. The objective of this creative work is to push these kinds of concentrated poetic textuality further, offering it as one possible direction in the field.

A lost work that according to the author's later description of PoemStar (1989) was a meme generator created in collaboration with Pekka Tolonen, the composer and AI expert. From the description of PoemStar:

The aim of Runeberg was straightout: the computer is a medium and its message differs from the bardic tradition, as that voice-resident and era-active poetry diverses from the printed literature. When Gutenberg & Co invented moveable type they made the literature unmovable. They did more than spring the Bible. Or their invention ultimately provided a meaning-proof shed, an opportunity for the consolidation of language. --Shakespeare jumped on that opportunity. He reconfigured poetry bringing together history, tragedy, and comedy under its roof.

Poetry in print became more permanet, less permutable: more visual, less aural. But at that time we didn't have a computer to free us from that mental and verbal stiffness.

The typewriter, produced by manufacturers of firearms since early 1870, made not only the poem, the scriptum, even more linear, but affected the process of writing and reading by forcing even the reader to stay int eh bullet-straight rows of letter.

The computer changes the linear message. It is a medium based on no kind of types.

The computer is a fundamentally new medium.
For the first time in the history of the written language since the disc-shaped Linear A 1600 B.C. at Crete the writer not only is able to write on disc, but he/she is now uncommitted from the discipline of rows and columns and circles.
--To defend typewriter against computer aided text processing would be as meaningful as arguing how the solo cello sounds greater than any chamber orchestra.
And the readers can feel safe: the computer poetry threatens the existence of printed book as remotely as the camera affected the fine arts.

A poem generator that was distributed on Art Com Electronic Network (ACEN) starting in late 1989 and for at least a couple of years following this. PoemStar promised to do the following:

- Make your very own files of verses, ideas, metaphors, associations, and seeds of innvovation.
- Share your meme files within the ACEN and other Computer Integrated Art (CIA) networks.

According to Kytöhonka's writings, during the first two months in late 1989 some 300 subscribers registered and started to use PoemStar. However, there are no known copies of the work as of May 2015. If you have any further information about this work, please contact Petri Kuljuntausta , a sound artist and sound historian who (as of May 2015) is working on a documentary film about early Finnish computer art.

permafrost is a poetry chapbook by Álvaro Seiça. permafrost launches ‘The Proposal Series,’ a collaborative editorial project by Bypass Editions and Flatland Design.

On September 15, 2008, the newspaper Público published an article about the world’s most northern town, Longyearbyen, Norway, which chronicled the unusual life and habits of the researchers that study the Arctic and its permafrost, the permanently frozen subsoil.

Inspired by this text, Álvaro Seiça wrote a series of sms poems with 140 characters, challenging not only the boundaries between informative text and fictional text, but also the meaning of poetic text, poem, poetic sources, and line break.
