Description
Summary:This article proposes a reading of two versions of “Ars poetica”, a code poem by Alejandro Corredor Parra, based on the contributions of the so-called “Critical Code Studies”. The era of the electronic revolution promotes the emergence of experimental literary writing practices, the reading of which requires deepening digital literacy and the creation of appropriate theoretical frameworks, for which CCS constitute an unavoidable contribution. Although Corredor Parra's text appears originally published on paper, it is a functional program, a fact that shakes the status of the artistic piece, by unfolding it into two dimensions: one linked to its significant materiality (as a literary text) and another with its performative potential in a digital device (as computer code).
