Visual
Games for Words & Sounds. Hyperpoems for the Macintosh.
(Intelibooks, 1993. Diskette). This is a sort of Dada adventure.
Caulfield's hyperpoems are also visual poems--poems which
are both literature and visual art. And some of them should
just be called rhythms or musical poems, because they are
closely linked to music. To enjoy these poems the reader may
play an active role, close to that of the author. The viewing
and reading and listening of these poems, therefore, depends
considerably on the curiosity and mood of the reader-author.
Book
of XXXIX Steps. A poetry game of discovery and imagination.
CD-ROM (Intelibooks, 1999). Version 1. 0 for the Apple Macintosh.
Multimedia and design by Servando González. This CD-Rom
connects thirty nine links (or steps) of poetry, art, and
sound that the reader navigates by passing through windows
and doorways, while having the option of investigating individual
links more thoroughly, clicking on words or objects in the
room.
About the CD-ROM:
"Book
of the XXXIX Steps is the finest hyperbook in existence.
It is superb!"
—Tobías
Winckelmann.
"This
Book is a perfect hyper poetic landscape: a visual
bonanza of fragmented paintings, collages, illustrations
of medieval symbols, photographs of the author and of
cats."
—María
Archuleta.
