Code Poems: 2010-2019 by Fancesco Aprile with an introduction by Volodymyr Bilyk is available now at Amazon!
This book is a collection of "Code poems" that the author wrote between
2010 and 2019. He used different languages: pseudocode, Html with
Javascript, Css, Php and Laravel, found code, command-line executions
and git, errors log from Katalon, Mvn and Katalium. The recent history
of writing provides a large part of the context for the reception of the
information technology in literature. After a high school diploma about
information technology, the author studied Science of Philosophy.
During degree course, he matured the idea to work on relations between
code and poetry. His first research in this field takes the name of
"Poetic algorithm" (2010). With his first poetic algorithm, written in
pseudocode, he won in 2016 the Source Code Poetry Challenge in "Most
artistic" category. Code poems are cracks in the technical workflow, a
poetic manumission in a language that is stranger for the poetry. Codes
reveal the differential state of themselves as writing and poem, but
these are always codes.
"Aprile is the Jeff Wall of techno-debris. His poems are short circuits, cracks in a technical workflow, hidden in plain sight inside a cityscape of stack traces."
—Nick Pelling, blogger at Cipher Mysteries
