«Antero de Alda has opened
recentry new ways about poetry livened up for computer, introducing
several interaction techniques and multimeasured in its works, through
programming in Javascript and Flash.»
«His art is
shamelessly and brilliantly avant-garde.
It is compounded of
poetry, sound and movement, and may be categorized as programming art or
Web art. It relies heavily on JavaScript and Flash. It is not conventional
digital art by any means but it is certainly digital art with a difference.»
