Workshop of Potential Webtexts
About This Project
Babylon Redux transforms Jorge Luis Borges' Library of Babel into a collection of interactive webtexts, combinatorial tools, and algorithmic compositions. Each project combines literary and computational constraints to remix and reconfigure Borges' passages into new digital forms, bridging creative expression with algorithmic play.
Inspired by the playful rigor of OULIPO and Johanna Drucker's work on stochastic poetics, Babylon Redux showcases how computational methods and literary frameworks intersect to make creative writing more interactive, engaging, and adaptable to digital environments.
Project Experiments
Tower Fragments
Deconstructed passages from Borges' "Library of Babel" that users can recombine and transform through interactive category filters revealing philosophical, descriptive, and narrative elements.
Star Signal
Interactive Morse code constellation that encodes fragments of The Library of Babel, arranged in a Fibonacci spiral pattern that reveals hidden messages through user interaction.
Index Loop
Rhythmic dictionary that pulses with 26 Borgesian terms and AI-generated neologisms, cycling through the alphabet at variable speeds mimicking human heartbeat patterns.
Cipher Text
Multi-layered encryption experience featuring Library of Babel text fragments transformed through classical ciphers, with interactive decoding tools and hidden temporal messages.
