The NEXT | TAO

"As this poem of less than twenty words runs its course, video of zooming down a road explodes across the screen accompanied by the music of passing wind. Tao is a momentary experience that attains a meditative pace very unusual in computing and in modern life, while at the same time evoking the reality of violence." -- from Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 1
