"Tina Escaja is a Spanish author, digital artist and scholar based in Burlington, Vermont." "In VeloCity the typography and movement of the words connect with the messages and feelings expressed. It is a kinetic, hypertextual poem similar to Slipping Glimpse by Stephanie Strickland and El rumor de los álamos by óscar Martín Centeno. The poem has been online since 2000 and is one of the first known poems of Spanish kinetic poetry. It follows the tradition of creationist poetry by Spanish poets like Juan Larrea and Gerardo Diego through its use of experimental typography and visual effects. The interface guides the direction and expressive movements of the reader: rising (feeling joyful), falling down (descending to subconscious thoughts), choosing colored words and paths, leaving empty spaces between words in order to create mystery and unexpected meaning." -- From Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 3
