The Iterations web page reading This too, is just a fragment. Trace it, hold it, or let it drift

Iterations (Online), 2025

Iterations (Online) continues Iterations, the printed work Oriente gave away at Parallax, A Trace. Here the poem she wrote runs through a Markov chain in the browser, which rearranges her lines by probability each time a visitor generates a new fragment. Some come out clear and others only half formed.

Under each fragment are two buttons: Save, which downloads it as an image, or Let it drift. No two visitors are given the same text.
