How much does a word weight? How would letters and characters behave if they were subjected to physical forces similar to those observed and experienced in the concrete world? Gogoame is a net art experiment that continue the tradition of literary experimentation of concrete and visual poetry, transposing verbal text to a simulated virtual environment in which text spatialization contradicts linearity.
Letters and characters rain and, among the rain, words and phrases are formed. By contemplating the text rain, the website's visitor frequently faces words that are briefly formed while letters are falling; those words are recovered from a database that is composed by texts written by other visitors. If he decides to be a writer, the visitor can make his own texts rain, forming his words and phrases in the constant flux of the rain.
Following the artist's research about the intersections between words and image, Gogoame implements a physics engine (simulating acceleration, gravity, wind and other factors) to spatialize texts and make letters and characters behave as a rain, in a constant and dynamic flux. The work can be accessed at http://gogoame.sumbioun.com
Gogoame (???), when translated from japanese, means afternoon rain.
