CAPTCHA Poem@

This CAPTCHA Poem@ belongs to a larger “oleatory” poem/project titled “Mar y virus / Virus and the Sea,” in which humans, poetry and technology intersect to address the COVID pandemic. The original CAPTCHA acronym is therefore transferred into a new ontology of inclusion and exchange, redefined as “Completely Automated Public test to Tie Computers and Humans as Allies.”  Under a constant expectation of “not touching,” this new paradigm also allows for both distance and connection, a paradox not exempt from anxiety within an environment under siege.
