This came out of a experimentation of trying to convert any websites to an interactive fictions, right after a discussions on web accessibility and the accessibility tree. There was an overlap of performativeness induced by screen reader and the idea of telling a website slowly letting you navigate through every of it's element individually like if it was a space and you where a character in the space.
The poem goes as follow
/* make everything invisible */
*{
opacity: 0;
transition: 1s opacity;
}
/* only show what has focus */
*:focus,
*:has(:focus){
opcaity: 1;
}
/* on any webpage, you can press TAB
to focus the next element.

It was handwritten on the vitrine of Constant during for collective rendering of a research session.
