Hi Simon,

You are well known for your work in digital poetry. I first encountered your work through
Roberto Simanowski's site at www.dichtung-digital.de . I just visited http://www.babel.uk.net ,
Babel, your "data browser" which is striking visually and in its interactivity.

How do you see the relation of a work like Babel to digital poetry, Simon? And what roles do you
see programming playing in the piece?
