Summary/Abstract: This article explores the discourse that is currently evolving on account of a collision between the literary text and structures that are typical of classic video games. Kubiński discusses this relatively recent artistic phenomenon – which belongs to the register of the avant-garde – with reference to the Mexican writer and artist Benjamin R. Moreno Ortiz’s collection Concretoons: Poesía digital. The discourse that evolves through such works does not have a linguistic but an (audio)visual, digital-kinetic and, above all, a play¬able character, forming an intersemiotic hybrid that engages a variety of media forms.
