A black bird appears beside a body. The scene opens a field.
The Black Bird is a hypergraph research poem by Mohammad Zare. It gives the materials of inquiry a spatial and textual form. A source can return as a scene. A name can keep its pressure. A relation can remain visible before explanation. A mapping note can condense a charged part of the field.
The poem appears as the reader moves among these surfaces. The graph gives contact a place. The Reader gives one pressure duration. The route lets movement leave a trace. Research enters as returnable material; poetry emerges as the arrangement through which that material becomes felt, delayed, and followed.
The object types in The Black Bird are engineered metaphors. Each type gives a pressure a working form inside the field.
The source code is available because The Black Bird is a born-digital poem. Its data model, graph behavior, reader surface, route memory, and interface states belong to the form of the work.
Mohammad Zare is an Iranian poet, researcher, and product/interface practitioner working between dramatic literature, speculative research poetry, curatorial writing, and digital systems. He holds an MA in Dramatic Literature from the University of Art, Tehran, and a BSc in Industrial Engineering from Sharif University of Technology. His work moves between theatre, genetic criticism, artist-book and exhibition frameworks, data/product architecture, and born-digital literary forms. The Black Bird continues this practice as a poem built through field, source, relation, and interface.
