The author of this book is the Levenhstein Distance algorithm, the subject is the eucalyptus tree in "Fama y eucalipto", an excerpt from Historias de Cronopios y de Famas by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julio_Cort%C3%A1zar">Julio Cortázar</a>, published in 1962 by Editorial Minotauro. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance">Levenshtein distance</a>, edit distance or word distance is an algorithm that operates in spell checkers. It is the minimum number of operations required to transform one word into another. An operation can be an insertion, deletion or substitution of a character. The algorithm was an invention of Russian scientist Vladimir Levenshtein in 1965.

title: About an Algoliterary Publishing House
slug: about
The project looks into formal narratives generated by algorithms, question the form of the book as an object and authorial product, explore the concept of a ‘decolonial publishing house’ and experiment with the influence of ‘forest baths’ on the writing of code and the communication with trees.
The project looks into formal narratives generated by algorithms, question the form of the book as an object and authorial product, explore the concept of a ‘publishing house’ and experiment with the influence of ‘forest baths’ on the writing of code and the communication with trees.
By putting the tree and its representations at the center of their works, and by welcoming algorithms not at the service of extracting resources or value towards a commercial objective, but for making kin with nature, these intelligences create narratives which speak about trees and also challenge colonial views of classification, methods of standardization, and might speak critically about the effects of dominant cultures. While doing so, they put trees at the center of the creation, and therefore decenter the perspective of the human being.
