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.
For readers who want to inspect the work's research apparatus, the Research Annex gathers its first methodological appendix, the speculative indices, and the accompanying data package.
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 keeps returning to the same instant: the moment a source is still alive, before it settles into a single meaning. He trained in dramatic literature at the University of Art, Tehran, and in industrial engineering at Sharif University of Technology, and has spent the years since moving that instant across media — writing for the stage, writing for gallery walls, and finally building it into working interfaces. The Black Bird is where that movement lands: a hypergraph poem that keeps a source addressable instead of resolved.
