Tina Escaja (born 1965 in Zamora, Spain), also known as Alm@ Pérez,[1] is a Spanish-American writer, activist, feminist scholar and digital artist based in Burlington, Vermont.
"[6] According to scholars and media critics María Goicoechea and Laura Sánchez, "Hypertext is, for Tina Escaja, the insignia of this new cyberfeminism that proposes a ‘non-essential modern subject’."
The same critics note a change in this perception in Escaja's project Código de barras, a project based on barcode technology: “now technology is used to compel us to think about a perturbing reality of control and dominion.”[6] Media critic Maya Zalbidea sees in her interactive hypertextual novel Pinzas de metal an example of electronic Cut-up technique,[8] and also states that "the multilinearity of the story provides the reader a feeling of intrigue and bewilderment.
