"Mezangelle seems to really take something *from* the code and bring it into speech, to recognize some element in a nevertheless masculinist programming language as feminist, as worth freeing from its context and allowing it to work in some other way..."

- Ebuswell, Critical Code Studies Working Group 2014.

"There are several pieces where text, sound, movement and interactivity all seek to support one another in a complex lyrical or narrative whole.....an example of an enhanced package [is] from _][ad][Dressed in a Skin C.ode_ by Mary-Anne Breeze [alias mez], with its invented mezangelle system [which shows] her enthusiasm for elaborate punning and inventive programming...."

-Robert Coover's keynote address at ELO's State of the Arts Symposium 2002.

"...Mez reaches into the very structure of the word, creating an entire para-language, called "m[ez]ang.elle," which is readable by readers of English, but only at the cost of a dramatically slowed reading speed. She organizes textual performances which she designates as e-mail trawling, hacker attacking, open source kode poetri, or electronic channeling. Though this work uses many of the devices of so-called L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry, fluid spacing, bracketing, and ambiguous punctuation to obtain a simultaneity of reference that tests fixed neuronal patterns, it also tests these, simultaneously, through choreographed and random kinetic oscillations of the Web environment, re-converting the process of reading to a process of action, perhaps somewhat akin to what oral cultures undertook when print first spread through them."

"Model Citizens: Their Urban Strechnology Kit and info-mercials illustrate broader issues of d.i.y activism, access, personhood, and the changing climate towards technology and identity......Using the devices found in computer languages and applying them meaningfully to natural language, Mez [Mary Anne Breeze] employs a polysemic use of language in net-based textual works that highlight the potentialities of language play and identity swapping in communicating alternative meanings and responding to world events."

"... i dont know how others find it, but i do tons of programming and [mez's] style is just the most delightful play on coding. i kinda think of her as a cross between James Joyce and... Larry Wall -- author of the Perl programming language and a linguist by training....."
