"Mez Breeze embraces the medium of digital writing, producing highly original work with striking visual force. We were impressed by the diversity of her creative practice and her willingness to present daring writing in an accessible way. We think that writers like Mez are redefining contemporary poetry." - Judges for the 2015 Thiel Grant Award for Online Writing.

"You probably know the fabulous Mez for her signature codework language mezangelle or for her fabulous collaborations with Andy Campbell, but Mez was also one of my chief mentors in netprov. Back when Workstudy Seth was running my social media, Mez gave me advice from afar, guiding me away from some real "danger zones," as Archer would call them. Truly with her online personas, she's been performing one of the longest-running netprovs around. In our special issue of Hyperrhiz, Mez presents two #netprovs: #OutsideurDoor and _feralC. Read about them and sample some transcripts here." - Mark Marino, Hyperrhiz.

[On"Human Readable Messages"] "[A] classic...A sea of linguistic invention: unsurpassed technical innovation in terms of print language. Reading the various passages for the first time I felt I was privy to a new form of expression not merely a creole or amalgam, something really new. Mez is brilliant." - Michael J. Maguire

"Code Poetry often refers to work such as Mez Breeze’s. Her Mezangelle complicates the line between human and machine communication in a way informed more from a literary tradition than code art’s contemporary art perspective. The broken, code-like assemblages of words layer meanings, but unlike in code art, it’s not important for the resulting piece to function as executable code. Code poetry is a creole between machine and human communication." - Daniel Temkin, "Esoteric.codes"

"This notion of source code as readable - as creating some outcome regardless of its machinic execution - underlies "codework" and other creative projects. The Internet artist Mez, for instance, has created a language called mezangelle that incorporates formal code and informal speech. Mez's poetry deliberately plays with programming syntax, producing language that cannot be executed, but nonetheless draws on the conventions of programming language to signify." - Wendy Chun, "Programmed Visions: Software and Memory".
