Zinhar is part visual poetry and part multimedia game: a representation of a future bioscan in slow motion, complete with inevitable delays, errors and complications. To complete the scan for life, the user must investigate each scene and perform simple tasks that will either enable access to new scenes or activate a section of the master barcode.

It is a collaboration between Chris Joseph and the Turkish visual poetry magazine 'Zinhar', in Turkish and English, designed and programmed by Chris Joseph and featuring poetry by Serkan Isin, Derya Vural, Deniz Tuncel, Baris Cetinkol, Asli Serin, Abraham Abulafia and Chris Joseph, with additional illustrations by Keith Martin and Escha Romain.
