Este artigo discute a emergência de um género de práticas zoopoéticas tecnologicamente mediadas e computacionalmente interligadas. Abordo esta discussão através de uma análise da zoopoética contemporânea, recorrendo primeiro a exemplos de literatura impressa, como a poesia de e. e. cummings e o diálogo poético animal da romancista Laura Jean McKay. Em seguida, considero a forma como as tecnologias digitais e a estética digital têm o potencial de acrescentar modos e imaginários às práticas autorais zoopoéticas. Apresento a zoopoética digital através da criação de duas interfaces digitais relacionadas: The (m)Otherhood of Meep (2023) e The Songbird Speaks (2024). Estes trabalhos convidam a novos imaginários para a interpretação de sinais interespécies por meio da tecnologia de aprendizagem da máquina, avançando em direção à tradução generativa interespécies como sua própria forma zoopoética. A partir da contribuição prática para a zoopoética que estes trabalhos fazem, ofereço uma série não exaustiva de sugestões de carcaterísticas da estética digital e computacional que surgem como representativas de uma forma de zoopoesia digital.
