This article explores the intersections between the poetic works of Fernando Pessoa and electronic literature, emphasizing the role of technology in reimagining his literary legacy. It reflects on the practice of integrating various technologies into poetic creation, from multimedia and interactivity to dialogues with artificial intelligence. The importance of revisiting classic works, such as those of Pessoa, using digital tools to expand the reading experience is addressed. Electronic literature is seen as an emerging field that allows for new forms of expression and interaction, transforming reading into a multidimensional experience. The advantages of experimental and creative approaches, which both honor and revitalize preexisting literary works, are discussed. Pessoa's work is presented as proto-digital, varied, and modular, aligned with the practices of electronic literature as it explores the fragmentation of identity and multiplicity of voices. It is concluded that electronic literature offers new perspectives and didactic methods for understanding Pessoa's work, promoting forms of critical rereading.
