She has earned degrees from the University of Barcelona and the University of Pennsylvania. She served as President of Feministas Unidas, Inc., President of ALDEEU (Spanish Professionals in America), and President of AEGS (Association of Gender and Sexuality Studies).

Critical reception

Her creative work has been defined as a crossover between literary writing, digital art, video and multimedia projects.[7]

In the year 2000 she published the hypertextual poem VeloCity, considered a pioneer in the field of digital poetry in Spanish,[5] and one of "the first hypertextual works written by women."[6]

According to scholars and media critics María Goicoechea and Laura Sánchez, "Hypertext is, for Tina Escaja, the insignia of this new cyberfeminism that proposes a ‘non-essential modern subject’." The same critics note a change in this perception in Escaja's project Código de barras, a project based on barcode technology: “now technology is used to compel us to think about a perturbing reality of control and dominion.”[6]

Media critic Maya Zalbidea sees in her interactive hypertextual novel Pinzas de metal an example of electronic Cut-up technique,[8] and also states that "the multilinearity of the story provides the reader a feeling of intrigue and bewilderment."[9]

Regarding her award-winning poetry collection Caída libre, the writer and critic Sabas Martín finds connections with the innovating poetry of César Vallejo, and the images created by Federico García Lorca and Gabriela Mistral.[10]

Her work has been featured at Ciberfeminismos, tecnotextualidades y transgéneros. Literatura digital en español escrita por mujeres. Isabel Navas Ocaña and Dolores Romero Eds. Universidad Complutense, 2023[11] and Voces encendidas. Mujeres, arte y tecnología. María Goicoechea y Laura Sánchez (ed.) Madrid, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2023[12]
