The Channel Surfing technique is an aleatory literary technique in which a text is created by writing the first words, phrase or sentence spoken on television while rapidly channel surfing. Most commonly, the surfing technique is used to offer a non-linear alternative to traditional poetry and storytelling.

Channel Zero contains 22 poems composed of 61 lines from 61 different cable television channels written in succession from various starting points.
