book review: not a b (pdp remix)
Favoring statistical innovation, discovery, and transformation of material more than subjectivity, my presentation for TRICKHOUSE, “book review: not a b (pdp remix),” is a software experiment that brings together multiple projects, interests, and themes. This reflection, in part an autobiographical exercise in creating multimedia poetry, does not effectively simulate the more extensive synthesis of related materials I have elsewhere assembled (featuring additional videographic, performative components, and many more poems) but is a decent representation of what I have been working on in 2008. The animation is the latest and longest (approximately 22 minutes, give or take) of a series of text-movies I began creating with Flash in early 2007. Slow scat, and sometimes random juxtaposition, of anagrammatic text derived from the title of a book I wrote, is spontaneously plotted (with assistance from the Internet Anagram server (http://wordsmith.org/anagram/). Works by mIEKAL aND, John Cayley, and Brian Stefans have inspired me to such poesis.

Accidental Meaning
Interested in the breaking and production of meanings, the non-semantic the visual, the oral, the blank page, the engagement of the reader/user in theshifting from the linguistic to the visual and back. To represent the broken and the formations of new meanings, I create an aesthetic environment consisting of a blank page/screen, inviting the reader/user to click/touch the screen in order to generate words. The installation includes a microphone to invite the users to read aloud and share with other users the experience of performing the work through their oral participation. As the user explores and experiences the work by connecting the random words appearing in the screen and assembling definitions, the accidental position of words produce new relationships, and in doing so, an on going process of meanings, connections and narratives; of shifting from the semantic linguistic meaning to the visual, from the literal, the transparent to the abstract; and simultaneously creating a poetic space of juxtaposed words, layers, and visual textualities.

Talking Cure
Talking Cure is an installation that includes live video processing, speech recognition, and a dynamically composed sound environment. It is about seeing, writing, and speaking — about word pictures, the gaze, and cure. It works with the story of Anna O, the patient of Joseph Breuer's who gave to him and Freud the concept of the "talking cure" as well as the word pictures to substantiate it. The reader enters a space with a projection surface at one end and a high-backed chair, facing it, at another. In front of the chair are a video camera and microphone. The video camera's image of the person in the chair is displayed, as text, on the screen. This "word picture" display is formed by reducing the live image to three colors, and then using these colors to determine the mixture between three color-coded layers of text. One of these layers is from Joseph Breuer's case study of Anna O. Another layer of text consists of the words "to torment" repeated — one of the few direct quotations attributed to Anna in the case study.

l0ve0ne
L0ve0ne (Eastgate Web Workshop) was first told as an additive social networked story, on the Interactive Conference on Arts Wire, beginning in the fall of 1994. Each lexia was posted as a separate entry on the conferencing system. Portions of L0ve0ne were ported in different forms in servers all over the country, including the Arts Conference on The WELL. The story integrates hacker culture, early Internet technologies, a German "road trip"; and a love story that continues in Malloy's The Roar of Destiny. The first person is used, as it is in many of Malloy's other works, as a narrative device that not only effects the telling, in that it allows the writer to disclose the details of the main character's life in an intimate way, but also effects the reading, in that it situates the reader directly in the main character's life and environment.

The Ed Report
The Ed Report is a hypertextual US government document, describing the covert military exploits of a technical writer named Ed. (The coincidentally-named Ed Commission produced this once top-secret report.) Epic hero Ed leaves off his ordinary life - in which he writes software documentation, takes care of his autistic younger brother, and pursues early Near Eastern scholarship - as he is pressed into service as an Akkadian code-talker during an undercover operation in Colombia.

exquisite_code
exquisite_code is an algorithmic performance system for heterogeneous groups of writers. The writers generate prompts and responses for var1 minute session at the end of which computational devices select/mangle text according to var2 edit. Mangled text outputs get displayed to writers who, in unrelenting sessions, generate further prompts and responses, with chunk on chunk piled up to create a c[ad]aver[n]ous exquisite_code life-work.

Marginalia in the Library of Babel
"Marginalia in the Library of Babel" presents a metafictional, metahypertextual narrative about one man's discovery of his ability to write in the margins of the Internet, to finally make his marks on the infinite network, marks that will ultimately lead to his erasure.
The piece is written through annotations written upon web pages archived from the Internet all related to Borges and the many implementations of his work, partial and abandoned though they be, that litter the Internet.

Stravinsky's Muse
"Stravinsky's Muse" is a flash-based hypertext that offers a lexical sphere as a set of dials for accessing the narrative via the semantic constructs in the mind of its protagonist, Stravinsky Jones. Each segment of narrative is complemented by a definition of one of the chosen terms in the form it takes in Jones' lexicon.
