2. Google Earth: A Poem for Voice and Internet

   This highly professional video documents a live performance of this poem, which uses primarily three materials: speeches by presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, and Google Earth. These works are brought together in a political and economic mashup that incorporates texts read aloud by Portela in English and translated to Spanish and Portuguese, voice recordings of the speeches, and a large projected video of Google Earth navigating to parts of the world that resonate with the poem. Portela intervenes upon these materials in a variety of ways, defamiliarizing them towards the poetic, emphasizing particular words or passages by isolating and repeating them, and placing them in conversation with its other materials through juxtaposition and superposition.

3. Penumbra

   Penumbra is a hybrid, re-imagining of the E-book. Crafted for mobile tablets, it carefully integrates gesture, video, interaction design and text. Increasingly, the tablet represents a readership that is poised for rich interactive worlds: new stories for new screens. Authoring with, in and through the tablet platform has the potential to create future literature that redefines our reading practice beyond simple existing emulations of print on screen or “touch and click” reading. In Penumbra, the digital and physical work together to bring the reader into the mind of the main protagonist. A series of P.O.V. interactive elements allow the reader to explore the language, senses, and visuals of the protagonist’s increasingly muddled thoughts. Through this engagement with a new type of book, the cultural expectations of what it means to “read” are interrogated and rethought. When encountered as an installation, Penumbra is an evocative standalone app. that can be read by interacting with the touch-based screen of an iPad. The aim is to create a strong fictional world where the interactions required to traverse it are non-trivial, compelling and content rich.

10. after emmett: a dispersion of ninetiles

    And's work is intended as a new-media tribute to Emmett Williams, one of the first concrete poets and a leading member of the Fluxus conceptual art movement (its adherents included Yoko Ono and the electronic-art pioneer Nam June Paik).

    The poem pays homage to Williams's own "The Voy Age," a 1975 piece composed of 100 word squares that diminish in size as the work proceeds. By the final page, the grid is so small that it appears to be a period.
