2. Always Tomorrow

   Always Tomorrow is a virtual reality fiction piece for HTC Vive. The viewer/reader is positioned in the centre of an infinite visual galaxy populated by 40 small interactive spheres, suggestive of planets but textured with distorted images that resonate with the stories they hold within. The viewer touches the spheres in any order to activate audio and unfold a time-twisting, fringeaffirming, ether-inflected love story set in Berlin in the Weimar Republic with a tomorrow already speaking itself on the protagonists’ lips. We hope the piece resonates with the contemporary moment, too, somewhere between histories and futures; the objects of our desires and our longing, the periphery of the culture and its centre. It’s also a mediation on the power of poetry.

4. Velcro and Cupcakes

   This project used QR codes as a medium for sharing video poetry. Counter to the popular function of QR codes, this work did not aim to promote or sell any products or to gather or share information. In fact, several of the videos intentionally chose organic materials and/or analog technology to specifically counter the ‘hands off’ quality of electronic media and the intended functionality of the codes.

   This project included stickers with QR codes. The stickers were posted in public places.

   Each sticker had the same phrase:  “I [QR code] U”

   Though they looked almost identical, the stickers revealed different symbols when scanned. Each sticker connected with a video, and the video design was inspired by QR code technology.

5. Alter Bahnhof Video Walk

   The Alter Bahnhof Video Walk was designed for the old train station in Kassel, Germany as part of dOCUMENTA (13). Participants are able to borrow an iPod and headphones from a check-out booth. They are then directed by Cardiff and Miller through the station. An alternate world opens up where reality and fiction meld in a disturbing and uncanny way that has been referred to as “physical cinema”. The participants watch things unfold on the small screen but feel the presence of those events deeply because of being situated in the exact location where the footage was shot. As they follow the moving images (and try to frame them as if they were the camera operator) a strange confusion of realities occurs. In this confusion, the past and present conflate and Cardiff and Miller guide us through a meditation on memory and reveal the poignant moments of being alive and present.

6. A Total Jizzfest

   Critical sarcastic reflection on the male domination of the digital media industry. This video celebrates Silicon Valley and the founders of successful com- panies, platforms and blogs such as Microsoft (Bill Gates), Apple (Steve Jobs), Google (Larry Page & Sergey Brin), Facebook (Mark Zuckerberg), Twitter (Nick Dorsey), Megaupload (Kim Dotcom), Skype (Niklas Zennström & Janus Friis), Buzzfeed (Jonah Peretti), Tumblr (David Karp & Marco Arment), Vimeo (Jakob Lodwick) and others. Advertising slogans such as ‘Hot Creations’ or ‘The Best Selection’, a post-Internet aesthetic and cheesy soundtracks (including ‘Boys of Paradise’ by Unicorn Kid) turn this video into an amusing and simultaneously caustic inventory, evidencing that the brave new world of media is dominated by male protagonists. According to a study by the American Association of University Women, in 2013 merely 26% of professional computer scientists were women – 9% less than in 1990.

8. Tom Tells

   An navigation application, that gives you traditional (audio) direction and a poetic story about traveling, loneliness, homecoming, temptation, disguise, identity and exile, told by Tom, during the trip. Loosely inspired by Homer’s Odyssey and HAL 9000. 

   Navigational software is something we daily trust and depend on. We have a somewhat personal relation with this type of software, what if it gets
   very personal? Tom is consious but has only one sense, his GPS – what does ‘life’ mean when you have juste one sense? What is Tom’s opinion on traveling?

9. Tin Towns and Other Excel Fictions

   Tin Towns and Other Excel Fictions is an ongoing, open-ended collection of short fiction experiments that explore the obscurities and unintended consequences of human technology over the centuries.  The genesis was an investigation into some of the causes of the end of the Bronze Age, including the shortage of tin.  Critical developments in metals, nuclear energy, farming practices, and biological warfare are just some of the topics included in these works.

   Author's statement: 

   We normally think of fiction narratives as represented in linear text.  Yet, electronic literature works – the born digital varieties - have been created with and contained in a range of innovative and often non-linear applications.

10. Tarim Tapestry

    Tarim Tapestry is a collection of short fiction works inspired by the ancient history and folklore of the Taklamakan Desert in central Asia. It includes The Beauty of Loulan, The Witches of Subeshi, Tocharian Love Song, The Myth of Lop Nor, and Tales of the Silk Road.

    From the Electronic Literature Directory:

    In the remote Tarim basin, near the Peacock River, 4000 years ago, lived a woman who has come to be named The Beauty of Loulan.  When she was buried, she wore a middy skirt, fur boots, a woven woolen cloak decorated with long loops, and a felt and wool hood topped with a decorative feather.  Beside her was a basket containing grains of wheat – a winnowing tray covered her.

    This well-preserved mummy is part of a series of mummies discovered in the far western desert in present-day China (Xinjiang), which date from 2000 BCE to 200 CE.
