1. Troubadours & Troublemakers: Stirring the Network in Transmission & Anti-Transmission

   Presented as part of an ELO 2014 conference panel session, "Troubadours of Information: Aesthetic Experiments in Sonification and Sound Technology," led by Andrew Klobucar. In his work, Trouble Songs: A Musicological Poetics, Johnson literally tracks the ways the word “trouble” passes through popular 20th and 21st century song, and the ways trouble is and is not represented via the Trouble Song. For Johnson, there is both a transmission and an anti-transmission of trouble in Trouble Songs: The singer performs an exorcism of trouble, or contributes to a discourse of authenticity with an audience of trouble voyeurs. (These are distinct but related processes, as the trouble singer can relate trouble from outside the community, and can as well—or instead—relate to the troubles of a community; likewise, the trouble singer can reflect, deflect or project trouble.) Trouble itself appears here simultaneously desired and feared, invited and expelled. “Trouble” replaces trouble as a protective spell, as a fetish, and as a generic signifier. The Trouble Song is cast as a spell that evokes and dispels trouble.

2. TinyCrossword

   Tiny Crossword is a daily game played publicly on Twitter. The bot posts a procedurally-generated three-word puzzle at noon PST. Players (any Twitter user) can @-reply with their proposed answer. After two hours, the bot posts the solution & credits the first player to have solved it. Twitter's constraints were designed for succinct handwritten messages, but bots explore what else can be expressed within those limits. The goal of this bot was to make a game that could fit into a tweet (117 characters with an image). Crediting the winner publicly also fits Twitter's form, where @-mentions can be a sign of admiration & prestige. Most bots generate content by taking a random walk through a large corpus. For Tiny Crossword, the corpus is Simple English Wikipedia; its brevity & plain language afford short puzzle clues. New puzzles are generated using up-to-date terms & concepts with no additional designer input.

3. Shan Shui

   Shan Shui generates landscape paintings and corresponding texts, parts of which are glossed in English when the user mouses over them. The English-language reader gains a perspective on the text, but (as if reading through intense fog) can make out only one or two characters at time, losing the forest through the trees. One relationship is to work that pairs landscapes and poems, such as Ed Falco and Mary Pinto's Chemical Landscapes Digital Tales; another is to systems that generates paired images and texts, such as Talan Memmont’s Self Portraits(s) [as Other(s)]. Also relevant are John Cayley’s literary texts, some in Chinese, that provide glosses and translations.

6. Social Story Worlds With Comme il Faut

   This paper presents Comme il Faut (CiF), an artificial intelligence system that matches character performances to appropriate social context, with the goal of enabling authors to write high-level rules governing expected character behavior in given social situations, rather than specific fixed choice points in a curated narrative structure. CiF models characters with a complex set of traits, feelings, and relationships, who can form intents, take actions, relate to a shared cultural space, and remember and refer to past events. A set of authored rules encoding

7. Het land binnen de muren

   Midden in het hart van Amsterdam, nabij Centraal Station ligt het Marineterrein, dertig hectare groot en ontoegankelijk voor burgers. Sinds de zeventiende eeuw heeft het terrein een militaire functie; van de scheepswerf van de Admiraliteit tot helikopterlandingsplaats en safe haven. In de loop van 2015 krijgt een gedeelte van het terrein voor het eerst weer een publieke functie en opent het voorzichtig zijn poorten.

   Ontwerpers Sjoerd ter Borg en Jorrit Schaap kregen toestemming om alvast vijf schrijvers uit te nodigen op het terrein en hen een fictief verhaal te laten schrijven over deze plek. Op de interactieve website van het project 'Het land binnen de muren' worden de verhalen gebruikt als methode om dit nieuwe stuk stad in kaart te brengen. Door middel van een wisselwerking tussen literatuur, fictie en ontwerp wordt het Marineterrein ontsloten en wordt er een alternatief startpunt voor de geplande gebiedsontwikkeling gecreëerd.
