1. Enigma n

   Described by the author as "an online philosophical poetry toy for poets and philosophers from the age of four up." The piece jumbles the letter of the word "meaning" in space, allowing the reader to manipulate their motion in space.

   Published also on Macromedia's DHTML Zone, DOC(K)S (France), & Cauldron and Net.

2. Paddle

   “Paddle” builds upon the previous poem but emphasizing the phonic dimension of language both with the words and the animation. This poem consists of five words, only four of which we can see. The initial word establishes the setting, the second word provides a visual stream of a letter that causes and forms a new onomatopoeic word, the third word transforms the word into something else entirely but its animation focuses the frame of reference. The final word is the payoff as Hennessy creates a disconnect between the spelled word and its animation. It is by reading it aloud that we realize that the animation is referencing a homophone— the fifth word in the sequence, which is both visible, invisible, and audible.

   Truly “verbivocovisual.”

3. 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.

4. Viz Études

   "Viz Études" is a series of performances that present a reading and projection of a number of visual, kinetic, text, and Java-based compositions for electronic space, works which mine the more pliant possibilities of e-poetry and explore the material dimensions of writing in electronic space through the use of elements such as moving text, imbedded sound files, and Java-layered text as properties of writing. The language of "Viz Études" is one in which ideation cannot help but be colored by implications of the very vocabulary of the electronic possibilities for new writing. An installation of "Viz Études" for magnetic media was included in the "The Next Word" Exhibit at the Neuberger Museum at SUNY Purchase, Fall, 1998. This performance is part of a series, individual iterations of which have been performed in San Francisco, New York, Washington DC, London, Buffalo, and, a week before its performance here, in Mexico City. See also With Code in Hand: an Inventory & Prospectus for E-Poetics, a paper also being presented at this conference.
