1. To Be or Not To Be Mouchette

   Me, Mouchette, the online virtual character, I have an unusual status of existence. Regarding the art of my website (www.mouchette.org) I am the author and the creation at the same time, and yet through my remote internet life I remain invisible, anonymous, genderless, untouchable, neither alive or dead. Therefore participants of my interactive website confide in me in the most intimate way, as if were an imaginary being, living in their own head. Inside their own thoughts, no subject is taboo, fear, pain, life and death or even the temptation of suicide, and with me people feel free to talk about everything. With the reactions of the participants to my website I have composed animation films displaying many of the texts I received, spoken out by pixellated characters who tell their most private thoughts about their experience of surviving suicide, their own or someone else’s. My personality embraces all of my participant’s minds and together we form a collective consciousness pondering over questions of life and death in the digital era.

2. Droites et Courbes / Lines and Curves

   Lines and Curves

   Lines and Curves is a collection of electronic poems for PC andApple Macintosh available on Internet. I needed a player everybody has on his computer which could be downloaded easily, even with a slow connection. These conditions once performed, my purpose was to focus on one of electronic poetry Fundamentals : moving shapes generated by algorithms. The items which appear upon the screen will be different for each computer. Letters are made of lines, thick or thin, up or down strokes, round or straight, vertical, or horizontal. Words are made of letters, and sentences are made of words. Lines and curves are the basic units of all writing and printing. The most elementary written (or printed) poetry is the combination of lines and curves. « A » is line-line-line « B » line-line-curve-line-curve-line. Only the « O « is a single closed curve, a circle impossible to write perfectly but by Raphaël. This reminds me that writing is drawing. Young children know this very well. Lines and Curves is drawn poetry; not drawn by me or somebody else, but by a device.

3. Look, here she lies (Kijk, hier ligt ze)

   Interactieve tekst met liggende letters over een zij die ligt en wordt opgetild door een jij die haar wegdraagt en ergens anders neerlegt waarop zij opstaat, terugloopt en weer gaat liggen enz. 
   De woorden worden alleen leesbaar als een speciaal cursorhandje de letters overeind duwt, op die manier krijgt de lezer/kijker een zelfde soort rol als de jij uit de tekst.

6. What we had has not yet been / Wat we hadden is nog niet geweest

   Originally conceived as an interactive installation for the 2007 Literature and New Media project in the Waag, Amsterdam, this production by Jan Baeke and Alfred Marseille mixes poetry, moving images and sound in a movie directed by words, and talks about memory, longing, the misguided monologue and the importance of the kitchen in modern society.

   Images and sounds are mainly drawn from the Prelinger archives.

   This version is an entirely new English language edit made for the 2011 Beijing Book Fair and also featured at the 2011 Noorderzon festival in Groningen (Netherlands).

7. A Slow Year: Game Poems

   A collection of four one kilobyte games for the Atari Video Computer System, one for each season, about the experience of observing things. Neither action nor strategy, each game requires a different kind of sedate observation and methodical input. Accompanying the game are essays about the commonalities between videogames and poetry and 1,024 machined haiku—poetry generated by computer—8 bits worth for each season.

10. Tantderêves

    Tantderêves, a brief poem made with Flash animation, in which, in a background of lines of letters generating at a high speed there is a selection of those -in white-which are going to constitute the verses of a poem. The poet shares a dialogue with the machine, he asks him questions, and this answers with a verse by Paul Éluard: "Tant de rêves dans l'air". The multimedia format preserves perfectly the poetical content that Valdeolmillos intends to transmit, everything takes place in the screen in a background of harmony between typography, color and movement. A clear example of how to integrate the poetic word with a cybernetic machine.
