Quarters
The authors' collaboration on this piece was prompted by a Letraset visual poem by Beaulieu, “Self-Quarantine.” While thinking of the crowded space of arrows in that poem, they worked to engage with Unicode (and in particular, the four arrows U-2196–U-2199) in ways inspired by Beaulieu’s engagement with Letraset. The resulting poem is more sparse visually at any particular moment, but quite constrained and tense. The boundary will fill in in unanticipated ways if one simply waits. Those who are very patient will see that the process slows down as more and more arrow-shadows stick to the “walls.” The constantly-moving arrow leaves a trace wherever it bounces, but, as a glyph, it has a different substance than the edge of the browser, and cannot encounter its own residue. For those who crave an interactive experience, the poem can be interactive: Resizing the browser is an intervention.

The New River (Fall 2018)
When you consider that writing as a form hasn’t really changed all that much since The Epic of Gilgamesh, some 4,000 years ago, what’s occurring in the world of new media becomes that much more impressive. Digital writing is already able to do things that authors aspired towards for years; incorporating visuals, music, and sound, as well as interacting directly with audience. In this issue we’ve tried to put forth work that exemplifies the wide range new media is capable of.

The New River (Spring 2018)
The world as we know it is changing: drones can deliver burritos, cars can drive themselves, all movies are remakes, and our middle school math teachers were all wrong – we do always have a calculator in our pocket. Welcome to the future! We’re talking about your smartphone. These small rectangular devices have affected nearly every aspect of our lives. New media is no exception. For this issue, we have curated a collection of pieces, both desktop and mobile, that exemplify all that new media has to offer in this future we live in.

The Human Touch
The Human Touch started out as an augmented reality project where Zellen took images of graffiti and animated them with her signature line-drawing style. Most of the images focus on human figures, faces, or birds and move from static to animated in varying levels of frantic. Viewing them all together leaves you with a feeling like there might be something you missed. This is a feeling we hope will remain with you. Slow down and notice the possibilities in all the static images that surround you.

The New River (Fall 2017)
The New River has been around for over 20 years, and in that time the digital world, and our readers' familiarity with that world, has changed drastically. In this year's Spring issue we take a moment to appreciate what still works from back in the early days of new media and the possibilities offered to us by its future.
We have been lucky enough to receive submissions from several past contributors this reading period, and have a pretty packed issue.

The Dreamcatcher
Commissioned by Peterborough’s Platform8 / Jumped Up Theatre and devised by One to One Development Trust / Dreaming Methods, The Dreamcatcher gathered people’s aspirations and dreams about the city of Peterborough in the UK, through audio, film, creative interventions and social media. This was woven into a projected interactive digital art installation and Virtual Reality experience primarily for the Oculus Rift. Artists from Jumped Up Theatre gathered dreams from local school children, festival goers and shoppers.

The Shootout
A western con with your choice of ending.
(Source: https://webyarns.com/the-shootout-2016/)
Alan Bigelow's "The Shootout" is a wonderfully fun and interactive western tale with poetic language, immersive sound, and a surprisingly modern ending that you won't see coming. It seems, no matter where technology goes, we cannot help but love stories and puzzles. We just find new packages for them.
