Stepworks
Stepworks is a web-based creative sandbox for exploring rhythmic storytelling. Based on the open source Stepwise library, Stepworks allows users to combine XML scripts containing raw text and music content with “stages” that bring them to life as audiovisual compositions users can perform at will. Users can mix and match scripts and stages, and use Google Sheets to create entirely new scripts featuring multiple characters and musical instruments which can be shared via URL.

Exposed
The criminal punishment system in the United States confines over two million people in overcrowded, unsanitary, and unsafe environments where they cannot practice social distancing or use hand sanitizer and are regularly subjected to medical malpractice and neglect. EXPOSED documents the spread of COVID-19, over time, inside these prisons, jails, and detention centers, from the perspective of prisoners, detainees, and their families. Quotes, audio clips, and statistics collected from a comprehensive array of online publications and broadcasts, are assembled into an interactive timeline that, on each day, offers abundant testimony to the risk and trauma that prisoners experience under coronavirus quarantine. On July 8th alone, there are over 100 statements included in the interface — statements made by prisoners afflicted with the virus or enduring anxiety, distress, and severe hardship. Unfortunately, their words are all we have.

The Endless Doomscroller
“Doomscrolling” refers to the ways in which people find themselves regularly—and in some cases, almost involuntarily—scrolling bad news headlines on their phone, often for hours each night in bed when they had meant to be sleeping. Certainly the realities of the pandemic necessitate a level of vigilance for the purposes of personal safety. But doomscrolling isn’t just a natural reaction to the news of the day—it’s the result of a perfect yet evil marriage between a populace stuck online, social media interfaces designed to game and hold our attention, and the realities of an existential global crisis. Yes, it may be hard to look away from bad news in any format, but it’s nearly impossible to avert our eyes when that news is endlessly presented via designed-to-be-addictive social media interfaces that know just what to show us next in order to keep us “engaged.” As an alternative interface, The Endless Doomscroller acts as a lens on our software-enabled collective descent into despair.

Coronary (Coronário)
The coronavirus has created a new lexicon, which shaped, modulated and mediated a global confinement experience. Due to the negationism of the pandemic by President Bolsonaro, in Brazil it gains particular features, while maintaining a dialogue with the global scope.
Words, terms, and places, like alcohol gel, mask, chloroquine, and Wuhan, have entered the everyday vocabulary. Neologisms in Portuguese, such as testing positive, and communavirus, and expressions such as lockdown, hand washing, and social isolation11 have taken on new meanings. Home Office, Zoom, Emergency Aid, YouTube Lives, and PPEs are other keywords of the moment.
Together, they indicate that the pandemic (another word which became recurrent) has created a whole spectrum of new languages and representations. Will they be quickly forgotten, deleted, and erased from memory, or will they remain?

Coronation: a webcomic
Coronation is a webcomic created by the Marino family using digital tools and platforms to document our experience of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Since the beginning of the lockdown and the various homestay orders in Los Angeles, we have been creating and publishing one comic per day, five days a week, using a combination of digital tools, specifically filters and graphics applications. Images include photographs from our family albums, screenshots and downloads from Internet-based news sources, as well as original hand-drawn images created using digital tools. As the pandemic continues to sweep the globe, Coronation documents one family’s experience of the ups and downs of the Corona virus and the surrounding times, including the 2020 US Election and its ensuing drama and the Black Lives Matter protests. The comics are profoundly domestic and yet reflective of a global crisis, focusing on intimate family moments, transformed through digital tools into a visual expression of the ongoing homestay during a time of turmoil.

Lijn 3
De sneeuwstorm van letters die op je af komen vormen pas woorden als ze bijna bij je zijn. Als je er doorheen gereisd bent stuiven ze achter je ook net zo makkelijk weer uit elkaar. Gedachten met een korte geldigheid, gevormd in samenwerking met de stad.
Lieke Marsman schreef het gedicht, International Silence maakte de setting. Een gedicht waar je met Lijn 3 doorheen reist. Heel even op bezoek in het hoofd van een ander, eigenlijk vooral op doortocht.
De vluchtigheid van de stad waar je doorheen reist rijmt met de tijdelijkheid van de tekst: alles is heel even waar.
Op tramlijn 3 in Amsterdam, vanaf het Concertgebouw richting Zoutkeetsgracht reis je met behulp van onze app door een gedicht van Lieke Marsman. Soms refereert het gedicht subtiel aan waar je bent, soms mijmert het wat voor zich uit. Een gedicht geschreven in samenwerking met de stad, met alle mensen die er wonen, alle dingen die er even zijn.

C.a.p.e. Drop-Dog
'C.a.p.e. Drop-Dog' puts you inside two short stories by Tonnus Oosterhoff: 'Drop' and 'Dog'. Through the VR-glasses you are transported to another time and space. While you walk around, the story devolops. The uninterupted process of watching, reading, listening, and walking gives the impression that you are in two different worlds at the same time. In 'Drop' you eavesdrop on a disturbing conversation about somebody you don't know. Or are they talking about you? In 'Dog' you are addressed by cats and dogs. Or are you one of them?

Hiperpopeia: hiperpoema contínuo
Hiperpopeia é uma obra literária que consiste em um esforço de transformar em versos (com intenção épica, mas em formato livre) postagens encontradas nas redes sociais. Com quase 10.000 versos, escritos no período de um ano, as atualizações acumulativas e diárias tencionam chegar ao mesmo número de versos da Ilíada (15.693). Com restrições internas ao método composicional: nomes como o sujeito da frase; os verbos no passado perfeito (a conjugação narrativa e da ação-descritiva); os objetos vagos, ou superdescritos mas intencionalmente ambíguos; e a intenção de ignorar a mediação de celulares ou câmeras e até mesmo as redes sociais como o meio - fazendo com que a ação seja descrita como uma ação necessariamente concreta. Desta forma, um esforço para produzir uma escrita maquinal, a ser reproduzida de alguma forma em uma escrita algorítmica.

Polska przydrożna / Roadside Poland
“Polska przydrożna” ("Roadside Poland") is an anti-racer designed for the 8-bit Atari, immersed in demoscene aesthetics and the general climate of retro games. The program references the book "Polska przydrożna" by Piotr Marecki (Wydawnictwo Czarne, 2020), which describes a road trip along Polish side roads. Instead of straightforward travelling, the protagonist of the book wriggles around small towns (these locations are listed in the form of a text scroll). The demo itself is devoid of elements characteristic of racers (car, speed, movement, attractive landscapes), thus the work testifies to the pandemic time in which it was made (sports matches without spectators, universities without students, peopleless tourist destinations). The chiptune composed by Caruso refers to Polish disco-polo folk music (designed on Raster Music Tracker). The demo is programmed using MADS assembler. Demo made by Gorgh (code), Maro (idea), Caruso (msx), Kaz (gfx), 2020.
