Acts in Translation
Acts in Translation (2020) is a generative moving image and sound installation featuring two windows having a moment together. Eighty ambient recordings contributed from thirty-seven cities worldwide are randomly sequenced to produce a unique soundscape on each page visit. The image remains relatively still as the viewer gazes through the panel windows into the intimate. The stable image and the randomized sound merge to create a simultaneously shared and unique urban life sentiment for the viewer. A call to prayer in Tehran pairs with London’s traffic to conjure a city that is as familiar as it is foreign. Each hour, in Universal Coordinated Time, a story about a “broken heart” emerges. This story operates as an entendre, using misunderstanding to address the complexity of language and culture.

8-bite
Artist description: This is a game created by spencer and kelsey for the 8th issue of taper, a computational poetry magazine. The idea is a subversion of the classic pacman, where instead of eating food, the player eats words to make their own poem. The words come from a very limited word bank, but because they are curated to be multipurpose, the limited word set and constraints of movement on the grid provide a lot of fun playability. Play around! Your poems will save automatically (local to your browser) and you can optionally submit them to the public gallery.

Looking Back while Moving Forward: The Case of Concrete Poetry and Sankofa
This article considers the intersection between African oral tradition and electronic literature by exploring the potential of Sankofa to interact with concrete poetry in an electronic space. Sankofa is an example of the Adinkra, a set of symbols that were originally created and used by the Akan in West Africa. These symbols have literary value which this article looks at in ways similar to concrete poetry; examining Sankofa as concrete poetry in an electronic context enables a simultaneous dovetailing with as well as convergence from oral and print based modes of engaging with the text: aspects of oral tradition influence this exploration.

Digital Commedia
La Digital Commedia è una riscrittura contemporanea del poema dantesco attraverso la quale il Sommo Poeta, smarrito nella selva oscura dei nuovi media, intraprende un viaggio negli Inferi della società delle piattaforme digitali.
Il progetto, curato dal Dipartimento di Scienze umane dell’Università LUMSA, si articola in una narrazione transmediale tra web e social network ed è online dal 25 marzo 2021, in concomitanza con la celebrazione dei 700 anni dalla morte di Dante Alighieri.Richard Snyder - 27.09.2022 - 19:03

醉詠詩 Zui Yong Shi
《醉詠詩 Zui Yong Shi》is a multi-media artwork that generates Chinese WuYan JueJu poetry and pentatonic melody to pair with the poetry. The poetry matches most of the strict rules of WuYan JueJu poetry and the melody follows the Chinese pentatonic scale. “醉詠詩” means the poetry of singing intoxicatingly or to intoxicatingly sing poetries. I was inspired by the article 《春夜宴桃李園序》 by famous Chinese poet 李白Li Po. In the article, 李白Li Po expresses his feelings of enjoying the present by writing down the condition of he and his friends gathering together to drink, write poetries and sing. He views this as a desirable way to enjoy life. Thus, I created this artwork as a representation of the status of Li Po and his friends’ gathering. The painting is a painting by 冷枚Leng Mei also inspired by 《春夜宴桃李園序》. It also recreates the scene of 李白Li Po and his friends’ gathering.

How to Rob a Bank
How To Rob A Bank is a young Bonnie and Clyde-esque love story about the mishaps that befall a young male bank robber and his female accomplice. This transmedia fiction manifests in the form of animated text conversations between the main characters, and their use of their iPhones to Google search, text, game, and use other apps on the phone as part of their capers.
The story is an immersive experience generated through readers’ hands-on use of apps, maps, imagery, animations and audio. Bigelow’s award winning 2016 multimodal work foregrounds how social technology has become a core element of daily life, and helps us see the way that social technologies structure lived experience.
The mirror effect of the character/reader’s use of personal devices as they read this piece makes this narrative relatable, shining light on widespread digital traversing behaviors. And yet, the storytelling is also traditional in its linear development with five sequential episodes.

Science For Idiots
Science For Idiots is an older Flash piece resurrected using HTML5, CSS, and Javascript and now playable on multiple devices and browsers. Its resurrection is the first “education” offered to the viewer: a visit to the online source page is an instruction, via its example, of how a Flash work can be converted into a contemporary piece of electronic literature for the web.
The second “education” is within the piece itself. Science For Idiots takes us through some basic scientific concepts (evolution, global warming, elementary particles, and so on) and explains them in graphic form. The piece concludes with an interactive “Science For Idiots” quiz.
