Under the Surface
Under the Surface (also known as "Who in the Hell is Axel Lundén?") is an trans-media 'unfiction' project. Unfiction is fiction that creates an alternate reality, purporting to be authentic and employing aspects of the real world in its narrative, often spooling out onto other platforms than that upon which it begins. The primary medium of this unfiction is an indie folk artist's website. But characters are found on Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter. all of these can be interacted with to explore the story.
The project releases monthly installments in the form of chapters and content drops. The chapters include text, with original illustrations, videos, and music to enhance the experience.
To date, there are seven chapters to enjoy, in addition to numerous supplementary materials including news articles, images, lyrics, and ephemera. Not only digital. Posters for concerts that happened many years ago can be found in Sweden, Norway, and the UK, linking to the main story.

‘Grasp All, Lose All’: Raising Awareness Through Loss of Grasp in Seemingly Functional Interfaces
From baroque proto-cybertexts to countercultural gestures by historical avant-gardes, there is a longstanding tradition of disruptive strategies used by artists at the interstices of societies’ demands for order, control, and functionalism. For the avant-gardes and their multiple artistic inf(l)ections, radical changes to the way sensory perception had come to be depicted since Modernism became a central part of their strategy. By placing an emphasis on the confluence between various arts and media, the innovative character of their proposals had much to do with the ways in which they were able to embrace notions that represented modernity, including concepts such as simultaneity, dynamics, motion, and the symbiosis between human and machine. In this manner, they sought to induce estrangement and defamiliarization by using seemingly functional mechanisms to raise awareness through the loss of grasp.

A 2020 Computer-Generated Text as a Posthuman Mode of Literature Production
A central idea of posthumanism in a technological society is the actual transition of the human towards a post-human entity, the cyborg. This entanglement between humanity and technology can not only be found in – actual and fictional – cyborgs, but also in computer-generated textproduction. Through the close collaboration between human creativity and artificial intelligence, algorithmically facilitated writing is emerging as anart form that is proving promising for literary analysis in a posthuman context. This article will examine computer-generated fiction as a new,posthuman mode of text production and use poststructuralist and related theory – mainly Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, and Susan Sontag – toexplore the implications that such forms hold for the roles of authors, readers, and that of literary critics and scholars.
