1. Fibonacci's Daughter

   With Fibonacci's Daughter the challenge was to capture the Fibonacci precepts--elements of predictability in natural forms--in a narrative. His mathematical sequence of numbers and golden sector were sources for narrative shape, structural organization, and design motif. I wanted the story to have a sense of spiraling both in and out at the same time--disappearing at the center and diffusing at the margins. The structure is based on the Fibonacci golden mean; the spatial access is through a shopping mall that is a golden square. Backgrounds, images, and motifs are drawn from Fibonacci's work. The story has, as well, a shadow of Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story, "Rappacini's Daughter," in a certain altered perception of pattern. Borges lurks.

2. Tokyo Garage

   A poetry generator for the imaginary city. Tokyo Garage is a remix of Nick Montfort's "Taroko Gorge" -- a nature poem generator built in javascript. Rettberg modified the code and substituted all of the language of Montfort's work to create this poetry generator, which plays with received stereotypes of the Tokyo metropolis and of urbanity in general. A machinimatic reading was prepared for the DAC 2009 conference, including a clown reading the poem to an imaginary audience.

3. All Together Now: Collective Knowledge, Collective. Narratives, and Architectures of Participation

   This essay is an exploration of the history and methodologies of collective narrative projects, and their relationship to collective knowledge projects and methodologies. By examining different forms of conscious, contributory, and unwitting participation, the essay attempts to develop a richer understanding of successful large-scale collaborative projects. The essay then examines large-scale architectures of participation in Wikipedia and Flickr to extrapolate from those observations potential methodologies for the creation of collective narratives.

5. Bokstavlek

   Bokstavlek kan karakteriseres som et estetisk verktøy som gjør brukeren i stand til å leke med bokstaver og ord. Brukeren kan selv velge hvilke bokstaver som skal danne ord og/eller utgjøre en tekst (et dikt eller en (kort) fortelling). Tekstene som produseres av brukeren blir presentert i et fast visuelt miljø bestående av noen lyktestolper i et landskap. Brukerens tekster inngår som audio-visuelle og dynamiske elementer i dette miljøet. Telefonlinjen mellom to telefonstolper står som en sentral indikasjon på at ordene og teksten som blir produsert, kan plasseres på denne linjen. Dersom brukeren følger denne antydningen, blir hver enkelt bokstav på telefonlinjen ved faste intervall omdannet til fugler som flyr i en sløyfe før den igjen lander på telefonlinjen og blir til en bokstav.

6. The Death of a Factory

   A hypertextual, mulitmodal report on old, abandoned factories, and about the people who still work in the factory spaces. Through stories in text, spoken voice, music, other sounds, still images and moving images, we are shown how abandoned factories have become the basis of cultural production, often now functioning as cultural centres and attractions. This hypertext speaks in favour of protecting and repurposing old factory spaces that are threatened with demolition. The hypertext calls itself a report, but could also be connected to the genres of narrative and of documentary, digital visual art, digital movies, sound art and digital installation.
