1. Robohand

   Observing that Keats's poem “reads like a program written for human software,” Josh White
   reinterprets “The Living Hand” in the voice of an artificially intelligent robotic computer system.
   Notions of persistence and durability reappear here in the guise of digital emulation. The end result
   is a commented code poem in pseudo-C++ that changes the original “so as to produce an alternative
   that is different yet recognizably related to it.” [from an Introduction by Prof. Kari Kraus]

2. Immobilité

   Immobilité, the first feature-length film for a mobile device, is story of two women living in a dream-like state. The audio is that of great eeriness, but we are assured by the narration that the women are not here to haunt us. Soon after, we are presented with a very interesting question; a question that is left open to interpretation by an unknown being from the distant future. Annotated by Gary Nasca.

5. P.o.E.M.M.

   A compilation of broken poems, P.o.E.M.M. Poems for Excitable [Mobile] Media is designed explicitly for mobile media. The poems cannot be read without touching the screen, an experience that creates excitable stimulation. The letters and words of the poems float in the background, waiting for the user to snatch them up with their fingers. One line at a time, the user can grab the words and align them on the screen. The lines can be arranged in any order, and so the user must piece together both their meaning and the structure. Lewis and Nadeau built the interface filled by these works and poets: “What They Speak When They Speak to Me” by Jason E. Lewis, “Character” by Jim Andrews, “Let Me Tell You What Happened This Week” by David Jhave Johnston, “Muddy Mouth” by JR Carpenter, “The Color of Your Hair Is Dangerous” by Aya Karpinska. Annotated by Greg Philbrook.

7. Core Sample

   Core Sample is a GPS-based interactive sound walk and corresponding sound sculpture that evokes
   the material and cultural histories contained in and suggested by the landscape of Spectacle Island.
   The piece engages the extended landscape of Boston Harbor as bound by the new Boston Institute of
   Contemporary Art building on the downtown waterfront, and Spectacle Island, a former dump and
   reclaimed landfill park visible just off the coast. The two sites function dialogically, questioning
   what is seen versus what is not seen, what is preserved and recorded versus what is suppressed and
   denied. (Source: Project website)

8. The Carrier

   The Carrier is the first digital graphic novel meant to be viewed exclusively on the iPhone. The novel utilizes many of the features the phone has to offer such as the touch interface, web links to extra story input, and geolocation. Also unique to the work is the way in which the story unfolds: It is given to the user in real time. Like 19th-century novels and 20th-century comic books, The Carrier is distributed serially. Release of each chapter is timed to specific intervals that correlate to the hero's experience of time within the story. Story premise: a scientist wakes up in Bangkok with no memories and a briefcase chained to his wrist. As the scientist moves across the world, ancillary elements of his story are texted and emailed to the reader: recipes for Thai food, London weather reports, fake news headlines and the like. Annotated by Kyle Schaeffer.
