1. Loss of Grasp

   “Loss of Grasp” is an interactive narrative about the notions of grasp and control. What happens when one has the impression of losing control in life, of losing control of his/her own life? Six scenes tell the story of a man that is losing himself. “Loss of Grasp” plays with the grasp and the loss of grasp and invites the reader to experiment with these feelings in an interactive work.

2. CityFish

   CityFish is a hybrid word, title of a hybrid work, tale of a hybrid creature. Part classical parable, part children’s picture book, CityFish is a web-based intertextual hypermedia transmutation of Aesop's Town Mouse Country Mouse fable. Winters, Lynne freezes in Celsius in the fishing village of Brooklyn, Nova Scotia (Canada), a few minutes walk from a white sandy beach. Summers, she suffers her city cousins sweltering in Fahrenheit in Queens, New York (USA).  Lynne is a fish out of water. In the country, her knowledge of the city separates her from her school of friends. In the city, her foreignness marks her as exotic. CityFish represents asynchronous relationships between people, places, perspectives and times through a horizontally scrolling browser window, suggestive of a panorama, a diorama, a horizon line, a skyline, a timeline, a Torah scroll. The panorama and the diorama have traditionally been used in museums and landscape photography to establish hierarchies of value and meaning. CityFish interrupts a seemingly linear narrative with poetic texts, quotations, Quicktime videos, DHTML animations, Google Maps and a myriad of visual images.

4. [Untitled Twitter Fiction @samplereality]

   Mark Sample has disappeared from Twitter, or has he? The link above leads to an archive of all his Tweets, which reference his final tweets, ostensibly from a Dulles airport that was sealed up by FEMA, including a link to an video of him sending a message to his wife and family, that “the book is not what they think it is.” What is this book and what is the whole situation about?

   This is Twitter performance writing, in which fiction blends into reality so casually, that it is able to make for compelling narratives. This is a story several years in the making.

   On January 30, 2013, as he headed back home from an all day Department retreat, the got stuck on Dulles airport due to some kind of an emergency, re-encountering the mysterious figure from March 5, 2010. On January 31, 2013 his @samplereality account went 404. Gone.

   Quoted from I ♥ E-Poetry entry.

7. El postrero deseo de Eugenia Villasans

   El lector se encuentra, en un primer nivel de lectura con una carta de Eugenia Vilasans, que se superpone a una fotografía en sepia de ella. La carta fue escrita en 1926 y permaneció escondida hasta que muriera la autora, quien confiesa la historia de su adulterio. Después de esta introducción, un link invita a acudir al escritorio de Vilasans para recomponer la historia, en donde se exponen, a modo de papeles sueltos, los fragmentos dispersos. La imagen resulta una buena metáfora del hipertexto. Postales, recortes de periódicos, hojas de diarios personales con diferentes fechas, cartas del amante, conforman la trama. Un relato epistolar que debe ensamblarse con un puzzle.

8. Taro at the Center of the Earth

   The Taro at the Center of the Earth iPad application is a digitized version of the popular Finnish childrens’ author Timo Parvela’s first book about the character Taro (2010). The story is about a little boy and a bear’s journey to the center of the Earth, and is delightfully illustrated by Jussi Kaakinen. Taro makes use of point-and-click adventure game conventions to create an experience which is still quite close to a print book, but it manages to evoke more of a sense of exploring a fictional space than turning print pages by its unusual use of the spatial screen space. The individual panes follow each other either seamlessly in horizontal or vertical directions, depending on the movements of Taro and his bear friend, so there is no strong division between parts of the work, as is the case with book pages. The scrolling illustrations, which are only partially under the user’s control, help the user to identify with Taro in his exciting adventure, perhaps allowing for a tighter experience of emotion and immersion in the story.
