  1. exquisite_code

    exquisite_code is an algorithmic performance system for heterogeneous groups of writers. The writers generate prompts and responses for var1 minute session at the end of which computational devices select/mangle text according to var2 edit. Mangled text outputs get displayed to writers who, in unrelenting sessions, generate further prompts and responses, with chunk on chunk piled up to create a c[ad]aver[n]ous exquisite_code life-work.

  2. Searchsonata 181

    Die SearchSonata 181 ist der letzte Teil der SEARCH TRILOGIE (search lutz!, 2006 - searchSongs, 2008 - searchSonata 181, 2011), die algorithmisch generierte Texte aufführt. Konstante dieser Trilogie ist die Verwendung von Worten, die gerade in Suchmaschinen wie Google & Co. eingegeben werden. Diese Suchworte werden algorithmisch verarbeitet. 
    Im ersten Teil, bei searchLutz!, zu Texten, im zweiten, bei searchSongs, zu Tönen und im letzten, der searchSonata 181, zu Lauten, die ja die akustische Brücke bilden zwischen Text und Ton. Das Webinterface der searchSonata 181 ist nur Mittel zum Zweck. Das Eigentliche entsteht, wenn die algorithmisch generierten Texte live durch eine Sprecherin performt werden. Die Botschaft muss durch den Algorithmus hindurch, ohne dort hängen zu bleiben.

  3. Search Trilogy

    The SEARCH TRILOGY (search lutz!, 2006 - searchSongs, 2008 - searchSonata 181 , 2011) performes algorithmically generated texts. The consistency of this trilogy is the usage of words that are typed in real time into searchengines like Google & Co. These search terms are processed by algorithm for further use. In the first piece of work, searchLutz (2006), the search terms are processed into texts, in the second piece, searchSongs (2008), into sounds and melody, and in the latest piece, searchSonata 181, into phonetics as an acoustic bridge between text and sound. The web interfaces of search Lutz!, searchSongs and searchSonata 181 are a means to an end. The essence emerges with a live performance of the algorithmically generated texts. The texts are played back into real space: the message has to pass through the algorithm without getting caught there.

  4. Baby Work

    BABY WORK is the 3rd edition of Cheang's LOCKER BABY PROJECT which consist of:
    BABY PLAY (2001, NTT[ICC], Tokyo) and BABY LOVE (2005, Palais de Tokyo, Paris).
    The Locker Baby project conceived in 2001 reflects a time when bioscience is accused
    of out of control and scifi fantasia brings forward the future. Deriving from Ryu
    Murakami's noted novel Coin Locker Babies (1980) of post-war Japan , the Locker Baby
    Project further contests the mother’s heart beats that are so desired for clone babies
    born out of lockers. A fictional scenario set in 2030 - the transnational DPT (DollyPolly
    Transgency) produces and engages clone locker babies in negotiating human "Memory"
    and "Emotion”. The clone baby holds the key to retrieve the networked inter-sphere of
    ME-data embedded in a playfield of sonic imagery triggered only by human interaction.
    In BABY PLAY, an oversized baby football field with clone baby players; in BABY LOVE, a
    ride in 6 motorized fairground teacups with love song remixed by clone babies; in BABY

  5. The Broadside of a Yarn

    The Broadside of a Yarn is a multi-modal performative pervasive networked narrative attempt to chart fictional fragments of new and long-ago stories of near and far-away seas with naught but a QR reader and a hand-made map of dubious accuracy. This project may perhaps be best understood as an assemblage of interrelated narrative elements mediated across a continuum forms - a collection of stories, a folio of broadsides, or an unbound atlas of impossible maps composed of a combination of historical sources, interspersed with "found" images, quotations from well known sailors’ yarns, and my own drawings and photographs, and fiction. These printed maps are embedded with QR codes link mobile devices to computer-generated narrative dialogues which may then serve as scripts for poli-vocal performances, and/or suggest a series of imprecise pervasive performative walks. This project is, in a Situationist sense, a wilfully absurd endeavour. How can I, a displaced native of rural Nova Scotia (New Scotland), perform the navigation of a narrative route through urban Edinburgh (Old Scotland)?

  6. The Final Problem

    The Final Problem will be a city-specific multi-disciplinary project encompassing elements
    of writing, text mining, data-visualization, and community psychogeography, woven together through algorithmic composition. The piece will loosely appropriate the conventions and mechanics of a crime novel as constraints for the filtering and framing of content and the development of narrative rules. There will be three in-gallery manifestations: augmented installation, real-time performance, and free lunch.

  7. Common Tongues

    Common Tongues remediates practices and processes of reading, and addresses, critically, the commodification of reading itself, and the proprietary enclosure of a growing portion of our linguistic cultural commons.

    Common Tongues emerges from the artists’ collaboration on The Readers Project (http://thereadersproject.org). Processes that were developed in this framework and that are based, in part, on previous manifestations of the Project are applied to a reading of Samuel Beckett’s How It Is and used to generate new poetic texts, remediating social reading.

  8. _The_Tem(Cor)p(oral)_Body_

    The _The_Tem(Cor)p(oral)_Body_ Project involves a mash-up of scientific jargon + mezangelled variables to create a aggregated faux scientific manual involving the concept of Temporal_Body_Divorce" [or _TBD_]. This _TBD_ emphasizes exploitation possibilities involved in gradual geophysically/synthetic/space-time disconnections and will manifest in a set of codeworks created on the 01-03 November 2011 + then updated/modified live during the Remediating the Social Event [01-03 November 2012]. The core of the work is the performative act of present/future “time modification[s]” [or timemodding] of mezangelled snippets sent to the author/artist’s future self via the use of futureme.org.

  9. How It Is in Common Tongues

    How It Is in Common Tongues was composed by searching for the text of Samuel Beckett’s How It Is using a universally accessible search engine, attempting to find, in sequence, the longest common phrases from How It Is that were composed by writers or writing machines other than Beckett. These phrases are quoted from a portion of the commons of language that happens to have been indexed by a universally accessible engine.

  10. The Image

    A 70-page paperback book, printing successive screen shots of 'The Image' portion of How It Is, as searched by expressive process on Google Images, excluding records tagged with [Samuel] 'Beckett'.
