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.

Robert Coover Criticism Generator
This is a prose generator, made for the occassion of Robert Coover's retirement from teaching at Brown University and a celebration of his career as an aspect of the 2010 ELO_AI Conference. The generator is based on texts of reviews of Coover's novels and published interviews he has done over the years. The generator pulls from and mashes up these texts, along with images of the novelist found on the Web, to create an almost-plausible critical text that refreshes itself frequently.

GENERATION[S]
GENERATION[S] expands upon a series of short fictions generated by Python scripts adapted (with permission) from two 1k story generators written by Nick Montfort, and incorporates GORGE, a never-ending tract spewing verse approximations, poetic paroxysms on food, consumption, decadence and desire, a hack of Montfort’s elegant poetry generator Taroko Gorge. There was only one rule in creating GENERATION[S]: No new texts. All the texts in this book were previously published in some way. The texts the generators produce are intertwined with the generators’ source code, and these two types of texts are in turn interrupted by excerpts from the meta narrative that went into their creation. Most of the sentences in the fiction generators started off as Tweets, which were then pulled into Facebook. Some led to comments that led to responses that led to new texts. All these stages of intermediation are represented in the print book iteration of GENERATION[S].

Det siste utbruddet / The Last Volcano
This video project explores Norwegian folk histories that return as fragments in light of ongoing volcanic eruptions. The project was recorded in Bergen following the disruptions caused by the activities of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland. A folk history of disaster is set against slowly revolving images set in a contemporary landscape. This is the first of a series of works recorded in Norway that juxtapose folk histories and contemporary events to explore narrative and associative characteristics of cultural anxieties and collective memory. The project was researched and filmed by Roderick Coover in 2010 thanks to a distinguished-scholar-in-residence award from the University of Bergen.

Paths of Memory and Painting
Paths of Memory and Painting is a three part work of narrative new media poetry that is composed of composite arrays of hypertext lexias. Parallel trails of lexias lead to different parts of a narrative told by a Bay Area Figurative painter. The main narrative thread takes part in the San Francisco Bay Area in the years beginning with World War II. But the narrator also relates other aspects her life and work, and recollects the lives of California artist adventurers. Composed with multiple paths through narrative information, the work creates a reading experience of successive text-paintings that chronicle the changes in a painter's work. Created with an array of interlocking lexias that the reader shuffles and reshuffles until a narrative emerges, Part I, where every luminous landscape, (2008) was short listed for the Prix poesie-media, France.
