1. #s1gn/4l

   #s1gn/4l is a series of twitter-poems combining image and text. The source images are signs with public orders in New York City. The rearranged texts introduce a disruption, dislocation and decontextualization of the signs, and create new #s1gn/4ls distributed via Twitter.

2. All-Time High: A Netprov

   All-Time High was a participatory netprov (networked improv narrative) game that took place on Twitter throughout July. Based on a concept by writers Claire Donato and Jeff T. Johnson (who collaborate on Special America/Atelier Spatial America), All-Time High was developed with Meanwhile Netprov Studio founders Mark C. Marino and Rob Wittig. According to the official website, “In All-Time High we find ourselves— our own high-school-aged selves—together at the same high school in July of 2015. What a nightmare, right?! And yet, what an opportunity. For comedy, if nothing else. And maybe even a bit of redemption.” Readers became co-creators of the Twitter-based netprov with the use of the #ATH15 hashtag, and chose their own adventures at All-Time High. The official Twitter account, @alltimehigh2015, operated as a PA system and make announcements over the course of the netprov. Throughout July 2015, participants will played out the differences (generational, geographical, subcultural) and the commonalities (stress, sugar, hormones) of life on a high-school wormhole.

3. A Bot Sampler in Two Voices

   This 8-10 minute performance will feature two persons reading from a selection of bot generated output. The readers will choose several bots to read aloud, and will read them back and forth to produce a conversation between bots, much as might happen on Twitter. The resulting juxtapositions should be both humorous and thought-provoking, with the individual readers’ voices lending continuity to the bots. For variety and emphasis, there will be a few moments in the performance in which one reader focuses on the text generated by a single bot, in the tradition of a solo riff.

4. ROM_TXT

   This bot explores a corpus of textual data from videogame ROM (Read Only Memory), selecting a random snippet, adding a hashtag for the source, mentioning the platform in parenthesis, and publishing the results every three hours. This textual data isn’t just text displayed by the games when they’re running, but also their programming code, which means that its text is sometimes gibberish (perhaps from obfuscated code), formatted using coding conventions, and strange enough to be poetic. This is a rewarding bot to follow from a Critical Code Studies perspective because it invites reflection on the choices made by programmers for variables, data, and language.

5. Poetry is Just Words in the Wrong Order

   Poetry is Just Words in the Wrong Order (2015) proposes an unconventional way of creating and presenting poetry based on improvisation, language/sound experimentation, fragmentation and randomness. Poetry as a social practice is here developed in an anti-narrative manner. Built with custom code, a computer chooses random phrases from a predetermined Twitter hashtag (e.g. #Syria) and a database of verses which are selected by the two artists (e.g. verses from poems by Arab women writing in English). The phrases and the verses from the two sources are combined partly randomly and partly following a given pattern. At the same time, sound events are being produced by estimating the number of the letters of every incoming word as well as the total volume of the incoming data. When the project is presented live, the three artists build and improvise on the poem that is created by the computer. (Source: Adapted from authors’ text)

6. Changing Faces: An Experiment in Friendship, Ego and ID

   Changing Faces: An Experiment in Friendship, Ego and ID was a weeklong netprov duet by Claire Donato and Mark Marino (or Claire Marino and Mark Donato), two electronic artists who grew up in Pittsburgh, studied at Brown, and whose names end in O. Taking the ultimate leap of trust, they jumped into each other’s social media accounts from August 5-12, 2015. What they learned has something to teach us all about who we are online and how others make it so.
