Ouroboros and Jabberwock
This diptych or bi-fold work presents readers with two re-workings of Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky:” on one hand, a fixed, cyclical hypertext in seven parts (Ouroboros), and on the other, an endless generative deformation that refigures the mock-epic as tennis game in Hell (Jabberwock). Both options are available at the start, but only in faint, translucent lettering. Letting the cursor dwell on one side or the other activates a sound track -- on the O side, a poetic voice whispering words of wisdom; on the J side, various monstrous re-mixes of Thursday, July 2017.This diptych or bi-fold work presents readers with two re-workings of Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky:” on one hand, a fixed, cyclical hypertext in seven parts (Ouroboros), and on the other, an endless generative deformation that refigures the mock-epic as tennis game in Hell (Jabberwock).

LAMENT (The Mine Has Been Opened Up Well)
LAMENT is a mixed reality performance that excavates sites, histories, and languages of mining in a poetics of generative telegraphy, geophysical extraction, and the multilingual hauntings of forgotten laborers. Immersed in a lush 3d point-cloud derived from Lidar scans of a defunct copper mine, two performers, I (input) and O (output), operate a custom augmented reality system to extract, hoist, encrypt and decrypt language from original and archival sources while composing through a database of 30,000 telegraph codes used for electrical communications of the mining industry in the 19th and early 20th century. LAMENT is a sited compression of the work, SMOKEPENNY LYRICHORD HEAVENBRED, adapted for the Translations festival and the Mosteiro de São Bento da Vitória. Translation manifests in the work through the reanimation of a mine captured by remote sensing, the use of AR to scan and transform its surroundings, and the multivalent SHUDDERING of telegraphic codes that radiate towards their linguistic surface connotations and their arbitrary meanings in codebooks and encryption techniques.
