MetaGenesis
Organized by the Genesis narrative into 7 parts, one for each day, this work places the Biblical story of the creation of the world in conversation with modern times. Its sociopolitical tone is reinforced with references to literary characters, postmodern theorists, scientists, wars, the Internet, and civil rights leaders. Each piece contains a small Flash animation or interactive piece, some of which are clearly e-poems. These are the most delightful parts of this work because they manage to be playful without compromising the tone of the poem, a strategy echoed throughout this whole work. Thuan strikes a delicate balance between solemnity and tongue-in-cheekiness that lowers our guard so the seriousness of his piece can come through to us. (Source: Leonardo Flores, I ♥ E-Poetry)

The Book of Kells
From Samantha Gorman's artist statement for The Book of Kells: "Deconstruction is a weaving of historical study, literary theory, travel narrative, meditative prose, mystical contemplation, and academic inquiry. All elements are united by research and reflection on The Book of Kells, an illuminated Latin version of the Bible circa 800 AD, and the techniques that produced it. The prose of Deconstruction is informed by my travel and close survey of The Book of Kells at Trinity College Dublin. Additionally, Deconstruction touches upon the evolution of how writing is disseminated from manuscript culture to Gutenberg and the Internet, as well as how these media are implicated in the increasing liberation of the reader, both in terms of social access and the reading practice itself ... Reflecting on the original manuscript's hypertextual melding of text and image, the icons of The Book prompt the texts of Deconstruction: lexias emerge from and are symbolized by designs on the manuscript's folios. Overall, the work is a study on the original manuscript within the scriptorium of electronic media and methods."
