Deep Surface
Deep Surface is the monstrous progeny of a strange romance between a reading machine and a free-diving simulator. Literature at crush depth. Hypertext gets wet. Generically, it is yet another instrument: one of those things you can play (or play with), without playing a game. There are rules here, and procedures, and (as in Real Life) a more or less invisible scoring system; so astute players may be able to invent clever and even elegant strategies. But if you're not feeling astute, you can plunge in and have a dip, immersing yourself in what signs and symptoms may present themselves as you pass by, dreaming perhaps of meaning... till robot voices wake you, and you drown.

Golpe de Gracia
Golpe de gracia is an interactive multimedia piece that combines text, illustration, audio, modeling, and animation and tells the story of a character who undergoes a "near death" experience; this particular situation also functions as a metaphor for the cultural transitions of the present moment. The text is comprised of three "narrative worlds": Cadáver exquisito, L'nea mortal and Muerte digital (Exquisite Corpse, Mortal Line, and Digital Death, respectively) and four "deepening rooms" (games, reading texts, study, and construction). The work offers several different degrees of interaction that range from taking decisions in order to follow the routes, all the way up to the collective construction of the text, along the way participating in several interactive games. Golpe de gracia also has an educative and communicative purpose, which is to make us aware of, and to contribute to, the development of collective knowledge.

Epitaph Gertrude Stein
Rules of the game. An international epitaph is to be created in honour of Gertrude Stein, who died on 27 July 1946. The subject prescribed for this international epitaph is the last (No. LXXXIII) of the Stanzas in meditation ("Why am I if I am..."). We are looking for textual, audio and grafic elaborations of the theme. The texts should, like the prescribed stanza, consist of fourteen lines/verses. The last verse must read: These stanzas are done. It is left to the individual author wether he/she follow the structure of the prescribed stanza by Gertrude Stein (diminishing/increasing length of line, rhymes, etc.) or react to other texts of the Epitaph in free association. The text should at any event be written in the author's mother tongue and if possible accompanied by the rough translation or a free version in German. The audio creations must for technical reasons be noted in letters. Graphic contributions should not exceed to format 30 x 30 cm.

Nobody knows but you
nobody knows but you was written for Double-Cute Battle Mode, an application prototype for a VJ (video jockey) remix battle. DCBM allows two players to combine visuals and special effects in a playful competition for screen space. Using joysticks, players plug their imagination into their computer and share a creative space in an intuitive video-game style interaction. The piece was conceived as a way to ease text back into an image-dominated culture by treating it simultaneously as a visual special effect and as a poem. The twenty-three verses appear on a plane in three-dimensional space. A cube shape displays additional visuals. Both the cube and the plane may be scaled and rotated, and the reader has control over which verse or image is displayed. You may notice in the image at top left, or while watching the installation video, a twelve-year-old girl plopped down in front of the installation. She played with the piece on and off for three hours. She began singing the words, making up melodies and turning certain verses into refrains. There is a clear lack of literature that responds to the intellectual and creative needs of young people today.

Living Will
To experience “Living Will,” a story-game and interactive fiction, the reader must choose to be one of the heirs of Coltan-magnate E.R. Millhouse, who has made his fortune in the Democratic Republic of Congo. While reading, the heir navigates this unique legal instrument, slowly accruing medical and legal fees, while also grabbing bequests from her fellow heirs. The piece explores the long shadow of colonialism, the conflict minerals buried in our mobile phones, and the heart of darkness of a dying imperialist seeking to extend his control beyond the grave.

Буриме Игра в буриме (< франц. bouts rimés) -- старое и любимое развлечение. Заключается она в том, что все участники пишут четверостишия на заданные рифмы. Нелепость и случайность рифмы иногда высекает неожиданную мысль. А иногда не высекает. На этой странице представлена несколько модифицированная версия игры. Рифмы для сочинения будут вам выданы случайно из словаря. Чтобы было интереснее, словарь должен пополняться. Поэтому вы получите рифмы для сочинения после того, как придумаете новую рифму для словаря. Если у вас есть хорошая рифма, а сочинять не хочется, все равно внесите ее в словарь, пожалуйста. Хорошая рифма для буриме должна будить образ неожиданным сближением далеких, а лучше -- контрастных, понятий. Она может включать слова в косвенных падежах и глагольных формах, а также словосочетания. Избегайте вспомогательных, проходных слов, вроде сейчас, что, ваша, было. Воздерживайтесь от существительных в именительном падеже. Придумайте рифму и впишите ее на следующей строчке, вот так: трюизмы/круиз мы. Можно писать в КОИ или в стандартной транслитерации. Пользуйтесь словарями. / рифму и получить задание.
