1. Michigan Agricultural College Tour

   This is a tour of Michigan Agricultural College that is told as though the year is 1918. Readers access the tour through the geo-social network service Gowalla on their smart phones, and can check off each building or site as they physically visit it. The tour can also be read on the web. The tour is presented by the fictional Gowalla user Erasmus Cole, a third year student at the Michigan Agricultural College and part of the class of 1919, and he and other fictional characters have also posted photos and comments on each site as though in the year 1918. This work uses standard features of Gowalla to present a fictionalized, historical documentary tour through the college campus. As readers and random Gowalla users visit the site, their comments intermingle with comments from the fictional characters.

2. Writing for the New Millennium: The Birth of Electronic Literature

   Robert Kendall describes his work in electronic literature from 1990 to 1995, and presents the field in general to a general literary audience. The article in its online form includes many links. This is also an early use of the term "electronic literature" to describe the field.

3. Brautigan Bibliography and Archive: Digitizing a Literary Life

   I discuss the digitization of the literary life of author Richard Brautigan, a novelist, poet, and short story writer often cited as the writer to best capture the zeitgeist of the counterculture movement in San Francisco during the late 1960s and early 1970s. This digitization creates not only an archive, but a literary bio-bibliography as well, one that is written not from the perspective of an individual author or archivist (myself), but rather as an upshot of heretofore unachievable associations and interconnections of multiple kinds and sources of information (biographical, bibliographical, historical, ethnographical). The result is a 3-D knowledge base, a "data hive" with a unique and individual electronic literary presence

4. High Muck a Muck: Playing Chinese

   High Muck-a-Muck: Playing Chinese explores the narratives and tensions of historical and contemporary Chinese immigration to Canada. The project is both an interactive installation and an interactive website. Accompanying the installation and embedded within the website are eight videopoems. The piece is a result of a collaboration between eleven writers, artists and programmers and was created over three years from 2011–2014. The installation received its first public exhibition at Oxygen Art Centre in Nelson, BC in July, 2014. The digital work was created in HTML 5. The three aspects of the project – videos, interactive installation and website – can be exhibited together or in discrete parts. (source: ELO 2015 catalog)

5. The Wonders of Lost Trajectories

   A collaboration with the Queensland State Archives, this is a collection of digital poems using archival material built into a physical space. Interactive elements cleverly repurpose old archive equipment such as card index drawers and microfiche machines. The poems draw on Brisbane’s past and recreate the experience of losing yourself in archival material.
