1. "Where you will have been I am..." [not yet found]

   "A short, live performance work, the words for which will have been written with and against their Google-indexed networked corpus. The words may ask, 'Where were you, after we heard about the accident but as yet we did not know?' I will ask the audience to make simple gestures in order to hear the language of the piece."

2. The Precession

   The Precession is a data-driven networked poem being developed simultaneously as both a large-scale installation and live performance. The work makes use of original writing and real-time data collection to create visual-poetic arrangements based on inquiries into architecture and the night sky. The piece mixes databased sources, real-time interruptions, and algorithmic composition in an evolving ecology.

   The Precession considers as a primary source Oskar J.W. Hansen's sculpture Winged Figures of the Republic permanently installed at the Hoover Dam. Hansen's 1935 work commemorates the building of the dam and includes a complex celestial map. Beginning with the date of the dam's dedication, the map contains the data for someone skilled in astronomy to accurately trace the position of the polestar each subsequent night for the next 26,000 years.

   The online work, in its current state of development, is mainly time-based taking approximately 20 minutes (with links to individual areas also accessible).
