1. 5 Haitis

   This multimedia work about the 2010 earthquake in Haiti breathes life into the disaster by allowing readers to explore the stories of three characters who experienced the disaster. The winner of the 2011 New Media Writing prize in the student category, this is a truly a work that arises from the logic of new media writing, seamlessly integrating elements of comics, narrative, cyberdrama, electronic literature, and videogames.

2. Campbell's Soup Town

   This piece was commissioned as part of the Edge of Elsewhere project in 2010 and exhibited in January 2011 in the Campbelltown Arts Centre near Sydney, Australia. As part of the project, the Campbelltown City Council announced workshops with YHCHI as follows:

   In the iconic text animation style of Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, the finished work will tell a story of a futuristic city, dreamt up by participants using the animations they develop in the workshops.

   The resulting narrative is deliciously absurd story of a town taken over by Campbell’s soup company where”everything is made from soup and for soup.” The narrative that follows is a wicked critique of neoliberalism, factory towns, corporate appropriation of the world, pop and op art, with reverse Soylent Green undertones andcould be described as a kind of science fiction magical realism. The original electronica music is kitschy enough to be described as cheesy (pardon the pun, but this piece is full of them), enhancing its self aware campiness.

3. @georgelazenby : How Goes the Enemy?

   This conceptual video poem takes the idea of scheduled presentation to a mind-boggling scale. It consists of 19 lines from the @georgelazenby Twitter feed presented in 5-second loops times its factorial factorial, so upon launching, the first line will play right away (5x0), the second will play after 5 seconds (5x1), the third after 10 seconds (5x2), the fourth after 30 seconds (5x6), the fifth after 2 minutes (5x24), the sixth after 10 minutes (5x120), the seventh after 1 hour (5x720), the eighth after 7 hours (5x5040), the eighth after 2 days and 8 hours (5x40320), the ninth after 21 days (5x362880), and… you get the idea. It not only becomes impractical but humanly impossible, since the time scale continues to grow line by line until it is longer than the age of the universe. Can you keep the computer running continuously for more than the 6 years it takes to reach line 11? How about the 75 years after that to reach line 12?

5. @frodegrytten (microfictions on Twitter)

   Hver dag fra 2011-2013 posted Frode Grytten svært korte noveller på 140 tegn til Twitter. Ofte brukes journalistiske konvensjoner, som å angi alder på personene i parantes, og nesten alltid er tematikken trist.

8. Disposable Language

   This performance is based on Memmott’s video poem “NONCE.EXECUTOR” a poem that juxtaposes words with phrases and images that somehow define or describe them. The dancers are positioned between the screen and a disheveled blonde doll sitting on the front of the stage with a spotlight shining on it. The dancers’ movements are very doll-like, making stiff movements that emphasize their joints and how they bend and rotate on dolls. Are the dancers an explanation or description of the doll?

   Choreography: Ashley Peters
   Poetry: Talan Memmott (“NONCE.EXECUTOR”)
   Dancers: Samantha Crosby, Danielle Delong, Julie Marazzo, Kristina Merrill, Shannon Moore, Megan Rutkowski, Holli Simme, Julia Tomanovich, Emily Wilhelm

9. Expansive Mayhem

   The interpretive dance performance seeks to evoke the experience of a concussion and does so by clustering six dancers on a side of the stage using red lighting to suggest a sense of the inside of the speaker’s head. When the dancers are clustered, swaying semi-coherently, they evoke the sense of a brain function normally, but as the piece progresses it begins to unravel, as the dancers spiral out of control. Their disjointed movements as they each dance on their own, spread around the stage mimics the cognitive impact of a concussion, echoed by the language hovering over them. The dance performance concludes by returning to normal function, urgently, as one of the dancers runs around the reorganized collective, as if trying to hold them together by sheer force of will as the screen and stage fade to black, leading us to wonder. Has the brain been healed? Has normal language function returned?

   “Expansive Mayhem”
   Choreography: Julia Tedesco and Ellie Sanna
   Poetry: Loss Pequeño Glazier (“Io Sono At Swoons “)
   Music: Jai Uttal and Ben Leinbach
   Dancers: Melissa Hunt, Marika Matsuzak, Stephanie Ohman, Sammi Pfieffer, Samantha Will, Jessica Viglianco

10. Welcome to Pine Point

    his award-winning Web documentary about a short-lived mining town in Canada made the 2011 New Media Writing Award shortlist. A masterful, lovingly produced piece is challenging to categorize in terms of genre: is it a video (its interactivity and born-digital ontology make it difficult to label as “film”), memoir, narrative, poem, or an artistic website? As a multimedia work (using audio, video, text, images) that requires multimodal engagement (reading, listening, viewing, interaction) from its audience, it is fittingly multi-generic.
