1. Kvinden ved siden af

   This is the story of two women whose souls switch bodies during their surgery after a traffic accident they were both involved in. The story is told in a standalone iPad app, narrated in part by the sister of one of the women and in part through a series of documents that the sister finds or is given: the doctor's report of the surgery, emails and chat transcripts from people reacting to the soul-swapping, and various other Although the story is entirely linear, the illustrations and the feeling of opening documents on the screen make this short story well suited to the tablet reading environment. The style of writing is humorous and at times somewhat caricatured, though also raising large questions about identity and mortality.

2. Stjernetime

   A short story told from the perspective of a young girl named Stella, who is lying in the grass in the summer sunshine when she realises that she cannot move. She finds that in order to escape from this immobility she can change herself into a series of other things and creatures: a stone, a fish, a house - and she finally finds that she in fact wants to be herself again. This is a lyrical story raising questions of identity and the transition from child to adult.

   The story is displayed as a series of pages with a paragraph on each page and graphical elements beneath. It is entirely linear, but designed to be read on an iPad.

3. Kaos

   A poem where each line is superimposed on a video of a man putting an oddly shaped box on a table and slowly unpacking it. The poem describes the box as containing chaos, bought at a shop and well packaged. The work is entirely linear, but after a few lines of poem and 10-15 seconds of video the image pauses and darkens until the reader touches the screen and thus makes the poem continue. A certain momentum is achieved simply because the reader does not know what is in the box until the end of the poem.

4. Buzz Aldrin Doesn't Know Any Better

   This poem evokes the attempt to make sense out of a conversation with a rambling street person in San Francisco, and its design and interface both contribute to that effect. Lewis breaks up the line into words clustered together in a large font size to form a word cloud. The superposition of the gently rotating words create a dense, white, unreadable mass, which only makes sense around the edges as words are able to briefly break free into a space with better contrast. But just because you can’t read a word doesn’t mean it isn’t there: touching a word on the screen makes it appear along with the rest of the words in the line, by changing the font color to purple. One word in each line is a softer shade of purple and will follow your fingertip on the surface of the touchscreen. (Source: Leonardo Flores, I ♥ E-Poetry)

5. What They Speak When They Speak to Me

   Originally produced as an installation piece for large touchscreen monitors in 2007, this poem is now available as a free iOS App. The Speak app turns all the letters of the poems into a kind of letter cloud or constellation but with the letters hovering over their relative position. When you touch the screen and drag your fingertip across it, the poetic line is reconstituted from that point onwards, following the trail left by your finger’s movement, and fading back into the cloud when you lift your finger. This allows for readers to experience incomplete lines and incomplete words, depending on where you’ve touched in the sentence. Lewis engages this computational structure in his poem thematically, because it is about miscommunication across language, culture, and identity. The snippets of comprehension one gets when hearing speech in different languages are echoed in the poem’s structure.

9. Meanwhile

   "Meanwhile" begins as our young hero in dire need of a bathroom, knocks on the door of a mysterious recluse. His mansion is in fact a wonderous laboratory filled with amazing inventions: A mind reading helmet, a doomsday device and a time travel machine (although it can only go back ten minutes). Which invention will young Jimmy play with? YOU, the reader get to decide in my branchiest and most complex interactive comic to date. "Meanwhile" works via a network of tubes connecting each panel to the next. Sometimes these tubes split in two giving the readers a choice of which path they would like to follow. Sometimes these tubes even lead off the page and onto tabs sticking out from other parts of the book. Inspired by Scott Mccloud I exploded "Meanwhile" onto a 5'x5' matrix in 2004. I'm currently working on a way to bring it to the web somehow. (Source: author website) Originally published as a book. This entry refers to the 2012 iPad adaptation, which was done by Andrew Plotkin.

10. Don't Let the Pigeon Run This App!

    This adaptation of the prize-winning children's book "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" is a combinatory work where children can choose between three options. The "Egg" mode generates a story without input from the child. The "Chick" mode lets the child choose from sets of objects and goals, for instance, "Complete this sentence: The Pigeon wants to... rule the world / drive a bus / eat your dinner." The story is then told with the child's choices inserted. In the "Big Pigeon" mode, the child can record their own story elements and a story is generated using the child's voice along with the pre-recorded audio.
