1. Whispering

   This video poem delivers lines of poetry in a sequence that emphasizes lines and words through kinetic language and precise timing to unnerve the reader. From the outset, it begins to set its creepy tone through as short looping soundtrack that provides a metronomic quality to the poem, which unfolds line by line drawing attention to certain words by flashing snippets of almost recognizable images and words. Its visual design uses oranges and reds to contrast with a blue window-like rectangle that changes position slightly over the course of the poem. The train-like sound reinforces a sense that the reader is on rails, leading to an inevitable, chilling conclusion as the poem’s imagery unfolds and the reader realizes where this is leading its readers.

2. The Mall as a Machine for Living

   This delightfully subversive hypertext poem is designed much like the mall it critiques. The reader browses from node to node in a linear or meandering way much like a shopper enters a mall or department store space and walks from store to store, discovering a variety of texts that hold together very nicely. The texts are sometimes about architecture, malls, cathedrals, and the Mall of America. One of the largest in the world, this giant mall in Minnesota is the focal point for a series of conceptual blends that lead the poem deep into absurdity. This is a piece that unfolds in the reader’s head as the seemingly factual information presented start to strain verosimilitude in a very semantic appropriation of prosaic language.

4. Bus

   “Bus” creates a soundscape of the interior of a bus in an urban location, and then uses a black screen for over a minute at the beginning of the piece to focus our attention on the aural information. When the narrative prose starts to flow on the screen, the narrator can focus on describing what he sees and we become immersed in his observations without needing further elaboration on the setting we’re in. The wandering eye approach to this and the next poem yields acute observations of human behavior while revealing much about the narrator & speaker. (Source: Leonardo Flores, I ♥ E-Poetry)

5. Evening: 42 to 71

   “Evening: 42 to 71” has a similar structure, but the lines of free verse appear on screen for just long enough to read them, before the next stanza replaces it. Here the speaker is also observing the action, presumably in a bus, and his rich imagination creates entire fantasies and situations that are confronted by reality. The use of music sets a creepy tone but the ambient sounds towards the end suggest that we’re in a much more common space, perhaps a bus in New York City. (Source: Leonardo Flores, I ♥ E-Poetry)

6. Mreža snova (The Dream Net)

   “The Dream Net” is an Internet adaptation of the ambiance that Kata Mijatovic executed using textual descriptions of her dreams at the exhibition K+Z in Fine Arts Gallery, Slavonski Brod, 2001. The on-line texts are complemented with visual materials according to the artist’s code. The possibility of hypertext linking is used to structure a network of dreams similar to a labyrinth. The work has no real beginning nor ending, navigation becomes vague and every further step leads deeper into the realm of unconsciousness.

10. Figure 5 Media Series

    The e-poem, video, and painting in this study were inspired by William Carlos Williams’ celebrated poem “The Great Figure.” It is fascinating to see how each artist (including Williams) used the materials of his/her medium to capture a vivid moment of human experience.
