The Talking Dead
From the project-web site: For Halloween 2010, players took on the character of a famous dead personage, as they mysteriously manifested on Halloween weekend. The festivities concluded with a ghostly ball at the spectral Cocoanut Grove Nightclub, before the party was crashed by some unwelcome guests.

B A C K L I T
B A C K L I T seeks to invite the recombination of word and image from translocal communities of conversants on diverse e-list servers, Facebook, and Twitter. Members of list‐servers are asked to send both an image and a text of no more than 140 characters to performer, and to do so in response to thought processes/actions given rise to by the phrase "Remediating the Social". The performer will recombine those elements. The piece itself is simple, complexity will be generated by the volume of submissions.

10 Print ebooks
This bot mashes up the complete text of my 10 PRINT book and generates occasionally nonsensical but often genius Markov chain tweets from it. The bot also incorporates text from other tweets that use the #10print hashtag, meaning it “learns” from the community. [...]The 10 PRINT bot is built in Processing.
From author's description in "<a href="http://www.samplereality.com/2013/01/12/from-fish-to-print-my-2012-in-re... Fish to Print: My 2012 Year in Review."</a>

The 24-Hr. Micro-Elit Project
The 24-Hr. Micro-Elit Project experiments with microfiction, or flash fiction, a genre of literature that generally entails narratives of only 300-1000 words. Inspired by Richard Brautigan’s pithy “The Scarlatti Tilt”, a story of only 34 words published in 1971, my work involves 24 stories of 140 characters or less about life in an American city in the 21st C. delivered––or “tweeted”––on Twitter over a 24 hr. period.
The launch date was Friday, August 21, beginning 12 a.m. PST. Each hour until 11 p.m., I posted a story, and followers of my twitter site were encouraged to tweet their own. After followers tweeted their stories, I cut and pasted them to the Project Blog. An archive of all of the stories can be found there.

#outofblue
From tweets to literature From the 1,000 posted tweets with the hashtag #outofblue, I developed a literary text. Just by selecting, shortening, arranging and repeating the tweets. Without adding any kind of text written by myself. Of course, also the title of the text was taken from a tweet: “Engelvariationen” (angel variations) – nothing could be more appropriate for a text, which deals with abstraction. Because the text, just like the event in the “Haus der Kunst”, is designed to experience abstraction. The text is not a documentation of the tweetup as such, but rather an exercise of abstraction. It calls for adventure. This might be exhausting, but promises a stunning experience. Enjoy!

I Work for the Web: a netprov
I Work for the Web was a netprov held in April 2015 on Twitter and Facebook. The premise: The "I Work for the Web" campaign, created by RockeHearst Omnipresent Bundlers, asked users to Tweet what it would be like if all their Liking, Following, and Favoriting were their jobs. But not everyone was a happy little link laborer. A movement was brewing. Resistance from the workers led to the founding of a union, The International Web and Facetwite Workers. But then something happened at the Web workers favorite diner Nighthawks the night of April 4th. But what? As the struggle between the burgeoning union movement and the Free corporate web played out, leaders, heroes, and cowards emerged in the form of Web workers of all walks of life from cats to children's toys. I Work for the Web was a reflection on the free labor we provide for the Internet and those who capitalize on it. Players joined by using the #IWFW hashtag or by joining the FB group.

RIMA
RIMA (twitter stream http://twitter.com/squidsilo) is a performance installation and digital media work that conceptually addresses strategies for survival by way of poetically re-framing the facts behind the effects of solitary confinement and isolation into a fictional present/future. Notions around stimulus and memory are played out through the performers movement within the physical space (proximity, sound, touch) and the data collection of distinct environmental changes (cold, hot, light, dark), which trigger strategically placed sensors collated by a computer program. This in turn dispatches a relational virtual text stream delivered to a live webpage and/or twitter feed (twitter fiction). The overall effect is a mimic of real-time thoughts, responses and actions, which over time slowly build into a fictional narrative somewhere between an indistinct present and a sci-fi future.

Wikisext
Every hour, this bot draws language from wikiHow, repackages and recontextualizes it as a sexting message, and tweets it. Part of its process is to add pronouns “I,” “you,” or both to the instructions and actions described, in addition to prefacing each tweet with “sext.” Its output invites readers to interpret bland, utilitarian language metaphorically because it’s conceptually framed as sexting. The scenario of people sending sexually explicit messages back and forth, describing things they are doing to their bodies, contrasts sharply with the step-by-step instructions common to wikiHow, resulting in surprising and humorous results. Follow this bot on Twitter to learn many new euphemisms for sexual acts and the expressive potential of conceptual reframing. (Source: Editorial Statement from the works collection site)

Prism Portraits
Prism Portraits is a participatory social media archive that challenges the audience to critically re-examine digital photo filters and their effects on our (self-)perception. The project comprises three components: participants’ smartphone cameras, a dedicated hashtag (#prismportraits) and a set of instructions for participants.
The instructions will ask participants to take a selfie, select a hue-based filter (either from their preferred social media platform or a photo-editing software), and share the picture on Instagram using #prismportraits. Participants will also be asked to include a rationale explaining their filter choice, answering a set of questions such as: how does this filter change the way your self-perception in this photo? Seeing yourself in this manner, what emotions and thoughts do you experience? Audience members can search the hashtag to view the other Prism Portraits, and are encouraged to express their reactions to the portraits in the comments.
