  1. overboard

    John Cayley, with Giles Perring and Douglas Cape.

    overboard is an example of literal art in digital media that demonstrates an 'ambient' time-based poetics. There is a stable text underlying its continuously changing display and this text may occasionally rise to the surface of normal legibility in its entirety. However, overboard is installed as a dynamic linguistic 'wall-hanging,' an ever-moving 'language painting.' As time passes, the text drifts continually in and out of familiar legibility - sinking, rising, and sometimes in part, 'going under' or drowning, then rising to the surface once again. It does this by running a program of simple but carefully designed algorithms which allow letters to be replaced by other letters that are in some way similar to the those of the original text. Word shapes, for example, are largely preserved. In fact, except when 'drowning,' the text is always legible to a reader who is prepared to take time and recover its principles. A willing reader is able to preserve or 'save' the text's legibility.

  2. Textmaschinen- Kinetische Poesie- Interaktive Installation: Studien zu einer Hermeneutik digitaler Kunst

    From the publisher: Die digitalen Medien führen Experimente der klassischen Avantgarde weiter und bringen neue künstlerische Ausdrucksformen hervor. Doch wie begegnet man diesen ästhetischen Phänomenen? Soll man sich ganz auf die Materialität der Zeichen konzentrieren, auf die Intensität des Erlebens im Rahmen einer »Kultur der Präsenz«? Soll man das Erlebte der Interpretation unterziehen, im Rahmen einer »Kultur des Sinns«, die im Deutungsprozess auch Verunsicherung riskiert?Dieses Buch – eine theoretische Einführung ins Feld digitaler Kunst – diskutiert beide Optionen anhand ausführlicher Fallstudien zu interaktiven Installationen, kinetisch-konkreter Poesie, computergenerierten Texten und Mapping-Kunst.
