This hypertext poem is structured linearly, yet it offers a couple of forks in the road which can sometimes lead to endless delay. Based on a holiday in Rome, the speaker’s sends her wandering eye and inquisitive mind through the city combining text and thematically related images in each node. The first node triggers a popup window titled “Rome_index” which provides a 6 x 5 grid of thumbnail images that respond to mouseovers, bringing up new images of Rome. This sensitive surface allows readers to perform a psychogeographic exploration of Rome as perceived by the speaker’s photographic eye. The circular linearity of the poem allows you to experience it multiple times, each time observing new snippets of this ancient city to juxtapose with the poem’s lyric voice. Note: This poem is best read in Internet Explorer because it uses older JavaScript codes to create pop-up windows in a way that other contemporary browsers have difficulty understanding. You will need to enable pop up windows in your browser to allow all pop ups from the site. (Source: Leonardo Flores, I ♥ E-Poetry)

Web Warp & Weft
Web Warp & Weft was created with the support of East Midlands Arts and the backing of the trAce Online Writing Centre at Nottingham Trent University.
This project aimed to explore the ways in which women and men have woven their own stories with yarn and thread, with rugs and quilts and textiles. The website was designed to thread the ideas together and work the threads [stories] into a hypertext with pictures, sound and animation, to create a bigger picture, an overall story.
The project was based in Nottingham, which has a particularly notable history of textile creation, including frame-knitting, lacemaking, and more contemporary manufacturing processes.

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.

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.

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)

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)

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. [Taken from http://www.g-mk.hr/online/dreams/eng/about.htm ]

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.
