reWrite
interactive language based installation
The focus of an artwork such as reWrite is identity. The work addresses this theme through the use of interactive systems, where the relationship between the viewer and the artwork is explicit and active. This act of interaction functions to raise questions concerning being and, through the process of communication, the linguistic foundations of identity.

Language artworks, such as reWrite, map an exploration of the manner in which this dynamic of differentiation through reading/writing can be disturbed and opened up as a conscious process. The primary element in this strategy has been the use of auto-generative texts, where the text appears correctly written and to be concerned with a particular subject but where there has been no authorial role other than the processes of a mechanised writing. The intent here is to create instances of textuality where the text is written of itself. That is to say, the text is generated as a function of language itself. Authorial intent is absent, replaced by a process of auto-generative writing.

my Molly (departed)
my Molly (departed), formerly titled Twittering, is a textual instrument designed as a performance application. The pieces remixes text, image, audio, and video triggered through keyboard interaction. The work has been performed at the OpenPort Performance Festival (Chicago), ePoetry 2007 (Paris), The Codework Workshop (West Virginia University), The Electronic Literature in Europe Conference (Bergen Norway), and the Interrupt Festival (Brown University).
The piece coexists with a novel (Free Dogma Press) that was written simultaneous to the development of this work. Where the novel plays on aspects of time, and draws from sources such as Joyce, Strindberg, Beckett, Dante, among others; the hypermedia textual instrument combines these in a more immediate, collapsed manner.

Saving the Alphabet
This subtly haunting poem tells the story of how each letter from the alphabet disappeared, or was made to disappear, by corporations obeying a secret agenda. The conspiracy theory overtones are underscored by the use of sound, a short loop of metallic whispering wind or water and a handful of soft musical notes. Clicking on each letter on the left hand column will take you to the corresponding letter and narrative of its disappearance, with the large letter disappearing as you read the accompanying text, but it also starts a slower, almost imperceptible, fading process of those letters in the entire work. If you click through quickly and read the whole poem you may not even notice, but step away for a minute and you’ll find that the letters you have read have disappeared from all the language in the poem and the result may be challenging to read (see image below). This more than anything provides a visceral impact, as we try to read a barely functional language mutilated by loss of letters.

Le Rabot poète
Le rabot-poète appartient à la série des « petits poèmes à lecture inconfortable ». Le lecteur doit en permanence déplacer la souris d’avant en arrière s’il veut « raboter » l’aplat qui se reforme continuellement et ainsi accéder à la lecture de l’animation qui se déroule sous ce dernier. Qui, du texte ou du lecteur, contrôle l’autre ? Le ridicule ou le jeu ne l’emportent-ils pas sur le littéraire ? Que lit-on quand le zapping et l’action sont ainsi forcés ? Mais finalement, raboter la couleur de l’eau pour revenir sur l’eau dans l’animation, n’est-ce pas tout simplement réaliser une figure de rhétorique dont le lecteur est l’instrument ? Alors : immersion dans le texte ou, au contraire, le texte s’immerge-t-il jusque dans le lecteur ?
Poésie du dispositif, de la relation plus que de l’écrit ; un texte à voir et à lire qui n’est plus pensé ni comme un ensemble de mots, ni en termes d’image.

Ghost City
Ghost City is a website that focuses on the representation of the city by the mass media. It uses the space of the web as a sculptural space, allowing viewers to interact with animated graphics to delve deeper and deeper into an imaginary city.
Ghost City is a labyrinthine environment through which viewers can navigate, either following the linear narrative that unfolds by moving from page to page, or they can delve into the non-linear chaos of random links. Each space is made up of appropriated images and texts. The images are culled from various print media sources. The texts are either found passages from urban theory or specifically written poetic musings on the city.
