1. Quam Artem Exerceas?

   Quam Artem Exerceas? (Latin for "what do you do for a living?") refers to a question the physician Bernardino Ramazzini, also known as "the father of occupational medicine", often asked his patients to identify work-related causes of diseases they presented with. The work is a scholarly hypertext essay that represents aspects of scientific historiography and aims for maximum scholarly clarity and cohesion.

   With the use of a navigation pane on the left side of the screen, users can traverse the different contextual sections of the treatise easily and can learn about enlightenment thought, early industrial inventions, and early modern litterature art.

2. Completing the Circle

   Completing the Circle is a hypertext fiction about the recovery of a man known as Haller, the victim of a traffic accident in which he lost his partner. Within the narrative he also tries to get in contact with his wife, Christina. This is made difficult, however, as he is suffering from head trauma which causes problems for him when he tries to remember and understand what surrounds him.

   In this creative work, users can interact and scroll through the hypertext by clicking the backspace key or by clicking one of the many links that are hidden throughout the text.

4. Alice in Dataland

   Alice in Dataland is an experiment in critical making created by Anastasia Salter. This is an exploration guided by the question: "Why does Alice in Wonderland endure as a metaphor for experiencing media?" The project leverages material from the University of Florida Afterlife of Alice & Her Adventures in Wonderland collection as well as a range of Alice adaptations and remediations.

   Conceptually, this work is intended to remediate the text of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland into a critical lens for gazing into Alice herself. I've documented my search for Alice in public, on Tumblr, as part of the process of building this work.

5. Twisters

   Twisters is a collection of thousands of short stories written for and posted to the social media platform Twitter by author and creator Arjun Basu, who describes the process of their creation as follows:

    

   In October of 2009, I heard about Twitter and being the curious sort, checked it out. And then for whatever reason, I wrote a “short story” – and that story came in at over 140 characters. And while editing it down, I realized something about the possibilities inherent in the limitations Twitter imposes on all of us. That first story came in at exactly 140 characters. I thought perhaps this was a new form and so I gave it a name: Twisters. And all of my stories since then, now numbering in the thousands, are 140 characters.

   I did this until some point in 2017.

   The works are no longer hosted on Twitter but have beel collated into a categorised and searchable archive on Basu's website.

6. Glass Mountain

   A digital reprint of Donald Barthelme's Glass Mountain—as printed in City Life (1978), published by Pocket Books—hosted on librarian Jessamyn West's website as part of a larger personal repository dedicated to the author and his work. All creative works were collated and published with permission from Frederick Barthelme, Donald's brother.

   Official story blurb:

   A glass mountain sits in the middle of a city and at the top sits a 'beautiful, enchanted symbol'. Seeking to disenchant it, the narrator must climb the mountain. Confronted by the jeers of acquaintances, the bodies of previous climbers and the claws of a guarding eagle he, slowly, begins to ascend. In true postmodernist form, subject and purpose collide as Donald Barthelme uses one-hundred fragmented statements to destabilise a symbol of his own - literature's conventional forms and practices. With a quest, a princess and an array of knights, Barthelme subverts that most traditional of genres, the fairy-tale; irony, absurdity, and playful self-reflexivity are the champions of this short story.

7. Alarmingly These Are Not Lovesick Zombies

   alarmingly these are not lovesick zombies could be considered a near unplayable art-game. Each level is built to be both won and lost, where the player shoots strange enemy objects with increasingly absurd and broken guns, and wildly deviating scoring systems. Behind the experience are odd hand-made videos of toy play and between the levels are narrative clips told with old matchbooks from small towns of the prairie. With perhaps the best title ever given to a game or otherwise, ATANLZ is both disrupted art-game and experience in frenetic madness, an interactive collage engine born from the pixilated undead.

9. From the árran to the internet: Sami storytelling in digital environments

   This essay investigates the use of storytelling in the process of cultural and linguistic revitalization through specific contemporary examples drawn from the Internet. By examining instances of adaptation of Sami tales and legends to digital environments, I discuss new premises and challenges for the emergence of such narratives. In particular, within a contemporary context characterized by an increasing variety of media and channels, as well as by an improvement in minority politics, it is important to examine how expressive culture and traditional modes of expression are transposed and negotiated. The rich Sami storytelling tradition is a central form of cultural expression. Its role in the articulation of norms, values, and discourses within the community has been emphasized in previous research (Balto 1997; Cocq 2008; Fjellström 1986); it is a means for learning and communicating valuable knowledge—a shared understanding. Legends and tales convey information, educate, socialize, and entertain. Their role within contemporary inreach and outreach initiatives is explored in this essay from the perspective of adaptation and revitalization.

10. Elys, The Lacemaker: The Book of Hours of Madame de Lafayette

    The story of Elys, the Lacemaker to the Princess of Cleves is a double-true fiction. First, a lacemaker is not mentioned in the text of Madame de Lafayette's Princess of Cleves. However, the Princess surely had both seamstresses and personal fitters for her couture. It was not uncommon for a proper trousseau to be many years in preparation. Elegant ladies were sewn into their gowns before setting off to the ball. Also, no record attests that the Viscount of Chartres had a natural child--or certainly not one named Elys. But it was customary to donate unwanted souls to the service of the many needs of the Court. As a fictional lacemaker, Elys would certainly have heard the folktale, "Little Red Riding Hood." Early, oral versions of the tale include the wolf asking Riding Hood if she planned to take the "path of pins" or the "path of needles." The Grandmother, too, is blind--attesting to the fate of the real lacemakers who worked from age four until their sight failed in adolescence. I have adapted the Cinderella story for Elys' mother, Elle.
