  1. The ABCDESTRUCTIONOPQRXYZÅÄÖ

    Heldén's usual sophisticated visual language has here been cast aside in preference for a strictly simple HTML construction where texts, photographs and the urging to keep moving forwards drive the reading of this short work (next, next...). The work shows how digital techniques can allow for relatively simple arrangements of text and images that still belong in a digital environment.

  3. Three Rails Live

    “Three Rails Live” (2011) by Roderick Coover, Nick Montfort, and Scott Rettberg is an experiment in combinatory poetics, a generative system that results in the production of short narrative videos, stories with a moral to them.

  4. Notes on the Voyage of Owl and Girl

    Notes on the Voyage of Owl and Girl is a work of digital fiction. Any resemblance to actual events, persons, places or texts is entirely intentional. Details from many a high sea story have been netted by this net-worked work. The combinatorial powers of computer-generated narrative conflate and confabulate characters, facts, and forms of narrative accounts of sea voyages into the unknown North undertaken over the past 2340 years. At the furthest edge of this assemblage floats the fantastical classical island of Ultima Thule and the strange phenomenon known to the Romans as sea lung. Sprung from Edward Leer’s Victorian nonsense poem, a lazy and somewhat laconic owl and a girl most serious, most adventurous, most determined, have set sail toward this strange sea in a boat of pea-, bottle-, lima-bean- or similar shade of green.

  5. Condiciones extremas

    Condiciones Extremas es una obra de narrativa digital que ha sufrido tres procesos de re-escritura con tres técnicas diferentes. Es, esencialmente, una novela experimental que ha servido como conejillo de indias para ensayar técnicas de autoría e interacción de los lectores. La versión actual, la número 3, fue construida entre 2003 y 2005. Esta versión (2005) fue esencial en la construcción del motor especializado de inteligencia artificial que funciona en Literatronica.com. Esta obra es un experimento sobre lectura no-lineal en el medio digital, ya que el arreglo circular de eventos permite naturalmente saltos narrativos. En contraposición, El Primer Vuelo de los Hermanos Wright es una novela experimental diseñada para lectura lineal.

  6. AUTHENTIC IN ALL CAPS

    AUTHENTIC IN ALL CAPS is a web audio adventure about the meaning of death. It draws audio drama, audio tours and alternate reality gaming. The use of audio is an attempt to create a sense of unity in a highly fragmented experience. I see the techniques and experience of audio tours as a way to bring disparate elements together. Just as an audio tour involves guiding a listener to different places, this audio experience guides players to different websites. I include both custom and existing sites, and so this project continues my interest in pervasive design: where the players’ world is part of the fictional world. The story is born out of the pain of suddenly losing my mother, and facing the meaninglessness of my life. I got past heaviness of the subject matter by drawing on my early days in sketch comedy theatre, unifying the disparate times of my life.

  7. Ice-bound

    Ice-bound is an interactive novel that combines a printed art book with an iPad app. Our goal was to create an experience with both high-quality surface text and significant player agency. The story concerns an encounter with a fictional artificial intelligence, a simulation of a long-dead author who enlists the player's help to finish his original's final novel. Inspired by the dense, labyrinthical texture of works like Nabokov's Pale Fire and Mark Danielewski's House of Leaves, the novel is a unique collaboration between two artists, both of whom are writers, coders, and graphic designers. Each story is built around a dynamically chosen set of symbols representing possible elements of the story. These might be traits a character could have, or plots that could be included in the story. When a story is first visited, the symbols are assigned to an author-defined group of sockets which can be turned on or off by the player. However, the player can only turn a limited number of sockets on at one time.

  8. Beyond Original E-Lit: Deconstructing Austen Cybertexts

    This poster outlines some of the key elements of PhD research currently being undertaken in Maynooth University’s Department of Media Studies. The power provides a visual overview of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries case study and its transmedia elements, highlighting the narrative’s various entry points and potential story paths. The poster also includes some initial insights from a critical comparative analysis of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries and Pride and Prejudice, revealing the key differences between the digital and print reading experiences. Lastly, the poster outlines the planned progression of the project during the next few years, with a particular emphasis on connecting Espen Aarseth’s theories of ergodic literature and cybertexts to The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.

  9. Dwarf Fortress

    Dwarf Fortress is a complex, text-based computer game that has been in development by Tarn and Zach Adams since 2002. The game begins by first procedurally generating an expansive, dynamic world in which players attempt to guide an exponentially increasing colony of temperamental dwarves to build and manage within an ever expanding fortress. The task is made difficult by both the unpredictable and emergent behaviors of the simulation as well as by the anachronistic and arduous interface: a screen full of ASCII characters recalling the personal computers of the early 1980s. Inspired by games like Rogue (1980) and Sim City (1989), the stark textual interface contrasts with the game's complexity as Dwarf Fortress can easily consume all available processing power of a contemporary computer.
