1. Out of Touch

   In our world of perpetual connectivity, touching interfaces that keep us out of reach, we form attachments whilst remaining detached, by turns kindling and dampening emotions. Conceived as the first in a series of musings on the paradoxical and sometimes poignant nature of human relationships amid networked life, Out of Touch was created in Flash and incorporates text sequences, randomness, intensively filtered video, sound and cut-up voices.

   This Out of Touch episode was commissioned by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art for the Third Hand Plays series curated by Brian Stefans, who wrote:

2. Machine Libertine

   Machine Libertine is media poetry group. The method of our work is the exploration of the role of media in the development of literary art practices including video poetry, text generators and performance art. The main principles of the group are formulated in our Machine Poetry Manifesto pointing out the idea of liberation of the machines from the routine tasks and increasing the intensity of their use for creative and educational practices. Machine Libertine had been founded in December 2010 starting with a video poetry called Snow Queen, a piece for British Council and presented recently at Purple Blurb series at MIT and Harvard. It is a combination of masculine poetry «Poison Tree» by William Blake contrasted to mechanic female MacOS voice and cubistic video imagery of Souzfilm animation «Snow Queen» (1957). We are exploring how the text can be transformed by mechanized reading and visualizing it and what are the possible limits of this transmedia play of interpretation.

   Description from Festival Images Contre Nature, Marseille 2013: programme identité

   "natyr" est la troisième vidéo dans laquelle l'artiste norvégien Ottar Ormstad combine à de la poésie concrète, image, musique et son. Dans ce cas, la vidéo se construit sur le travail du peintre norvégien Knut Rumohr (1916-2002) ayant surtout réalisé des peintures abstraites à la tempera, inspirées par la nature d'un fjord sur la côte ouest de la Norvège. Ormstad, une fois de plus, continue de mélanger des mots de différentes langues. Un concept qu'il a présenté dans "La Non-Traduction comme Expérience Poétique" à la conférence Translating E-Lit, en 2012 à Paris. Le mot "natyr" ne peut exister dans aucune langue, mais peut être éprouvé grâce à différentes associations liées à la nature. La vidéo (HD 16:9) est faite pour une diffusion plein écran (4:45 min). Exceptée l'animation d’Ina Pillat, direction et création sont de Ormstad, photographie et musique incluses.

5. I : * ttter

   The work is based on the Kinect 3D sensor. In the artist's words: "This interactive installation utilizes the remake principle in two ways: a textual level -- interacting with leading works of international Net.Art and a sonic level -- in relation to the fundamentals of the theremin." They explain that "The performance refers to the constant remixing of the textual as well as media material. It also questions the use and perception of the text that is excluded from its original media environment. It wants to direct the attention to the history of media art in Central Europe and bring to the public the possibility to remix the works in real time.

6. Huckleberry Finnegans Wake

   Huckleberry Finnegans Wake is a combinatoric performance work bringing together Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake. With both texts based around river culture, contextual imbrications can be formed by folding one text into the other and through this combinatorial engines can be developed for the texts as well as implied visual and auditory material. Though both source texts are replete with exclusive language (regional dialects, neologisms, etc.) when brought together what emerges is a fantastical environment lacking specificity, but for the rivers (the Liffey and the Mississippi) that run through both. Imagine steamboats on River Liffey, the Pike County dialect being spoken in County Dublin, or Shem and Huck on the banks of the Mississippi.

7. Transient Self-Portrait

   Transient self–portrait is an artistic research project questioning notions of reading and the electronic medium while exploring the possibilities of coding to interact with the work. I take as the point of departure two pivotal sonnets in Spanish literature that are normally studied alongside each other, En tanto que de rosa y azucena by Garcilaso de La Vega, a 16th Century Spanish poet, using Italian Renaissance verse forms and Mientras por competir con tu cabello by Luís de Gongora, a 17th Century Spanish poet from the Baroque period. Gongora's sonnet is a homage to Garcilaso's and the styles and the cultural aspects that appear on the sonnets are very different reflecting the attitudes from the Renaissance and the Baroque. This project is a response to some of the concepts that emerge from these sonnets; ephemerality of life, consummation, transient entities, fragility, which are also relevant to our age and the electronic world we inhabit.
