101, Performance with a Mediapoetry Beads
101 performance is a collective reading of a human performer with a mediapoetic instrument. 101 is a mediapoetry instrument that counts the sonic beads of the 99 names of Allah. It is based on the use of built in camera as a movement sensor (Isadora), databases of musical sounds and text (Abelton Live). The sound is triggered with the movement of hand. The work reflects on the possibilities of relationships with the other: be it a parent, a colleague, a teacher, a spouse, or a god. The names avoid nomination, rather mark a universal catalogue of qualities of an other: superior, generous, only one, but at the same time torturer, killing, humiliator, reducer. In Islamic world these 99 names are used as a prayer. In the piece a pronoun “my” replaces the traditional definite article and male gender. This can bee seen as an act of both personalisation and desacralisation: the reducer – my reducer, the extender – my extender. The “my” is also a l’hommage to the Charles Bernsein poem My/My/My that was remediated by Nick Montfort and Anna Tolkacheva. Performer reads the list of names in choir with the machine.

Image fantôme
Working with Nicolas Sordello, Lucile Haute posted square images to Facebook with the date, and then deleted it. The image would still exist for some time, accessible trough a direct link to the Facebook server. After this time, only text remained (comments and image text). This started Haute and Sordello's digital ghost hunt. The project started April 17th 2010 and ended September 14th 2011. Users may still access it through the project's website.
This performance was done in French.

A Brief History of Loss
A Brief History of Loss is a heavily mediated performative lecture that is not only an extension of deep repetition and radical sameness, but a form of (non)reading put at odds with itself. How might these differences of reading information and meaning not be reduced, but contradicted? How might a text engage the form of the page and document as a space that provides platforms for close readings as well as keeping those readings at a distance, not something to read insofar as something to be looked at and thought about. Best situated within the “Translation” strand, ABHoL aims to expose and conflate mediatic and literary reading/writing practices with an unstoppable real time. The performance itself is a translation and shifting between codes, both textual and computational. Framed as an investigation into personal mediatic histories, ABHoL aims to conflate and contradict photographic images, as objects framed to be narrated, with corresponding narration that calls on the document as a performative object and artifact.

Material Studies
Material Studies is a series of videos that engage the viewer in a synesthetic experience. The work is a poignant act of resistance against the meat industry. It proposes vegan and feminist perspectives of our embodiment of reality. Witty poetry meets “networked vegan edible language sculptures,” says Claire Donato. The studies are based on a work-in-progress titled “Gravity and Grace, The Chicken and the Egg, or: How to Cook Everything Vegetarian.”
