1. Vocaleyes

   Interactive piece that enables the user to create drawings and sounds compositions. The audio background is created by the phonetics sounds of multiple languages such as English, Mandarin and Arabic in the form of musical notes. It is a piece that was produced with the idea of linking it to the Eyemouse produced by John Tchalenko, Research Fellow at Camberwell College of Arts. In his research he is looking at cognitive ways for learning to draw, while I am interested in communicative processes using text-sound and image. For this piece and taking into consideration Tchalenko's idea of learning to draw with your eyes. I used 'meaningless' phonetic sounds as the basic elements used in speech to learn to speak, conceiving in this way both parts of the brain: the linguistic and the visual.

2. Start at the End: a Hypertext Fiction

   This CD-based hypertext fiction is described as a tragedy, using words, music and images to "evoke three virtual spaces: the psychic space of memory, the public space of an internet mailing list (called Undertow) and the private space of a mail exchange between two people that are spearated by an ocean, a gender and a language." (from the blurb on the back of the CD).

   It is only available on CD-ROM and unfortunately the CD-ROM this ELMCIP contributor can access is faulty and most files will not show.

3. David Still :)

   This website invites its readers to take the identity of David Still, a possibly fictional character whose life is presented on the website. The reader is addressed as though he or she is David Still: "You live in a neighbourhood called The Reality (De Realiteit). No, really, you do! It may seem unusual, but all of the following is true, and you love it!" In addition to photos from David Still's childhood, readers can explore stories of his childhood memories presented as simply hypertext narratives, with just a few links. 

   The project doesn't simply ask readers to imagine being David Still, it invites us to send out emails using his email account, either using one of the provided scripts, or writing one from scratch. The website also allows readers to browse emails confused recipients of these emails have sent in reply to "David Still".

4. Thoughts Go

   This is poem is Knoebel's most powerful use of simultaneity because he layers two stanzas of poetry in a perfectly synchronized fashion. One stanza is an abstract meditation on the presence, absence, and storage of thoughts while the other is pure imagery and embodied experience. The two are connected by being displayed and spoken through time, initially scrambling your thought process as it tries to follow two threads of text.

   After your first reading of this short poem, I suggest you turn off the sound and read the visual text and then turn the sound back on and simply listen to the other stanza. Then experience them simultaneously again to see how meaningful the layering is, how the scheduling of the text leads you to re-imagine some of the sounds, and how the central metaphor brings the whole poem together.

5. Home

   Home explores the meaning of home, the secrets revealed there, and our emotional relationship to both the place and the intimacies contained therein. A house is for sale; it has been abandoned. Yet it reverberates with the memories of those who lived there and whose most private moments still inhabit the half empty spaces. The user overhears snippets of emotionally charged family conversations, moves down dark corridors and enters into surprising rooms. You eavesdrop, learn secrets, watch. From these fragments the story of this specific home is pieced together, as well as the meaning of home itself.

7. Blinding Lights

   This multimedia poem is about how saturated we have become with media coverage and how damaging that is. De Barros’ approach in this work is to also saturate us with sound, images, formatting, and color to make us realize the excessive amount of information we are constantly receiving. Each of the four parts of the poem uses multiple layers of color, still and moving images and text, looping and single-playing sounds, and responsive elements. Moving the pointer over the image of a man in the first part of the poem, for example, triggers a sequence of images that show how overloaded he is with visual information, to the extent that he needs to blindfold himself or avert his eyes. The narrative in the second part, and the images and words in the third and fourth parts all portray pain, damage, scarring, even murder, to demonstrate how damaged we have all become.

8. Dear e.e.

   This whimsical poem invokes one of the masters of idiosyncratic poetry, E. E. Cummings. Cummings used capitalization, spacing, punctuation, letters, and words in very unconventional ways to craft off-the-beaten-path poetic experiences. The speaker’s dream taps into this idea, by having e.e. rearrange the furniture in counter-intuitive ways. A simple interface for navigation from side to side presents different items of furniture, which reveal texts and brief animations towards new images when the reader places the pointer over them. Perhaps this is a metaphor for Cummings’ poetics, who rearranged letters and words to lead to new perceptions of ordinary things.

9. haikU

   Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. Each poem contains 17 syllables which are distributed over three lines: 5 7 5. Haiku traditionally reference a season and are generally observations of everyday life.

   haikU calls on three databases of potential haiku lines to randomly create a poem for any given moment in time. The challenge of writing successful random haiku, is that each line must be 'open' enough to create a connection with any two other random haiku lines. Successful random haiku develop an image in the reader's mind that gives cause for contemplation/reflection/awareness.

   haikU invites you, the net audience, to collaborate by writing individual lines of haiku and submitting them to the haiku database. Your contributions become available to haikU via the computer's random function.

10. <Content=No Cache>

    Content=No Cache is about the loss inscription. It talks about error messages. Its point of departure is a curious tag “content = no cache”. Placed in the html code it updates the contents of any on line page, erasing what was written before. It announces a new condition of writing. From now on it does not inscribe anymore. It just describes. Like Error Messages. Content=No Cache, deals with the letter new dimension and inquires the paradoxes of on line writing, through a collaborative of error messages submitted by its users. (source: author)
