1. American Ghosts

   This multimedia work contains monologues from present day “incarnations” of five American historical figures: Paul Revere, Betsy Ross, George Washington, Deborah Samson, and Thomas Paine. Each video shows a close up shot of a portion of the person’s body, accompanied by hip background music and a recording of a verbal performance, while beneath the video window, the words of the poem scroll from left to right in news-ticker fashion. The final piece (shown above) comes after experiencing all the texts and the visual mashup comes across as the voices join in a kind of mixed chorus. (Source: Leonardo Flores, I ♥ E-Poetry)

2. Going through the Signs

   This collaborative hypertext poem uses a “page space” designed by Zellen to create a sequence of pop-up windows that last 20 seconds before closing along with links that lead to new pop-up windows, simultaneously closing the previous one, and leading to a final page with three thin vertical frames. This produces a powerful sense of progression in which the reader must press on or have to start over while not providing any way to get back to an earlier page. Larsen uses this structure to build a trail of consciousness which includes the thoughts of a character seeking a path and sense of purpose in a world that seems to have the former, but not the latter.

3. Into the Green Green Mud

   A story of love, and after-love. Eternity is a fickle thing, and the moments just keep coming. Clouds shift, the sun moves past, and squirrels are collecting nuts, so where does that leave us?

   Into the Green Green Mud is an ode to change & impermanence, both in content and medium. Starting from a simple text “script” we are creating a number of inter-related “performances” in various media. This version includes text, images, code, and animation, with a soundtrack that you can download and listen to. Future versions might include a printed book, a live multimedia performance, sky writing, or anything else we decide to explore.

4. MyNovel.org

   MyNovel.org (2006) takes six classic novels (Moby Dick, Uncle Tom's Cabin, The Scarlet Letter, Lolita, 1984, and On The Road) and compresses them into four sentences apiece; at any point, if visitors wish to, they can write their own four sentence novel by using the tools included on the site.

5. Every Word I Saved

   Every Word I Saved is a software piece that continuously displays every word that the artist saved in various computers, from 2000 to 2006. The words were harvested from sent emails, text documents and instant messaging logs, which were put in a database and then arranged in alphabetical order. Each word preserves only its original capitalization; other than this, their original context is erased by the alphabetical organization. Source: artist's description on project website

6. Rush

   Rush er en hyperfortelling bestående av skrift, bilde og animasjon. Skriften beveger seg over skjermen i et rolig tempo. Ved visse intervaller må leseren ta et valg som får konsekvenser for det videre handlingsforløpet. Samtidig er hyperteksten og de ulike veivalgene som leseren må ta, visualisert for leseren gjennom et kart. Hyperfortellingen viser fram det alvorlige og forpliktende ved de valgene leseren må ta. Og som leseren vil forstå, er det aldri noen ”second chance”

7. Search Lutz!

   More than 50 years ago a calculator generated a literary text for the first time ever. This happened in Stuttgart, Germany. In 1959 Theo Lutz wrote a programme for Zuse Z22 to create stochastic texts. Following Max Bense’s (Stuttgardian philosopher) advice, he took sixteen nouns and adjectives out of Kafka’s "Schloss," which the calculator then formed into sentences, following certain patterns. Thus, every sentence began with either "ein" or "jeder" ("one" or "each") or the corresponding negative form "kein" or "nicht jeder" ("no" or "not everybody"). Then the noun, selected arbitrarily from the pool of sixteen given nouns, was linked through the verb "ist" ("is") with the likewise arbitrarily chosen adjective. Last, the whole construction was linked up through "und," "oder," "so gilt" ("and," "either," "thus") or given a full stop.

9. The Way North

   "The Way North" is a Digital Literary Art project that works its way through history, myths and motifs with regards to Inuit folkways and the disasters of global climate change.

   Artist Statement
   Edited from an interview with Edward Pirot on "The Way North" . . .

   The challenge of this project, as with several others, was to take an important, if not crucial, subject (in this case, the warming of the Arctic and the destruction of a way of life as symbolic of what's happening, and will happen, globally) and make a piece of Digital Literary Art that would be informative while advancing the medium's aesthetic possibilities

   I always do research for a several months before beginning to write and design a project, so that by the time I began I already had a fairly large notebook from which to draw. But the research continued throughout the one and a half years, and, as usual, lead me in unexpected directions.

10. Jargon Reducer

    "Jargon Reducer" is a software art project which manipulates text.

    Artist Statement
    "Jargon Reducer" is a software art project which manipulates text. It removes or reveals words which might be considered "jargon," specialized language that is not a part of the common vocabulary. The project comes with twelve significant texts ready for filtering demonstration and analysis; and invites the user to input text for jargon filtering.

    With "Jargon Reducer" I am interested in the analysis of language; the systems which require us to be mindful of how we use language; what happens to our thinking when we become aware of how others use language and for what purposes; subverting these system; and ultimately having a laugh.
