  1. Umbrales

    The hypertexts of this project were written by interns from the psychiatric building Emil Kraepelin. These real stories are distributed in four sections: past, future, darkness and light. The genre is hypertext fiction, it is made of hypertextual confessional fragments like Caitlin Fisher's These Waves of Girls (2001) with interactive elements like Belen Gache’s Wordtoys (2006). In the section named “darkness” the mouse is used as a lantern which lights up only parts of the text, a technique also used in Speeches and Poemas (2006) by Félix Rémirez. Yolanda de la Torre organized a literary workshop in which she explored with the patients the therapeutic possibilities of writing. References to God are common in the patients’ confessional texts, a sign of the importance of religion for many Mexican people. The technique of changing the text allows the reader to make up different stories, drawing makes the reader a participant of the story who can draw his/her own future like another patient or character and the audio effects recreate the sounds of a psychiatric hospital making the reader feel as he/she was in the place the patients were.

  3. samen dichten

    samen dichten is een poëziemachine waarbij mens en computer elkaar kunnen versterken. zo ontstaat er een gedicht dat de gebruiker niet zonder computer en de computer niet zonder deze specifieke gebruiker had kunnen schrijven.
    het idee achter dit project is om poëzie toegankelijk te maken voor een breder publiek. de poëziemachine laat mens en machine samenwerken, maar belangrijker: iedereen kan zo de kracht van taal ontdekken.

  4. 1_100

    A interface do poema digital recorre à cor azul do tema standard da última distribuição do sistema operativo Windows 10 (foi usada ferramenta de color picker), procurando construir um caminho poético para a profanação e détournement. Este artefacto poético digital lida com a expectativa do utilizador, por meio da latência, desespero e frustração. Os utilizadores esperam que o poema carregue e, no fim, tudo o que lhes é devolvido é uma mensagem de erro que os informa de que é necessário fazer refresh à página, reiniciando todo o processo de carregamento do poema. Toda a gente sabe que não há nada mais frustrante do que a latência de uma barra de carregamento numa época sem tempo (sendo que nos encontramos constantemente com pressa, partilhando dum sentimento de urgência que nos é imposto). Ainda para mais se o processo de carregamento nunca acaba de todo, reivindicando um loop eterno que insiste numa iterativa formatação da memória. É o tempo na era digital um diferente tipo de tempo?

  6. News Wheel

    News Wheel, 2016 is an iOS app that explores the poetics of ever changing news headlines. It begins as a static disk divided into nine sections each representing a different news source. Tapping anywhere on the screen causes the wheel to spin. Another tap stops the wheel and suddenly a headline in one of nine pre-selected colors appears on the screen. This playful interface invites users to start and stop the wheel eventually filling the screen with a collage of current headlines. Individual words can be deleted and repositioned so users can create their own poems from this content. In addition, dragging one's finger across the screen creates an animated chain of fragmented and poetic text derived from today's headline news. News Wheel is a creative and poetic way to view, juxtapose and interpret world events. (Source: http://www.jodyzellen.com/newswheeltalk/)

  7. All The Delicate Duplicates

    John, a single father and computer engineer, inherits a collection of arcane objects from Mo, his mysterious Aunt. Over time, the engineer and his daughter Charlotte begin to realise that the objects have unusual physical properties – and that the more they are exposed to them, the more their realities and memories appear to change.

    “All the Delicate Duplicates traverses time and alt-realities via a layered character driven narrative world.” – Dr Andrew Burrell

    "I could lose myself in this for hours. This feels so new, unlike anything I’ve ever seen." – Beta Tester at the 2016 Game City Festival.

    “Played one of the most cerebral walking sims I've experienced yet.” – Michael Nam

  8. Loss Sets

    Artist’s Statement:
    “Loss Sets” translates poems co-written by Jordan Scott and Aaron Tucker into sculptures printed by 3D printers.
    If language is the material from which poetry is built, what becomes of poetry when it sheds language for pure form? What, if anything, is reconciled?
    What is reimagined? What is lost? Within this nexus of translation and sculptural poetics, the project thus aims to respond to the multiples of contemporary loss (physical, environmental, artistic, personal).
    The poetic form allows Scott and Tucker to explore the dirge, lament and elegy as means to grapple with loss and, ultimately, the failure of language to adequately represent trauma.
    The poems, written in collaboration, therefore bring two consciousnesses to the task of what can only be the failed task of reclamation.
    It is hoped that when joined with the algorithm and, finally, the 3D object itself, Scott and Tucker’s poetics of loss will take on a ‘translated’ physical form to be handled, manipulated, stolen or destroyed.

  9. MATTERS, Electromagnetic poems

    When materials that support texts change, the content have to change. Matters is a physical reflection on how the materiality could affect the text. From ceramic tiles to displays, each new supporting material has opened new possibilities for writing. The support does more than sustain the text, it limits and potentiates it at the same time. The rules of the text are established thanks to these materials, which are implemented as a medium for the text. The physical, the chemical, the sociology, and the politics of these mediums definitively influence the literary use of the ideas. The change in supporting materials allow us to tap into new possibilities that poetry has the pleasure of exploring and amplifying. Similarly, the poetic endeavour is obligated to question the physical, chemical, social, and political limitations of either medium as a support for the text. The expressive reflection allows the revision of rules established by the use of either format and, perhaps, generates new uses of a medium; or in an extreme case, generates a new medium for the diffusion of the text.

  10. Steve Tomasula’s Brilliant Literary Time Machine

    From the introduction: We live in a time when the physical object of the book, marked, as it is, by the process of its making (transubstantiation of natural materials) and use (coffee stains, notes scribbled in a margin, bent pages) is giving way to an apparently immaterial, a-historical, eternally renewable electronic version. Many bemoan the loss, but few seem to comprehend that this is merely an indicator of a far more radical alteration in our perception of time and space.
    Steve Tomasula’s multimedia novel TOC (design by Stephen Farrell, programming by Christian Jara ), newly re-released as an iPad app, utilizes the same technology that has fostered this shift to create a compelling, thought-provoking work about the nature of time.
