  1. Chemical Landscapes Digital Tales

    Chemical Landscapes is a series of photograms by Mary Pinto. The photos suggest landscapes but are created entirely in the dark room, using only chemicals and a flashlight. For this project, I've written a series of "digital tales" suggested by the particular chemical landscape. I hope the relationship of language and narrative to the "tale" parallels the relationship of light and chemicals to the "landscape." The piece begins with a title page that serves as a navigation page. By clicking at various places on the page you're taken to one of the eight chemical landscapes. Once you arrive at a landscape, the digital tale fades in and then out, and you may click on the screen at any point to jump back to the navigation page. I have tried to time the fading in and out of the text so that it is almost impossible to read it all before it fades away. My hope is that the reader will recognize the necessity of jumping around in the text, picking up pieces of the tale to read and ignoring other pieces, thereby creating a different experience with each reading.

  2. Frequently Asked Questions about "Hypertext"

    Frequently Asked Questions about "Hypertext" is a short fiction, in the form of a FAQ document, that revolves around various interpretations of a 69-word poem called "Hypertext." The poem "Hypertext," nominally by "Alan Richardson," is composed from all the hidden words/anagrams contained within the nine-letter word "hypertext." The tongue-in-cheek interpretations of the fictional poem include the perspectives of language poetry, cultural studies, feminism, and transgender studies. Emerging through the interpretations and FAQ answers, however, are the interwoven "real-life" stories of the troubled author and his/her troubled critics. The poem's notoriety creates a fan fiction phenomenon centered around an online database, which, along with its creator(s), comes under attack. As in Nabokov's Pale Fire, pseudo-literary criticism gives way to a mystery story about the real author of the text, transformation and transsexuality, love and murder.

  3. Forest

    Pandemonia was a project that sprawled over four years in its making during a period of my life when I was focused on writing hyperfiction. It metamorphosed many times, and with each emergence spawned more complexity.

    Pandemonia Is

    • A persistent narrative system which tracks the reader as they interact with the content.
    • A content management system enabling writers with little technical background to write hypertext fiction.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  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. eye in the making

    Eye in the Making consists of 3 clusters of texts.  The user interacts with image and text, expand the texts to develop readings.

    The user creates contexts and variations in readings depending on how much or little the texts are expanded, from where they are expanded, and the order in which the reader opens up the text.  This is furthered by a tension between the spatial arrangements and chronological expansion of the texts, along with the sounds accompanying the user's interaction with the text.

    Start by clicking on the moving image, and follow the texts, clicking certain words to produce more.  Click on the moving image once more to move on to the next section.

  8. 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.

  9. En anarkist er død

    This piece commemorates the Norweigan anarchist Harald Beyer-Arnesen, who died in 2005 at the age of 52. The piece begins by showing an newspaper opened to his obituary, and then displays a screen version of the newspaper obituary with certain words and phrases linked. When the reader clicks on a link, material is shown - sometimes articles explaining communism and anarchism, other times the voice of a friend talking about Beyer-Arnesen, a scrollable photo of some of his books or movie sequences from his childhood.
