1. Training Missions

   "Training missions" employs a tabular-format, three-part poem as a gateway to discussion-demonstration of three online activities, so defined: imagining, imaging, and logging. Through the use of relatively simple graphics and a few carefully chosen links, the piece lampoons the functional overkill that often under- (and over-!) writes the wholesale use of imagining and imaging technologies. The final section, "logging," begins by foregrounding many of the semantic and syntactic disparities latent in our word processing age---an age in which grammatical niceties are often taken for granted---and concludes by exploring the more seductive implications of media (televisual and Hollywood) culture via a Flash sequence of loglines (with voiceover).

   One aim of the work is to draw reader attention back to the title poem, with the hope that readers might spend more time with initial conditions (i.e., the tabular poem that serves as gateway to the piece) in order to think through the conceptual and often conflicting aspects of media work.

2. E:Electron

   E:Electron is an extended structural analogy, using the periodic table of elements to muse on the life of a love affair and states of mind. Three pieces work together to create nuances of connections and relations. A poem hidden in the periodic table of elements leads to the stages of a relationship. Each element adds a new electron or word association, cumulating in a lifetime of memory. These connect to an intricate series of poems that fill each electron shell with musing.

3. Hey Now

   Hey Now is a collaborative experiment in New Media Poetry. It is minimally "interactive", requiring the reader/viewer to click on the pacing man whenever he appears. The piece began as an idea: following the artist Christo's work ("wrapped" objects like Running Fence, Wrapped Pont Neuf, etc.) -- what would wrapped language look be like? How would it look or sound? Our initial discussions revolved around thinking through the act of wrapping, covering or hiding language; the physical and metaphorical transformation of language while it is wrapped; the final act of unveiling language that has now acquired "full" or "new" meaning because it has been partially hidden.

4. Moment

   This is a generative poem you can visit for years and continue to find things to surprise and delight. It is structured around a text— aptly named as “a strand” (as in a fiber or rope made of letters or characters)— which is shaped by “aspects,” which are programmed structures that shape and transform the strands through color, animation, scheduling, formatting, and other transformations possible in DHTML. Considering there are 10 “strands” (plus a “user-fed strand”) each of which can be shaped by 36 different “aspects,” each of which can have multiple controls and toggles, you don’t have to do the math to realize that this is a work of staggering generative possibilities. Combined with a few randomization and combinatorial touches, this is a work that will always welcome you with fresh moments, inviting you to play with its structures.

5. Amoklæsning

   Syv deltagere med vidt forskellig faglig baggrund har fået chancen for at gå amok i Simon Grotrians seneste digtsamling, Risperdalsonetterne. De har hver især valgt en sonet at tage udgangspunkt i: undre sig over, give sig hen til, fare vild i, associere ud fra, fortolke, aktualisere, irriteres eller begejstres over. Videoer, udskrifter, citater, billeder og stills supplerer hinanden i en mosaik, hvor de syv stemmer kommenterer digtene og rækker ud efter andre værker og fortolkninger. Den grafiske præsentation bringer de enkelte stemmer i dialog. Sitets læser kan vælge sin egen rute gennem vildnisset: der er mulighed for at bevæge sig gennem hver enkelt læsning i den rækkefølge, den er blevet til i, eller man kan forfølge temaer og associationer og springe på kryds og tværs i tekstdiagrammet.

7. Falling Angels

   We know that angels start to fall from the heavens once they realize it is not heaven any more. The first person poetry shooter by the active participant of the pioneering cyberature community alludes to many resentments of the 90s and are also fun to shoot. (ELO 2015 catalog)
