1. Ambulance: An Electronic Novel

   Very little information about this work is available online. P. Sugarman writes that "Ambulance is about some Gen-Xers who run into a string of spectacularly bad luck involving a car accident and a serial killer disguised as an ambulance driver. One of the most effective elements here is the music sampling. The droning repetition of the musical phrases, over & over while you absorb slices of the story, gives the whole experience an obsessive, claustrophobic feeling."

2. Trujillo poeem

   'Trujillo' spreekt voor zich en is pas geslaagd wanneer het spontaan tot meerdere lezingen/ herhaaldelijk bekijken aanzet! Het stelt tevens de romantische kunstenaarsopvatting aan de orde (met de roos als leidmotief): een beetje kunstenaar moet groots kunnen afzien. Anders gezegd een beetje schrikbewind legt de kunst geen windeieren: doe er vooral uw maal mee!

3. Repetition and Recombination: Reading Network Fiction

   Repetition and Recombination: Reading Network Fiction is the first full-length study devoted to network fiction. Network fictions are narrative texts in digitallynetworked environments that make use of hypertext technology in order to create emergent and recombinatory narratives (unlike interactive, or "arborescent," fictions that employ mutually exclusive plotlines). They represent a coalescence of works that predate and postdate the World Wide Web but share an aesthetic drive that exploits the networking potential of digital composition and foregrounds a distinctive quality of narrative recurrence and return. The thesis consists of (1) a critical and theoretical component that returns to printbased narratology in light of digital literature; (2) analyses of network fictions from the first-wave of digital literature published as stand-alone software applications; and (3) analyses of second-wave network fictions published on the World Wide Web. The analyses each focus on the interplay of the material, formal, and semantic elements of network narrative, an jnterplay that is framed by the dynamics of repetition.

4. Writing Organism: CAPTCHA as a paradigm of *literary* digital textuality

   I start from CAPTCHA, those distorted strings of letters set against colors and designs, which we all recognize and rewrite to gain access to web sites. CAPTCHA operate in a complex intersection between commercial and scientific institutions, on the one hand, and concepts of mind and being, on the other. The Turing test is the background supposition of CAPTCHA's claim that recognition and rewriting is the iterative presentation and production of a singular human self. It is iterative and weak, in that it must be repeated and rewritten, and in that it is open to failure and misrecognition. It is singular and productive in that each test ties to an event that can be leveraged commercially - as in the reCAPTCHA project or (I argue) in related "distributed work" programs such as the Amazon Mechanical Turk - and in that the "weak performativity" couples the test to a range of net activities on the part of a speaking subject. (I contrast this to the traditional linguistic "shifters," and instead approach the subject in terms of a Kleinian "psychoanalytic graphology.")

5. Triolets

   Les Triolets est un programme combinatoire alamien publié en 1985 par Paul Braffort qui est basé sur le triolet ; un poème avec une forme fixe depuis le Moyen Age en deux strophes avec le rime a b a a a b a b. La forme fixe se trouve dans la répétition des vers 1 et 2 aux vers 4, 7, et 8 respectivement. L’Alamo utilise la substitution des vers de 6 triolets « compatibles » originaux par Braffort qui sont combinés aléatoirement avec une contrainte stylistique pour créer 7. 776 triolets différents. La fonction de ce programme est exponentiel avec les 6 triolets originaux (6^5) et les tirages possibles selon la contrainte stylistique. Cette caractéristique rend ce programme alamien similaire à Cent Mille Milliard de Poemes par Raymond Queneau, mais avec moins de poèmes à cause de la structure à suivre.

6. Jakob og Neikob

   Ein rålekker, kvit Ipad 2 låg inne i bursdagspapiret på 38-årsdagen min for litt sidan. Først fleire dagar seinare fekk eg prøve han sjølv, då hadde ungane lasta ned alt frå Fifa 12 til Angry Birds. No er det derimot ein annan applikasjon dei opnar aller oftast: Den nye barnebok-appen Jakob og Nekob er ikkje berre den mest brukte heime hjå oss, han låg òg på toppen av salslistene i haust Jakob seier JA! til alt og Neikob seier NEI! til alt. Slikt vert det trøbbel og krokodillemat av. På lesebrettet kan borna aktivere mange artige effektar. Jakob og Neikob seier orda sine, krokodiller brøler, lampene skrur seg på og av og bilen brummar bortover vegen. Innlesinga skrur du på og av som du vil. Eit lite spel er også med. Samlaget har lykkast særs godt i ta med seg Kari Stai sin genistrek over til dette nye mediet. (source: http://www.nynorskbok.no/2011/12/28/kari-stai-jakob-og-neikob-app/)

7. Talk with Your Hands Like an Ellis Island Mutt: A Recombinatory Cinema Toolkit

   Talk with Your Hands Like an Ellis Island Mutt is a recombinatory cinema project that utilizes video material from my digital lyric memoir DADDYLABYRINTH, which appeared in the ELO 2014 exhibition and later premiered at the ArtScience Museum of Singapore, to create an interactive, polylinear narrative cinema experience. From the video “selfies” of DADDYLABYRINTH I have culled individual hand gestures and, through image manipulation and repetition, created sixty-four separate videos eight to twelve seconds long that can be recombined using a variety of strategies, from the performative to the algorithmic. A three-minute video describing the project is at https://vimeo.com/113867362. The sixty-four building blocks that make up Hand/Mutt are compiled at https://vimeo.com/113860613 and the original source videos can be found at www.daddylabyrinth.com.

8. Dear

   Voor mij waren het in dit gedicht de herhaling van de weinige, steeds weer dezelfde woorden waaruit het gedicht bestaat, die mij opvielen, en waar ik iets mee wilde doen. Omdat het gedicht waar ik voor gekozen heb uit slechts 13 woorden bestaat, gekozen uit een bestaande tekst, heb ik ervoor gekozen de gebruiker de mogelijkheid te geven deze woorden in een willekeurige volgorde te genereren, zodat er op deze manier een nieuw, steeds weer uniek gedicht ontstaat.

9. Let’s Play: Ancient Greek Punishment: CPU Edition!

   Let’s Play is part of an ongoing series of games based on ancient Greek figures
   and their punishments. Sisyphus, Prometheus, Tantalus, Danaids and Zeno, the
   philosopher known for his paradoxes, are represented by the CPU player, the
   computer’s Central Processing Unit. In this CPU edition, the computer does it all
   by itself, both simulating and playing the game, cutting out the player entirely.
   Every time the reload button is activated, the game starts afresh. It may seem
   like watching an animated GIF or a video file, but it’s the computer playing,
   pushing a rock or having its liver eaten. Again and again. Let’s Play presents a
   world closed in on itself, behaving according to its own logic, its own code. A
   world stuck in a frustrating loop.

10. Repetition and Defamiliarization in AI Dungeon and Project December

    Recent advances in machine learning provide new opportunities for the exploration of creative, interactive works based around generative text. This paper compares two such works, AI Dungeon (Walton 2019) and Project December (Rohrer 2020), both of which are built on the same artificial intelligence (AI) platform, OpenAI’s GPT-2 and GPT-3. In AI Dungeon, the player can choose from several predetermined worlds, each of which provide a starting point for the story generation. However, while interacting with the system within this world, the player can stop, edit, modify and retry each utterance, allowing the player to “sculpt” the AI’s responses, and choose what goes into the AI’s memory, helping to shape the overall direction of the story. At a broader level, the player can edit world descriptions, insert scripts between the AI and the player (themselves or others), and share these worlds/scenarios with other players.
