1. "Uncle Roger", an Online Narrabase

   Uncle Roger is a "narrabase" or narrative database. It was first told as an online serial on Art Com Electronic Network (ACEN) and then was published as an interactive online database on ACEN. It is also available as computer software for both Apple II and IBM-compatible computers. The narrabase form uses a computer database to build up levels of meaning. The artist explains how this form evolved from her visual books and her information databases. She discusses the story and structure of Uncle Roger and describes how the story was told and published in an online community. In the conclusion she discusses the future of computer literature.

3. Card Catalogs and Electronic Books

   The Card Catalogs (1976-1981; first exhibited in 1978) are collections of text and images on 3x5 cards.  Each catalog is a tray of cards containing 50-200 cards structured  by dividers that key the cards using small pictures or word phrases.  Although they can be read sequentially, they were meant to be non-sequential works that combine words and pictures so that neither are the words descriptions of the pictures nor are the pictures illustrations of the words. For example, the Woodpile  consists of 165  nodes of photos drawings or text, keyed by small photos and drawings.  Each node stands by itself but also functions as a molecular unit that, when combined with  other cards, builds up a story. As opposed to a linear book where the reader focuses on the front cover and normally proceeds linearly from there, the reader approaching a card catalog like The Woodpile sees the top of the entire work and is encouraged to begin at any place.
