1. Oisleánd: Indra's Net IX

   Oisleánd is a hypertext work using mesostic techniques to combine two translations of one text. The "performance text" is generated by taking each letter in either the Irish poem "Oileán" or its English interpretation "Island", and substituting it with a full word from the other version (containing that letter). Thus, a new poem - either "English in Irish" or "Irish in English" is built, to use the author's words.

2. Pressing the Reveal Code Key: Indra's Net VIII

   This work uses the same basic structure as the author's earlier "Book Unbound".  

   "Reveal Code" takes a hidden text corpus and creates a "generative performance" based on a collocation algorithm.  The audience can then choose phrases from the generative performance and set them aside on pages labeled Thesis, Antithesis, and Synthesis, where they can be edited freely.  Selections will also become part of the hidden corpus; the text will, over time, evolve to the audience's taste.

   More information can be found in the author's article "Pressing the 'Reveal Code' Key", EJournal, March 1996: http://www.ucalgary.ca/ejournal/archive/ej-6-1.txt

   Similarly, "Potentialities of Literary Cybertext" (April 1996, Visible Language) also explores this hypertext more deeply.
