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.

Intergrams
From the Eastgate Systems, Inc. advertisement:
"Intergrams introduces us to a new species in the word forest, an infinity of possibilities, an arena with structure that is still open, that behaves, that invites. Intergrams is the exact analog of the idea that the domain of music is anything which may be heard, or that the domain of the visual arts is anything which may be seen. Intergrams is not an injection or gift of someone else's wisdom, but connections that were there for you to make all along, entirely yours, connections that spring forward with the impetus of the energy of the work. In Intergrams, space replaces time as the fundamental dimension-set for text as opposed to speech. Complex links between parts of the written text separated widely in space are simply drawn directly. The method of directly, graphically linking the pieces of text by a relationship is used for the syntax itself."

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”

Die Aaleskorte der Ölig
"Die Aaleskorte der Ölig" is a combination adventure with 20 scenes by Dirk Günther and Frank Klötgen which won the Pegasus Award of DIE ZEIT, the german prize for internet literature, in 1998. It is based on a short story with only one perspective. Before the adventure starts, the reader has a chance to participate by choosing the perspective for each scene. The five protagonists are the woman Ölig, Hohmann, a group of children and an eel. Afterwards the so called "movie" starts. Every scene has a different picture and text to describe the plot which changes based on the decisions of the user in the beginning.

Memoirs from Hijiyama
This exquisitely designed site contains poetry in several modes: in lines of verse, as visual poetry, and as an e-poem that responds to the reader’s symbolic presence in the text: the pointer. The site is conceptualized “as a grave” made of [web] pages, words “flung to the far corners / of the earth” (quoted from the site manifesto). Each page consists of images and words arranged and offer the reader two ways of viewing the composition: discover (which keeps links hidden for reader to explore the surface of the image for them) and unearth (which provides a sepia tone for the background and reveals the links in the text, along with useful labels for them). Verbally it is also a collage of voices: from the victims to the pilot of the Enola Gay, who delivered the bomb in Hiroshima. This work is a powerful memorial to those lost in Hiroshima (and by extension Nagasaki). Simultaneously fascinating and horrifying, factual and ironic, the work reminds us of the very human side to the event and its aftermath.

Tide-Land
Originally published in BeeHive 3:4 (December 2000), this poem maps human experiences, narrative, weddings, funerals, and memory onto the ebb and flow of waters in tidelands— those coastal regions where rivers flow into the sea. The metaphorical relations between tidelands and individual and collective experience, past and present, knowledge and intuition are enacted in the use of hypertext and layers. This layering of text and image makes some lines and words difficult to read, breaking with the tradition of sequential arrangement of texts to draw attention towards new juxtapositions and the blending of human experiences. The poem also references estuaries, islands, and water during high, low, and neap tides— lunar and maritime cycles presented as a female analog to the more masculine solar solstices and equinoxes that have received such archetypal attention. This is a work worthy of rereading and reflection to allow its language and images to ebb and flow in and out of your conscious mind.
