A Pen
“A Pen” is an exploration of text as a tool for writing, rather than as the result of writing. It is about the interpenetration of code and language in programmable media to imbue letters and words with behaviors, allowing the poem to emerge from their play. It is about creating tools for the readers to become involved in the process of shaping the poems that arise from these processes. Last but not least, it is a further development in Jim Andrews’ lifelong exploration of the visual characteristics of written language, and the capabilities of computers to both render it and reinvent statuesque letters as dancing signifiers that respond to input from the reader.

Killing Lena
"Killing Lena" is a rendered video series in which Lena Sjööblom's famous face is repeatedly exposed to the compression algorithms she unwittingly helped to develop. The videos presented are compression pornography, the suggestion of a "compressivist art", and a poetic digital demise. The installed version of this piece shows the effect of different recursively applied compression algorithms on the original image, simultaneously on separate screens.

Skindoscope
Web-art work that focus on the poetics of alterity – the game of identity and alterity. Based on interactors’ data (skin color, name, city, country, gender, height and weight) the work creates different visual kaleidoscopes intending to cause reflection about people’s differences and similarities.

The artist also produced a version of the work for Second Life, where the kaleidoscope is formed by the leaves of a tree. Each avatar who interacts creates a leaf with his/her skin color and each 10 leaves created causes the tree to produce a coin of L$ 1,00, which can be taken by any avatar who touches it.

nam shub web
nam shub web is a website processor. it takes the textual content of external websites and applies user defined rules to generate visual poetry out of it. these rules consist of operations that change the text or modify the visual appearance.
each set of rules can be stored and published for others to view and alter. however nam shub web does not store any actual content. it only records commands of how to alter the external website content. in case of a dynamic website as the source the visual and textual results change with the dynamic content.
according to Neal Stephenson's novel Snow Crash, the ancient sumerian nam shub of Enki was a neurolinguistic hack aimed against the standardarization and unification of society and human life through verbal rules and laws. therefore nam shub web can be seen as a computerlinguistic hack targeted against a global unified culture and empire.

I.M.PROMPT.U
These “12 meditations on propaganda art and Russian communism” make amazingly compressed commentaries on the works it has chosen, particularly in the context of its production constraint of 17 minutes per piece. As an impromptu response from an artist and poet using Flash as a tool, this piece highlights the temporality and visual agility of the dancing signifier. The letters, words, and symbols superposed on the propaganda art feel spontaneous and full of life, questioning, mocking, obscuring, admiring, and engaging the material it dances before. These traces are lenses through which we experience Communist propaganda art, gesturing towards Thuan’s own ideology. At the same time, the contrast between the artistic media and expressive strategies enhances the experience of both, resulting in a work that is more than the sum of its parts.
