1. Big Swing

   Big Swing is a semi-non-linear, online narrative that mixes text, photography, sound design, video and interactivity. The story is designed to be explored rather than read. Delivered in semi-non-linear modules, the piece attempts to introduce and resolve tension in the manner of a traditional narrative, while still providing the user some degree of choice and control.

2. Sphiros

   Sphiros presents the fictional tale of what happens when a timequake creates a world that really is open source. It is staged in a modified version of the WithinSpace interface (created by net artist Jason Nelson) for the Adobe Flash platform.

   This is an exercise in arrangement -- most of its elements are ripped and remixed from a variety of sources both print and web; some are original.

   Each layer of Sphiros can be populated by any content -- text, image, video, sound, Flash animation, webpage, etc. These layers are then stacked on top of each other. A combination of scaling and transparency allows the user to move through the piece.

   Initially, Sphiros was presented in a web-distributed, mouse-driven format. For the installation at AI.ELO, the piece makes use of low-cost headtracking techniques. Users don a pair of infrared LED glasses and stand in front of a screen where a Nintendo WiiMote acts as an infrared camera. A combination of open-source and custom software translates the position of a user in realspace into a position inside of Sphiros.

   This version of Sphiros is set to 'Se Izst' by Icelandic wunderband, Sigur Rós.

3. The 24-Hr. Micro-Elit Project

   The 24-Hr. Micro-Elit Project experiments with microfiction, or flash fiction, a genre of literature that generally entails narratives of only 300-1000 words. Inspired by Richard Brautigan’s pithy “The Scarlatti Tilt”, a story of only 34 words published in 1971, my work involves 24 stories of 140 characters or less about life in an American city in the 21st C. delivered––or “tweeted”––on Twitter over a 24 hr. period.

   The launch date was Friday, August 21, beginning 12 a.m. PST. Each hour until 11 p.m., I posted a story, and followers of my twitter site were encouraged to tweet their own. After followers tweeted their stories, I cut and pasted them to the Project Blog. An archive of all of the stories can be found there.

4. Radiant Copenhagen

   "Klokken fem samme morgen havde en organisation ved navn Radiant Copenhagen udsendt en pressemeddelelse, hvori de udgav sig for at være en nystartet underafdeling af selvsamme Wonderful Copenhagen og bekendtgjorde, at en replika i overstørrelse af den tidligst kendte udgave af arten homo sapiens, Jing Chang-kraniet fra Kina, skulle vikariere for havfruen, mens hun var nede hos kineserne. »En fantastisk idé, som måske kunne skabe lidt røre i andedammen,« som en talsmand fra Radiant Copenhagen formulerede det. Er det billedkunst? Litteratur? Performance? Det er gudskelov det hele på en gang og med garanti noget fjerde. At ville skelne er fuldstændig at overse hybridens potentiale. Men allerede som elektronisk kunst og litteratur repræsenterer det, takket være sit kæmpe omfang og sin gennemarbejdede form, et meget ambitiøst forsøg i dansk sammenhæng. " -Sitert fra Christian Yde Frostholms rapport on Radiant Copenhagen: http://cyf.dk/klumme/etvirkeligtparal.html Medvirkende: Maja Zander, Kaspar Bonnen, Stig W Jørgensen, Palle R.

5. The Big Plot

   This is a romantic-spy story rendered into the genre of Recombinant Fiction. Four characters told a fiction using dialogues shown on several media channels. The cloned identity of a real spy was used to portray a story about the political and sentimental weakness of our era characterised by a dysfunctional sociality being created by social media communications. Actions in public environments completed the set of stages upon which the story was acted and audiences had an active role by unfolding and creating other pieces of fiction. The drama deconstructed language and symbolism of ideologies by remixing characters' lives and identities with real-world patterns. The work has been exhibited as an installation and there is also a web version.

6. DNA: A Digital Novel

   Taking the concept of identity theft to its logical conclusion, DNA is an interactive, Web-based novel set in the year 2075, in a future where genetic clones are commonplace and the unique identity of any individual is protected only by tacit consent. Detailing a year in the life of a clone who begins plotting to take on the identity of one of his "code partners," the novel includes a series of hyperlinks to real and fictional Wikipedia entries that provide a peek into the dystopic future of economic, agricultural, cultural, social, and political systems. Influenced by a range of electronic and experimental literary works published over the last fifteen years, DNA presents a non-linear narrative that allows each reader to select his or her own narrative path though the novel and to explore the text's connection to other fictional and non-fictional texts published on the Web. The networked architecture of the project enables the reader to not only construct and engage with the narrative world of the novel itself but with other narrative worlds that exist outside of the novel.

7. Blackout

   Blackout" computerspil og roman. Deadline (1997)

   "Blackout" var ikke alene mit første spilmanuskript. Det var også det første spil Deadline udgav og dermed noget af det, der fik dansk multimedia til at rulle i gang. En produktion med masser af folk der for første gang prøvede kræfter med mediet, men var klar til at give hvad som helst for at få det til at lykkes. Jeg tror der forliste tre ægteskaber under den produktion, men der kom et fantastisk produkt ud af det og møder man dem der arbejdede på det er det næsten som at høre en flok gamle soldaterkammerater. Det var en temmelig vigtig begivenhed for de fleste på produktionen.

8. Les récits voisins

   Recits voisins est le premier module mis en ligne sur oVosite. C'est aussi le plus complexe. Cet espace de lectures relie huit nouvelles autonomes en même temps qu'elles sont reliées entre elles par les destins croisés de personnages, associations poétiques ou élements naturels communs.

   Cet espace a été écrit et conçu à douze mains, six corps et têtes, et repose sur près de quatre cent cinquante liens répartis dans mille deux cent fichiers. Plus simplement, il s'agit d'un hypertexte qui ne renie pas la linéarité narrative mais tisse des passages latéraux…
