1. OneSmallStep: a MySpace LuvStory

   "OneSmallStep: a MySpace LuvStory" is an unfolding automated jam—a conscious sampling and randomized regurgitation of MySpace.com media archeology wherein desire, fantasy and fetish form a composted feast for the withered and lonely senses in an eternally habitual loop of voyeuristic consumption, spectacular regurgitation, virtual intimacy and identity production/consumption. 

   Artist Statement

   We are not ourselves. We cut and paste as we are cut and pasted. We are the remix of images and sounds that never existed outside of this mediated dream. And we are happy to exist this way. 

   "OneSmallStep: a MySpace LuvStory" is an unfolding automated jam - a conscious sampling and randomized regurgitation of MySpace.com media archeology wherein desire, fantasy and fetish form a composted feast for the withered and lonely senses in an eternally habitual loop of voyeuristic consumption, spectacular regurgitation, virtual intimacy and identity production/consumption. 

   With each launch, "OneSmallStep" runs continuously while randomly remixing content from a database that is periodically updated.

2. Radiowall

   I have an old theory that all the actual things (structures, ideas and so on…) are already in the air. Every poet is like a radio. He has to have an antenna (spiritual self) for getting the things (waves, ideas…) from the air. But he has to have tuning knob for getting signal clear – and that is his professional skills. And also he needs loudspeakers for making the sound powerful and recognizable – that’s his talent. Sometimes people have an antenna but their tuning knob is not precise enough. Sometimes their loudspeakers are too quiet… Actually I wrote one poem about a person – a young girl – who is at the same time a radio wave and in 2001 we, with the animator Diana Palijchuk, made a poetry video based on this poem.

3. Right

   Right media archeological installation built of modified fax machines performing the same print job in a loop for days. These self –printing machines change their job over time from printing the monostych to drawing a pattern.Two loops of fax paper (5 and 12 metres approximately) are used. One has the text of a poem, while the second one has it printed on itself (repeated many times in loop – fax technology allows copying). On one hand it represents mechanic circling forming of a machine given a task it cannot stop performing, on the other hand the text repeated acquires the aspect of graphicality, linguistic signs trasformed to graphic image, a pattern of graphic symbols. The thermal printing technology used in faxes (instead of ink) allowed for installation to go on during a month without a break. The rustling sound fax produced was collected and enchanced as an important compositional feature.

4. Waves

   Everything disappears. Recordings of our voices will become archeological remains, and a spinning record yields fossil waves. Waves is based on three poems by Tor Ulven. Published as part 8 of the electronic poetry film series Gasspedal Animert, intended for electronic distribution through the internet, the film combines text, sound and digital animation. This particular film is a collaboration between the small press Gasspedal and the publishing house Gyldendal.

5. Electronic Literature Support Group (netprov)

   This netprov was an assignment in the course on Digital Genres (DIKULT103, University of bergen) during the spring of 2020. The netprov premise and structure was inspired by The Machine Learning Breakfast Club (Marino and Wittig 2019)

   The Premise
   After decades of development, works of electronic literature are fed-up with the way they are treated. At once lauded and despised, ignored and overanalyzed, it is time we finally hear from the e-lit works themselves. In this netprov, you are each the personification of a creative work sharing your troubles and asking other works for advice.

   On the forum, you are invited to share your issues, whether you are a remixed combinatory poem with a limited sense of self, a 3rd generation work with an inferiority complex, or a classic hypertext novel with abandonment issues.
