  1. Tafel/Blackboard

    1993/94 und 1999

    Vor einer alten Wandtafel - auf der noch Spuren weggewischter Kreide erkennbar sind - ist ein Monitor auf Schienen befestigt. Ein Betrachter kann diesen Monitor horizontal und vertikal verschieben. Dabei fährt der Monitor über Wörter und Sätze, die auf der realen Tafel nicht zu sehen sind. Fährt der Monitor über eine Position, an der vorher ein Wort stand, befindet sich hier jetzt ein anderes Wort. Die Wörter und Sätze sind Zitate und Zitatfragmente, die aus dem Themenkomplex Erinnerung/Text/Abbild stammen. Sie wurden von unterschiedlichen Personen mit Kreide auf die Tafel geschrieben, fotografiert, digitalisiert und dann wieder von der Tafel gewischt. Der Computer ordnet zufällig die Zitate verschiedenen Positionen auf der Tafel zu.

  2. Nome

    A multimedia project produced in book, video, and CD form.

    "The poems of Nome pointed to the necessity of thinking not only about the transformations that the exchange of material artifacts implies in the way we interact with the words, but also in the way they modify the meanings of the words in this mediatic ecology system in which contents are made available to reading in different situations (at the museum, at home or in the street), affecting the poetic perception in a network of meanings that connects and individualizes them."

  3. Ambulance: An Electronic Novel

    Very little information about this work is available online. P. Sugarman writes that "Ambulance is about some Gen-Xers who run into a string of spectacularly bad luck involving a car accident and a serial killer disguised as an ambulance driver. One of the most effective elements here is the music sampling. The droning repetition of the musical phrases, over & over while you absorb slices of the story, gives the whole experience an obsessive, claustrophobic feeling."

  4. Sintext

    'Sintext,' an "automatic text synthesizer," or text generator, was first developed in DOS by Pedro Barbosa in collaboration with Abílio Cavalheiro, who wrote the program in C++. For the later version for the Web, developed in Java with the collaboration by José Manuel Torres, see the ELMCIP record for 'Sintext-W:' http://elmcip.net/node/8009

  5. Brown House Kitchen

    During the author's residency as a writer and designer of experimental computer mediated narratives in the Computer Science Lab (CSL) at  Xerox PARC,  the exploratory narrative, Brown House Kitchen was written and programmed  in LambdaMOO,  a MOO that uses an object oriented programming language developed at PARC by Pavel Curtis.  Influenced by conversations with Curtis and by the ubiquitous computing research being undertaken in CSL,  the narrative took place in  a future communal eating space where virtual interrelated devices integral to the functioning of the kitchen recorded events in various ways.  In Rashoman fashion, these devices related the details of things that occurred in a previous November in different but related ways. Players who "entered" Brown House Kitchen unfolded the story in various (unpredictable) ways by examining the things they found in the environment. For instance, the "narranoter" disclosed pseudo-randomly generated text using the UNIX date and was based on the

  6. Marble Springs 1.0

    Marble Springs, a complex and lyrical new work in the tradition of Spoon River Anthology and Winesburg, Ohio, explores the lives of the women who built the American West. Marble Springs invites the reader to explore a collection of poems discovered in the ruins of a church in an abandoned ghost town. The poems, like the lives of so many 19th century women, are anonymous, enticing the reader to discover the identity of the author hidden between the lines.

  7. RA-DIO

    In 1993 the first Italian hypertext novel, Ra-Dio, was published on floppy-disk along with a print edition. Lorenzo Miglioli aimed to break traditional schemes of Italian literature exactly as Sex Pistols’ punk renovated musical panoramas in the 70's. Thus, this work has not been corrected on its orthography aspects and it has some obscene and disturbing content, that had their ultimate success in the group of Italian writers named “Cannibali”, founded later on. “RA-DIO, 1993, was thought as a readymade […] Ra-Dio has to be kept closed, in its cellophane, that one is the exhibited work. Literary, construction of fiction and theory-fiction, parallel worlds and often alternative words [...] doesn't try to express the unexpressible. In case, to unexpress the expressible.” The Great Hypertext Swindle, «Neural», 1994

  8. pianographique

    "pianographique" is a "multimedia instrument" created in 1993 on CD-ROM and made available on the Web in 1996 by a French webarts collective. "pianographique" is a work of "programmatical literal art," a term coined by John Cayley. Letters are "literal" here: they tumble and morph automatically, and they can also be manipulated on occasion by the reader-interactor and/or generated by the program. The user of this work is presented with a keyboard on the screen that corresponds to the keyboard beneath her fingertips. Each letter of the user's keyboard, when pressed, produces a distinct sound score and an animation that can be displaced by the hand of the user working a mouse. Playing the "piano" of graphics and sound bites, the user can create an infinite number of verbal visual-aural collages, while hitting the space bar effaces all that has come before.

  9. Collocations: Indra's Net II

    A collection of texts, which combine based on next-word branching (similar to Leaving the City).  By taking a given word on a page, an underlying script will find all other instances of that word in the supplied corpus, and randomly determine which work's text to shift into.

    Collocations is an anthology consisting of:

    "Under It All 2"

    "A Refinement of Language"

    "Indra's PoemPoem"

    "Critical Theory"

     

    Each of these uses similar methods of generating acrostic text to create the final work.

  10. 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."
