1. Stir Fry Texts

   The Stir Fry Texts are interactive texts that twitch and change as you move the mouse over them. Each stir fry consists of n distinct texts. Each of the n texts is partitioned into t pieces. When you mouseover any of the t parts of a text, that part is replaced with the corresponding part of the next of the n texts. Each stir fry contains a graphic that, when clicked repeatedly, lets you cycle through the n texts. I did the programming of the stir frys and did the texts of the first couple. Later, "Log" was done in collaboration with Brian Lennon and "Blue Hyacinth" with Pauline Masurel. The project also includes two essays. "Stir Frys and Cut Ups" relates these forms, and "Material Combinatorium Supremum" discusses the combinatorial form of the stir frys. The stir fry texts are steeply combinatorial. I did the programming in DHTML. I am indebted to Marko Niemi for his upgrading of the programming in 2004. Now they run OK on both PC and Mac and most contemporary browsers on both platforms.

2. windsound

   John Cayley’s “windsound” is an algorithmic work presented as a 23-minute recording of a machine-generated reading of scrambled texts. The cinematic work presents a quicktime-video of white letters on a black screen, a text written by Cayley with a translation of the Chinese poem “Cadence: Like a Dream” by Qin Guan (1049-1100). As a sensory letter-by-letter performance, the work sequentially replaces letters on the screen, so that what starts as illegible text becomes readable as a narrative, and then again loses meaning in a jumble of letters. Cayley calls this technique “transliteral morphing: textual morphing based on letter replacements through a sequence of nodal texts.” Sequences of text appear within up to 15 lines on the same screen, thus presenting and automatically replacing a longer text on a digitally simulated single page-a concept Judd Morrissey also applies in "The Jew´s Daughter." Unlike Morrissey’s piece, Cayley’s doesn´t allow the user to interact with the work.

3. kig forbi

   Installationen Kig forbi tog udgangspunkt i Norske Hus ved Sophienholm, som i forrige århundrede var et litterært mødested for romantiske digtere som Baggesen, Oehlenschläger, Heiberg og Ingemann. 1996-99 var nøglen i forfatteren og Afsnit P-initiativtageren Christian Yde Frostholms varetægt. Med Kig forbi besvarer han kunstværket og tildelingen af nøglen ved i samarbejde med fotografen Frank Sebastian Hansen at udstille en række portrætter af forbipasserende nysgerrige, taget ud gennem vinduerne i “digterens ensomme bolig”. På internettet ledsages billederne fra installationen bl.a. af tekster af forfatterne Pia Juul og Jeppe Brixvold. Alle interesserede blev indbudt til at kigge forbi på åbningsdagen og overskride tærsklen til det ellers aflukkede hus.
