1. Baby Work

   BABY WORK is the 3rd edition of Cheang's LOCKER BABY PROJECT which consist of:
   BABY PLAY (2001, NTT[ICC], Tokyo) and BABY LOVE (2005, Palais de Tokyo, Paris).
   The Locker Baby project conceived in 2001 reflects a time when bioscience is accused
   of out of control and scifi fantasia brings forward the future. Deriving from Ryu
   Murakami's noted novel Coin Locker Babies (1980) of post-war Japan , the Locker Baby
   Project further contests the mother’s heart beats that are so desired for clone babies
   born out of lockers. A fictional scenario set in 2030 - the transnational DPT (DollyPolly
   Transgency) produces and engages clone locker babies in negotiating human "Memory"
   and "Emotion”. The clone baby holds the key to retrieve the networked inter-sphere of
   ME-data embedded in a playfield of sonic imagery triggered only by human interaction.
   In BABY PLAY, an oversized baby football field with clone baby players; in BABY LOVE, a
   ride in 6 motorized fairground teacups with love song remixed by clone babies; in BABY

2. The Broadside of a Yarn

   The Broadside of a Yarn is a multi-modal performative pervasive networked narrative attempt to chart fictional fragments of new and long-ago stories of near and far-away seas with naught but a QR reader and a hand-made map of dubious accuracy. This project may perhaps be best understood as an assemblage of interrelated narrative elements mediated across a continuum forms - a collection of stories, a folio of broadsides, or an unbound atlas of impossible maps composed of a combination of historical sources, interspersed with "found" images, quotations from well known sailors’ yarns, and my own drawings and photographs, and fiction. These printed maps are embedded with QR codes link mobile devices to computer-generated narrative dialogues which may then serve as scripts for poli-vocal performances, and/or suggest a series of imprecise pervasive performative walks. This project is, in a Situationist sense, a wilfully absurd endeavour. How can I, a displaced native of rural Nova Scotia (New Scotland), perform the navigation of a narrative route through urban Edinburgh (Old Scotland)?

3. The Final Problem

   The Final Problem will be a city-specific multi-disciplinary project encompassing elements
   of writing, text mining, data-visualization, and community psychogeography, woven together through algorithmic composition. The piece will loosely appropriate the conventions and mechanics of a crime novel as constraints for the filtering and framing of content and the development of narrative rules. There will be three in-gallery manifestations: augmented installation, real-time performance, and free lunch.

4. Common Tongues

   Common Tongues remediates practices and processes of reading, and addresses, critically, the commodification of reading itself, and the proprietary enclosure of a growing portion of our linguistic cultural commons.

   Common Tongues emerges from the artists’ collaboration on The Readers Project (http://thereadersproject.org). Processes that were developed in this framework and that are based, in part, on previous manifestations of the Project are applied to a reading of Samuel Beckett’s How It Is and used to generate new poetic texts, remediating social reading.

5. _The_Tem(Cor)p(oral)_Body_

   The _The_Tem(Cor)p(oral)_Body_ Project involves a mash-up of scientific jargon + mezangelled variables to create a aggregated faux scientific manual involving the concept of Temporal_Body_Divorce" [or _TBD_]. This _TBD_ emphasizes exploitation possibilities involved in gradual geophysically/synthetic/space-time disconnections and will manifest in a set of codeworks created on the 01-03 November 2011 + then updated/modified live during the Remediating the Social Event [01-03 November 2012]. The core of the work is the performative act of present/future “time modification[s]” [or timemodding] of mezangelled snippets sent to the author/artist’s future self via the use of futureme.org.

6. How It Is in Common Tongues

   How It Is in Common Tongues was composed by searching for the text of Samuel Beckett’s How It Is using a universally accessible search engine, attempting to find, in sequence, the longest common phrases from How It Is that were composed by writers or writing machines other than Beckett. These phrases are quoted from a portion of the commons of language that happens to have been indexed by a universally accessible engine.

8. A crissxross trail < R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX: one remix player's scenic route through remixworx

   A crissxross trail < R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX is a meta-remix of the artist's personal creative journey through remixworx, a collaborative online remixing project. Conceived as a poetic interactive infographic with lots of multimedia animated content, this 'scenic route' presents a sample trail of 33 out of the 100 remixes that Christine Wilks (aka crissxross) has created since joining remixworx in January 2007. The trail includes a text commentary about her experience of remixing and co-creating over the past six years. A crissxross trail < R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX: one remix player's scenic route through remixworx formed the core of Christine Wilks's presentation for the ELMCIP Conference on Remediating the Social in November 2012.
