Alphonse the protagonist is standing out in a rainstorm contemplating his ailing sister and his role in her recovery. User touch controls the pace of raindrops falling on Alphonse and calls forth phrases of Alphonse's interior monologue.

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz (iPhone app)
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz is a sound toy, a performance tool and an art work in its own right. You can play with the letter-creatures and watch and listen how they interact with each other or use them to produce soundscapes like you would with an electronic musical instrument. abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz blends art, biology, fun and physics to create a unique, dynamic and interactive sound ecology.
This app is the result of joerg piringer's ongoing research of vocal sounds and their relation to dynamic typography in the form of performance, video and software art.

Separation
Le projet La Séparation réunit des artistes (du groupe ALIS et du collectif I-Trace), des enseignants-chercheurs et des élèves-ingénieurs (de l'Université de Technologie de Compiègne) autour de "la poésie à 2 mi-mots", inventée par Pierre Fourny. La "poésie à 2 mi-mots" s'attache d'abord à l'aspect visuel des mots et se fonde sur "la police coupable", police de caractères permettant de couper les mots en deux horizontalement et d'associer la moitié obtenue à une autre moitié pour former un nouveau mot. Très vite, Pierre Fourny a fait développer un logiciel (le combinALISons), lui offrant la possibilité de trouver un nombre de combinaisons impossibles à saisir par un cerveau humain moyen, formé à la lecture dite "rapide et silencieuse". Bientôt, la "police de l'ombre" allait également voir le jour (grâce au logiciel), révélant la présence de mots contenus dans d'autres. Aujourd'hui, une "centrale police" s'impose également. La "poésie à 2 mi-mots" est désormais une pratique éprouvée regroupant différents procédés qui permettent de jouer d'une manière originale, sur scène et au-delà, avec la forme des mots.

Kubbe Lager Skyggeteater
In this digital first picture book app, the reader encounters several interwoven stories connected by a thoroughly digital aesthetics that suits the different stories. The frame narrative centres around Kubbe, an anthropomorphic wooden log (kubbe is Norwegian for log) who is having a picnic with his grandmother and becomes curious about the shadows he sees. Upon hearing his grandmother’s story about how shadow theatre was created in ancient China, Kubbe decides to produce his own shadow theater: an unusal retelling of “Little Red Riding Hood”. The tablet’s affordances of back lighting, animation and visual spatiality are exploited in this app in a manner that suits and enhances the different stories’ individual characteristics.

Jakob og Neikob
Ein rålekker, kvit Ipad 2 låg inne i bursdagspapiret på 38-årsdagen min for litt sidan. Først fleire dagar seinare fekk eg prøve han sjølv, då hadde ungane lasta ned alt frå Fifa 12 til Angry Birds. No er det derimot ein annan applikasjon dei opnar aller oftast: Den nye barnebok-appen Jakob og Nekob er ikkje berre den mest brukte heime hjå oss, han låg òg på toppen av salslistene i haust Jakob seier JA! til alt og Neikob seier NEI! til alt. Slikt vert det trøbbel og krokodillemat av. På lesebrettet kan borna aktivere mange artige effektar. Jakob og Neikob seier orda sine, krokodiller brøler, lampene skrur seg på og av og bilen brummar bortover vegen. Innlesinga skrur du på og av som du vil. Eit lite spel er også med. Samlaget har lykkast særs godt i ta med seg Kari Stai sin genistrek over til dette nye mediet. (source: http://www.nynorskbok.no/2011/12/28/kari-stai-jakob-og-neikob-app/)

Gateway to the World
Gateway to the World is a mobile application designed to run on an iPad2 / iPad mini or later models. This work was created specifically for the SILT exhibition, hosted in Hamburg, Germany in June 2014. I took this exhibition as an opportunity to research the city of Hamburg and discovered that it had one of the largest ports in the world; its name Gateway to the World (GttW) seemed like a great title for the app. The vast and busy port served as a metaphor for the immensity of the Internet, the flow of information and its meaning of openness and outreach to the World Wide Web. The aim of the app was to use open data from the maritime databases to visualize the routes of the vessels arriving to and from the Port of Hamburg, as well as have the vessels’ names mapped to Wikipedia entries. As the vessels move they act as writing tools to reveal a string of text creating calligramatic forms of information pulled from Wikipedia entries about the name of the vessels.
