  1. The Doll Games

    The Doll Games is a hypertext project that documents a complex narrative game that Shelley and Pamela Jackson used to play when they were prepubescent girls, and frames that documentation in faux-academic discourse. In “sitting uneasily between” different styles of discourse, the work enlists the reader to differentiate between authoritative knowledge and play. Although the dolls in question are “things of childhood,” the project reveals that in the games the authors used to play with these dolls, one can find the roots of both Pamela and Shelley’s “grownup” lives: Shelley’s vocation as a fiction writer, and Pamela’s as a Berkeley-trained Ph.D. in Rhetoric. Throughout, the project plays with constructions of gender and of identity. This is a “true” story that places truth of all kinds in between those ironic question marks. The Doll Games is a network novel in the sense that it uses the network to construct narratives in a particularly novel way. The Doll Games is also consciously structured as a network document, and plays in an ironic fashion with its network context.

  2. Die Aaleskorte der Ölig

    "Die Aaleskorte der Ölig" is a combination adventure with 20 scenes by Dirk Günther and Frank Klötgen which won the Pegasus Award of DIE ZEIT, the german prize for internet literature, in 1998. It is based on a short story with only one perspective. Before the adventure starts, the reader has a chance to participate by choosing the perspective for each scene. The five protagonists are the woman Ölig, Hohmann, a group of children and an eel. Afterwards the so called "movie" starts. Every scene has a different picture and text to describe the plot which changes based on the decisions of the user in the beginning.

  3. Trilogy

    My work with visual narrative has included installation form, book works, diptychs and billboard presentations. Using the web has allowed me to continue to expand my preoccupations with constructing rules for reading, methods of pacing and continue to explore image/text relationships. I am interested in the space between language and image.

    Trilogy is comprised of 3 image/text narratives whose themes are concerned with survival. Locale and characters are suggested by cropped fragments from mass media imagery as well as map fragments. While the images may allude to time period by photographic style or content, their function (protagonist, action, location) is directed by the text.

    Trilogy is a collaboration with Los Angeles fiction writers Rod Moore and Katherine Haake, both of whom have allowed me to reconfigure their texts.

  4. Les récits voisins

    Recits voisins est le premier module mis en ligne sur oVosite. C'est aussi le plus complexe. Cet espace de lectures relie huit nouvelles autonomes en même temps qu'elles sont reliées entre elles par les destins croisés de personnages, associations poétiques ou élements naturels communs.

    Cet espace a été écrit et conçu à douze mains, six corps et têtes, et repose sur près de quatre cent cinquante liens répartis dans mille deux cent fichiers. Plus simplement, il s'agit d'un hypertexte qui ne renie pas la linéarité narrative mais tisse des passages latéraux…
