Going through the Signs
This collaborative hypertext poem uses a “page space” designed by Zellen to create a sequence of pop-up windows that last 20 seconds before closing along with links that lead to new pop-up windows, simultaneously closing the previous one, and leading to a final page with three thin vertical frames. This produces a powerful sense of progression in which the reader must press on or have to start over while not providing any way to get back to an earlier page. Larsen uses this structure to build a trail of consciousness which includes the thoughts of a character seeking a path and sense of purpose in a world that seems to have the former, but not the latter.

Into the Green Green Mud
A story of love, and after-love. Eternity is a fickle thing, and the moments just keep coming. Clouds shift, the sun moves past, and squirrels are collecting nuts, so where does that leave us?
Into the Green Green Mud is an ode to change & impermanence, both in content and medium. Starting from a simple text “script” we are creating a number of inter-related “performances” in various media. This version includes text, images, code, and animation, with a soundtrack that you can download and listen to. Future versions might include a printed book, a live multimedia performance, sky writing, or anything else we decide to explore.

Incarnation: Heart of the Maze
This lyrically powerful hypertext poem is inspired and informed by a large number of sources, primarily on mythology (mostly Greek) and labyrinths (mandala shaped ones). Centered upon the Minotaur myth, the labyrinth Daedalus and Icarus built to contain it, Ariadne and the Minotaur himself, the poem gives a voice to some of these characters, representing them visually with an image of a portion of the mandala-shaped stone maze, and a body part (in the name given to the node. The hypertext is structured like a mandala, allowing readers to take direct paths in towards a center space with its own nodes. The interface also allows for lateral or circular movement across voices, placing them in conversation with one another and allowing readers to spiral in towards the center.

Oisleánd: Indra's Net IX
Oisleánd is a hypertext work using mesostic techniques to combine two translations of one text. The "performance text" is generated by taking each letter in either the Irish poem "Oileán" or its English interpretation "Island", and substituting it with a full word from the other version (containing that letter). Thus, a new poem - either "English in Irish" or "Irish in English" is built, to use the author's words.

Pressing the Reveal Code Key: Indra's Net VIII
This work uses the same basic structure as the author's earlier "Book Unbound".
"Reveal Code" takes a hidden text corpus and creates a "generative performance" based on a collocation algorithm. The audience can then choose phrases from the generative performance and set them aside on pages labeled Thesis, Antithesis, and Synthesis, where they can be edited freely. Selections will also become part of the hidden corpus; the text will, over time, evolve to the audience's taste.
More information can be found in the author's article "Pressing the 'Reveal Code' Key", EJournal, March 1996: http://www.ucalgary.ca/ejournal/archive/ej-6-1.txt
Similarly, "Potentialities of Literary Cybertext" (April 1996, Visible Language) also explores this hypertext more deeply.

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."

Rush
Rush er en hyperfortelling bestående av skrift, bilde og animasjon. Skriften beveger seg over skjermen i et rolig tempo. Ved visse intervaller må leseren ta et valg som får konsekvenser for det videre handlingsforløpet. Samtidig er hyperteksten og de ulike veivalgene som leseren må ta, visualisert for leseren gjennom et kart. Hyperfortellingen viser fram det alvorlige og forpliktende ved de valgene leseren må ta. Og som leseren vil forstå, er det aldri noen ”second chance”

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.
