1. Cardamom of the Dead

   Written in Unity for use with Oculus RIFT glasses, Cardamom of the Dead is a literary VR environment - the user wanders through a virtual environment filled with a vast collection of things a narrator, heard in voice-over, has hoarded over years (decades? centuries?).  The environment is filled with debris and stories and the piece is ultimately a meditation on collecting as madness, consoling practice and memory palace.

2. HD pen

   HD pour Haute Densité (High Density) mais également pour Harley-Davidson car ma moto est de cette marque, fabriquée à Milwaukee, WI, USA, c'est un modèle Sporster XR 1200 à la géométrie très européenne. C'est sur elle que j'ai filmé un parcours depuis mon domicile (Montreuil) jusqu'au département des cartes anciennes des Archives Nationales (Pierrefitte-sur-Seine). C'est par la vidéo qu'est rendu ce parcours, augmenté, en filigrane, par la lecture (simultanée en français et en anglais) d'un texte venant sampler et discuter celui de Jorge Luis Borges « De la rigueur de la science » dans l'Histoire universelle de l’infamie/Histoire de l’éternité, p. 10-18, Paris (1951, 1994). Dans ce texte l'auteur se livre sous la forme d'une fable, à une réflexion sur le rapport de la carte et du territoire, et pose finalement la question des rapports des arts et des techniques, de la science et du sensible. Je poursuis ici l'idée d'une écriture par le trajet, non déterminé par la nécessité de rejoindre un point donné comme un GPS nous aide à le faire, mais en dessinant sur la carte, des lettres formant quelques mots.

3. Stéphane Mallarmé's The Conversation

   Stéphane Mallarmé's “Demon of Analogy” is a prose poem about demonic nature of mishearing. Francis Ford Coppola's “The Conversation” is about the demonic technologies that allow us to hear all-too-well. Joe Milutis' “Stéphane Mallarmé's 'The Conversation,'” with little to no editing mashes up these classic texts, to suggest that one may be a mishearing (or spooky translation) of the other. In addition, the original text of the Mallarmé poem is translated by way of a number of bending techniques that, while getting back to the original sound and meaning of the French, bend, distort and remix the original. This project is part of a larger scholarly and creative exploration of experimental translation as an extension of remix and appropriation practices. A number of chapbooks, videos, lectures and performances have emerged from this project, including Monkey pOm!

5. Motions

   Motions by Hazel Smith (text), Will Luers (image and coding), and Roger Dean (sound) is conceived as a multimedia web book, and optimized for swiping and scrolling on tablets and computers. It is also a performance piece. It is programmed in HTML 5/Javascript. Motions takes human trafficking and contemporary slavery as its focus. Human trafficking is an accelerating form of crime and is a world-wide problem. It is one of the darker outcomes of globalization, the breakdown of the nation-state, and increasing ease of travel. Static and moving, variable and sequential, the piece presents image and text fragments from different genres: documentary, journalism, poetry and narrative. These fragments are programmed to evoke the subjective experience of enslavement in motion. The sound is constructed as an interactive mosaic. It includes musical transformations of train and plane journeys. It also features two compositions that use instrumental, timbral, rhythmic and harmonic devices characteristic of very different parts of the world. These materials are compositionally transformed with electroacoustic music techniques, including a range of algorithmic compositional devices.
