1. Tehtaan kuolema

    Tehtaan kuolema kertoo vanhoista tehtaista ja niissä viihtyvistä ihmisistä.Tehtaat eivät tuota enää tavaraa, mutta ne ovat edelleen tärkeitä. Ne ovat työtiloja, harrastuspaikkoja, kulttuurin keskuksia ja samalla konkreettinen osa kaupungin perinteitä. Silti tehtaat ovat joutuneet purku-uhan alle.Tätä reportaasia analysoidaan journalistisessa pro gradu -tutkielmassa Verkkoreportaasin synty.

2. The Death of a Factory

   A hypertextual, mulitmodal report on old, abandoned factories, and about the people who still work in the factory spaces. Through stories in text, spoken voice, music, other sounds, still images and moving images, we are shown how abandoned factories have become the basis of cultural production, often now functioning as cultural centres and attractions. This hypertext speaks in favour of protecting and repurposing old factory spaces that are threatened with demolition. The hypertext calls itself a report, but could also be connected to the genres of narrative and of documentary, digital visual art, digital movies, sound art and digital installation.

3. carrier (becoming symborg)

   carrier investigates the fluid boundaries of the body and the self via viral symbiosis in the biological and virtual domains by weaving an intimate love story between the viewer and the hepatitis C virus. The site integrates artificial and viral intelligence with immune system and computer operating system discourse within the swarming electronically networked nervous system of our planet — the world wide web, immersing the viewer in VRML worlds, Shockwave games, and Java-generated textual landscapes. We are lead through the site by sHe, an intelligent viral agent, who crosses our species boundary, penetrating our cellular core, repositioning viral infection as positive biological merging with the flesh. We become symborg as the boundaries between human / machine / species dissolve. carrier comes in several versions, allowing the viewer to navigate alone or with the virus, as well an offline gallery stand-alone version.

4. Terminal Time

   Terminal Time is a history "engine:" a machine which combines historical events, ideological rhetoric, familiar forms of TV documentary, consumer polls and artificial intelligence algorithms to create hybrid cinematic experiences for mass audiences that are different every single time. History as it was meant to be told!

   History is in your hands! Through an audience response-measuring device (applause-meter) connected to a computer, viewing audiences respond to periodic questions reminiscent of marketing polls. These questions occur every 6 minutes during the story. The loudest applause determines the winning answer.

   Your answers to these questions allow the computer program to create historical narratives that mirror and even exaggerate your biases and desires. Just clap, watch and enjoy. At long last, Terminal Time gives you the history you deserve!

5. Developing: the Idea of Home

   If, as Henri Lefebvre asserted, "spatial thinking" involves several different ways of conceptualizing space-as idea, as lived, as imagined-then perhaps an open system of examples can generate new ideas about "home" in the future. This is an experiment in reading; the CD-ROM is organized in an associative manner, since the subject radiates in so many different directions. There is obviously a "direction" here, that is no hidden-but the user may peruse and reconnect the fabric of the piece in many different ways. And, if our habitat may be located within a given social order, defined by economics, culture, and history, these forces must be viewed as interacting, rather than fixed.
