1. Still Standing

   Still Standing is an interactive installation that invites participants to stay motionless and contemplate its poetic content, a poem titled “seeking sedation.” Nowadays, designs are created to be decrypted and enjoyed at a glance, requiring no attention span. The piece evolved as a response to the "collapse of the interval"; a phenomenon of fast pace culture that rarely allows us a moment to stop and observe; a habit that weakens the fragile approach towards design with dynamic typography. The installation consists of an amalgam of characters projected on the wall as if they were resting on the floor. When a participant walks in front of the projection, the first reaction of the text is to act as if it was being kicked, pushed by the person's feet. When the participant stops for a short moment, the text is attracted towards his position and moves up, like water soaking his body. The participant can then enjoy a motionless moment and contemplate the textual content that becomes more and more legible. When the user is done and decides to start moving again, the text falls back to the floor and wait for a new interaction.

2. text.curtain

   'text.curtain' explores relationships between poetic text and ludic play via an interactively evolving recombinant text. Projected on a wall-size screen, text.curtain presents a physics-based 'spring-mass' interface that organically responds to the interactions of multiple simultaneous users. As the piece is disrupted and letters wash back and forth, a granular synthesis engine provides realtime aural feedback. Tension is created through the simultaneous desire of users to both disrupt the existing text via 'play' and to 'read' the piece as it evolves and recombines in response.

4. Turbo på ordet

   Three eMac computers present three of Danish poet Per Højholt´s concrete poetry: Turbo, +1, and Punkter (Points). These celebrated poems were first written in 1968, 1969, and 1971 respectively. They focus on language play, and the visual forms of language, often at the expense of language meaning. Turbo, in particular, is considered a milestone in the history of Danish poetry. This installation, Turbo på ordet (Turbo on the Word), re-presents Højholt's poetic forms with Flash animation. In 2005, it was first unveiled at the Audatur festival for ny poesi (Audiatur Festival for New Poetry) in Bergen, Norway, and was subsequently set up at two libraries in Roskilde, Denmark in 2006.
