1. Tokyo Garage

   A poetry generator for the imaginary city. Tokyo Garage is a remix of Nick Montfort's "Taroko Gorge" -- a nature poem generator built in javascript. Rettberg modified the code and substituted all of the language of Montfort's work to create this poetry generator, which plays with received stereotypes of the Tokyo metropolis and of urbanity in general. A machinimatic reading was prepared for the DAC 2009 conference, including a clown reading the poem to an imaginary audience.

2. mémoire involuntaire no. 1

   This text begins as a short memory, recalled and composed by the author. Periodically and involuntarily the words are replaced in real-time by synonyms and coordinate terms extracted from the Wordnet database. After a certain amount of time has elapsed the text enters a second state where it attempts to "remember" its original form, where the text longs to reconstruct the original memory as it was first remembered and composed. In this state (in which it ceaselessly remains), the text attempts to cycle back through the word replacements and is more likely to "remember" than "forget," although there exists the possibility that the text will drift toward new replacements, new significations. As Walter Benjamin once wrote, "Memory is not an instrument for exploring the past but its theatre." Indeed, this text is an experiment in the involuntary performance of memory - forever departing from the moment of its inscription while forever attempting to return to the script and source of its unfolding.

3. Glimmer

   An anonymous parcel containing a small, bright orange plastic fish arrives one morning triggering a frightening, unexpected memory in the mind of the protagonist. Glimmer is a short mouse-responsive work of digital fiction that uses ambient sounds and rich-textured video effects to compliment the writing. There is a scene of a turbulent imaginary ocean in the middle of the work which was entirely rendered using 3D software.

4. Tramway

   A cause des changements des systèmes d'exploitation et des logiciel et l’évolution constante de la vitesse des ordinateurs, le dispositif numérique peut parfois affecter le projet artistique de l’auteur. Dans Tramway, cette instabilité du dispositif est metaphorisée sur la surface de l’écran, et elle est thématisée à travers la mise en relation entre une figure de manipulation avec les contextes média manipulables .

   Dans ce travail, j'ai essayé de composer avec l’épaisseur temporelle étrange de certains événements. Dix ans plus tard, un événement dans ma vie a pris cette épaisseur paradoxale: Ma mère et moi avons dû faire un geste qui semble toujours si solennel et naturel dans les films : fermer les yeux de mon père qui venait de mourir. Ma mère l’a finalement fait, mais d'une manière que j’ai réussi à décrire une seule fois - aussi parce qu’elle a partiellement échoué. Cette scène était resté une plaie ouverte dans ma vie - comme un œil enflammé je n’arrive ni à fermer, ni à garder ouvert.

5. Back in the R.0.K.

   The work Back in the R.0.K is set in Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries usual monochrome style. The narrative is based on a taxi ride in the Republic of Korea. The smell of the driver, the traffic lights and the message on the radio are accentuated. The story is almost that of a nightmare and ends with the word NO.

   The work was published on Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries' web page in 2009, according to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, and was adapted to video format around 2021.

6. Jacques Brel op 8 april 1929 bij zijn geboorte Avenue du Diamant 138, Schaerbeek

   The poem ‘Jacques Brel op 8 april 1929 bij zijn geboorte Avenue du Diamant 138, Schaerbeek’ (‘Jacques Brel on the 8th of April 1929 at his birth Avenue du Diamant 138, Schaerbeek’) is a part of the cycle ‘Birth cry’. In this case the poet puts words the day of his birth into Jacques Brel’s mouth. Brel on his first day of life is speaking in words of a vision he has about hiscareer as a famous Belgian chansonnier.

   Graphic designer Timo Pennings made from the lines of poetry a silent film where the words of Brel sing, jump and dance like he did in the theatre. He added piano music and the noise of the sea (Jacques Brel was an enthusiastic yachtsman).
