Last Words
The complete title for this multimedia poem is “Last Words (Ordinary People Speak at the Moment of Death / In or Around the New York City Area)” and it is both descriptive of the poem’s theme and suggestive of a key strategy. Organized around eight characters’ final words and the contexts in which those words were uttered, each one is represented by a brief “slice of death” narrative, and a poetic voice from beyond that provides an ironic counterpoint, full of Bigelow’s characteristic darkly understated humor.

Always Tomorrow
Always Tomorrow is a virtual reality fiction piece for HTC Vive. The viewer/reader is positioned in the centre of an infinite visual galaxy populated by 40 small interactive spheres, suggestive of planets but textured with distorted images that resonate with the stories they hold within. The viewer touches the spheres in any order to activate audio and unfold a time-twisting, fringeaffirming, ether-inflected love story set in Berlin in the Weimar Republic with a tomorrow already speaking itself on the protagonists’ lips. We hope the piece resonates with the contemporary moment, too, somewhere between histories and futures; the objects of our desires and our longing, the periphery of the culture and its centre. It’s also a mediation on the power of poetry.

Tin Towns and Other Excel Fictions
Tin Towns and Other Excel Fictions is an ongoing, open-ended collection of short fiction experiments that explore the obscurities and unintended consequences of human technology over the centuries. The genesis was an investigation into some of the causes of the end of the Bronze Age, including the shortage of tin. Critical developments in metals, nuclear energy, farming practices, and biological warfare are just some of the topics included in these works.

Author's statement:
We normally think of fiction narratives as represented in linear text. Yet, electronic literature works – the born digital varieties - have been created with and contained in a range of innovative and often non-linear applications.
