EMAJI NARATGEE MARAKKA. a Game and a Fable
Convinced that the civic life of my country has been usurped by a game of alternate reality, I respond with a counter-game (or simulation, or expiation), whose object is, however momentarily, to stint the spewings of the Troll so that a different story can emerge. This story concerns the arc of the moral universe and a woman who, with all the luck in the world, can bend it like a bow. It is a fable and perhaps a parable. Against the purulent babble of monsters from the id, it offers words of comfort and counteraction.
Instructions: Click to begin the Trollspiel. Observe the horror. Find the option that interrupts it. Read a bit of the story. Return to Trollspiel. Fight through and keep fighting until the end.Nina Kolovic - 26.09.2018 - 15:02

Our Cupidity Coda
There’s an aspect of current Virtual reality that underplays an emphasis on the personal, the poetic, the introspective, and the spaces that exist in between. Our Cupidity Coda seeks to address this by creating (what I term) a MicroVR Experience: a poetic snapshot of the life span of a romantic relationship, bridging the gap between the impersonal and the intimate.
The meat of the project is a set of poetic texts interspersed with 360 illustrative stills. The work is deliberately designed to partially echo the conventions from early film-making days (including no audio), making a viewer focus on text inserts, which are contrasted with having to move (turn in the 360 VR space) and view the 360 tableaus (a reflection of the theme underlying the work) to engage fully with the 360 illustration sections.

Remixing Shakespeare : Witch Hunts! Power Plays! & Uses of Adversity. A Netprov in Three Acts
This project remixes video vignettes of the character contests from Shakespeare with the power-plays of our time. The work features multi-layered video and a crowd-sourced text feed, pulled from public domain and social media. Netprov players add their own words to the text flow, contributing to the politico/poetical drama.
“Sweet are the uses of adversity,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in everything.”Jane Lausten - 26.09.2018 - 15:11

Fractalize 1: I've loved you from afar
FRACTALIZE is a hypermedia fiction project created by Tony Vieira, with Lesley Loksi Chan and Arthur Yeung. The first installment, ”I've loved you from Afar,” is a fractal reminiscence of a romance across space and time. Created for Supercrawl 2017, a four day art and indie music festival in Hamilton, Canada, Fractalize is intended to exist both inside a gallery space as much as within the audience member’s smartphone. Narrative “fractals” will be delivered over the course of the five day ELO Conference and Festival via email and social media, with intentional knowledge gaps that users fill in based on their own experience, anxieties, and desires. Users experience the project in the form of VR/360º video gallery exhibit, video walks, web videos, photographs, original music, text messages, sound art, Spotify playlists, and social media posts. Characters within the narrative have their own social media identities which are regularly updated over the course of the exhibition, creating a blurring of the lines that separate reality and virtuality.

OTTARAS: 2CONCRETE
In the autumn 2014 I was reading in the TARP festival in Vilnius and in the ZEBRA film poetry festival in Berlin. This was motivating for extending my project in the direction of sound poetry. Meeting the Russian composer Taras Mashtalir in e-Poetry2013 in London and later in Bergen, has resulted in a great collaboration. Together we are OTTARAS, and so far we have produced six sound poetry tracks based on my earlier works and with videos made by Alexander Vojjov and Yan Kalnberzin.

Berlin Remix
"Berlin: Symphony of a Great City" by Walter Ruttman (1927) is the central work in the genre of "City Films" which thrived internationally in the 1920s and 1930s. "Berlin Remix" is a generative video installation based on this seminal work. The original film has been deconstructed into its individual shots, which are placed in a shots database. "Berlin Remix" investigates cinematic style and technique through the creation and presentation of an ongoing series of short films drawn from this database. Each of these short films reflects a different facet of the original work, and each film is unique - differing from the others in cinematic style, thematic content or both. The artist has defined a number of style templates through analysis of various documentary films, particularly those in the City Film genre. The templates incorporate different content themes (such as work, recreation, culture, class) and a variety of cinematic manipulations (such as sequencing pattern, editing pace, transition choice, and visual treatment). The templates will use real-time algorithmic operations to call up shots and apply the cinematic treatment.

Wuxia le renard
Sensitive to the idea of reconnecting children to their environment using a paper book, the designers wanted to make the experience more stimulating through technology. "I first wanted to encourage my daughter to enjoy slow, contemplative reading, because I observed that this kind of reading made her able to invent stories with a richer imagination," says Jonathan Belisle, author of Wuxia the Fox and partner at SAGA. This children's story, uniting the paper book with an iPad application, features speech recognition technology that is animated by reading aloud and triggers musical patterns, sound effects and interactive scenes.

Rewriting, Relearning : Creative Collaborations in the Digital Humanities
Eight scholars joined an experimental writing workshop in the mid 2000s, in the hope of transforming their work and its impact—and developed some of the first projects to be published in the groundbreaking digital humanities journal Vectors. In this musical, performative documentary, your keypresses trigger statements and media from alumni of the Vectors workshop as they retrace their experiences, which for many had a significant effect on how they thought and wrote. Delivered using a new technology called Stepworks, every word, image, sound, video, and musical note in the documentary was individually specified using Google Sheets. The work is presented in two parts, which can be navigated

Institute for Southern Contemporary Art
The Institute for Southern Contemporary Art is a long-term project that aims to
develop an experimental platform for artists and cultural producers through
results derived from machine learning and art market data. Drawing from climate
change disasters and the use of algorithmic analysis, the video portrays a
dystopian future where the creation of art is tied to its market consumption.
Although ISCA’s mission seems disconcerting, it also strikes as strangely
familiar. Is ISCA simply looking to join the likes of existing programs such as
ArtRank and Art Advisor, or does it rather wish to shed light on the possible
pitfalls of these endeavours? Doubt is at the core of this proposition.(source: Description from the schedule)

Salt Immortal Sea 2
An explosion sends you, the reader, from your boat in the Mediterranean into what Homer called the salt immortal sea only to be rescued by a mysterious ancient watercraft. Aboard this boat, you encounter allegorical characters from ancient and modern times, locked in a dangerous power struggle, passing secrets, currying favor, creating enemies, and fostering unrest. In this interactive story, we recast figures in the contemporary refugee crisis against the mythos of the quintessential traveler, Odysseus, for the refugee likewise travels cursed, unable to return home. The story of the refugee is a harrowing reality reimagined here in terms of sirens and cyclops, not to make the horrors of war fanciful but to render the tale of the most abject and disenfranchised of global citizens in epic terms.
