1. Softies

   Softies is a series of animated, typographic poems created with the Mr. Softie vector typographics
   editor. The author describes these works as “wrinkled squirming typographic poems (fresh in 2009).”
   Because of its malleable form, the work forces the user to move and engage with it. The ongoing
   reshaping of the words and the ambient music playing in the background add to its hypnotic quality.

5. ABC LA: Portrait d'une ville en 26 lettres

   “THE ABC: portrait of a city in 26 letters offers a reading in Los Angeles over the alphabet, an attempt to find coherence in what appears not to have to give shape to what is often perceived as amorphous. Beyond the clichés this portrait reveals textual and audio aspects of the city hidden behind her image hypermédiatisée”

6. When I Was President

   When I Was President is a portrait of absolute power as depicted by a fictional President of the United States. This President is unnamed and non-historical, that is, he has never, and could never, exist, yet what he represents is archetypal in nature and endures within the optimism, dangers, and limitations of political power. The work is created in Flash and divided into nine sections, each of which addresses a different Presidential act of power, and its consequences. The acts of power are elemental and metaphoric--they are simultaneously absurd, idiosyncratic, and impossible, yet they seem to tell some basic truth about the promise of absolute power, and its inherent failures. This work uses images, videos, and audio files acquired online, and modified by the artist. A credits page is included on the site.

8. Red Lily

   Red Lily is a Flash poem divided into three musical movements that address the pain of lost love. Visual symbols, like a child playing with ducklings and a calla lily, juxtapose innocence and death, while the sound of the tolling bell coupled with textual clues of blood and needles emphasize love's end.

9. Shy Boy

   Shy Boy is a Flash poem that uses movement, visual images, and sound to deep into the soul and life of one very shy boy. The monochromatic use of black, gray, and white suggest a child who calls no attention to himself and the vanishing text, his own lack of presence among his schoolyard peers.

10. Suicide in an Airplane

    Suicide in an Airplane is a flash-based algorithmic poem/painting in black and white. Poet Brian Kim Stefans, using text derived from pages of The New York Times, has created a work in which terms associated with a hijacking incident randomly appear on the screen. The words, which have the appearance of pencil doodling, break into separate letters and chaotically bounce around the screen, sometimes disintegrating on impact with other text, other times moving about in what seems to be a floating anagram. Accompanied by tone cluster piano chords in a composition by Leo Ornstein, the text seems to pulse with the music. At times, letters fly into objects constructed of other text and explode in sync with music that mimics the scream of jet engines.
