8-bite
Artist description: This is a game created by spencer and kelsey for the 8th issue of taper, a computational poetry magazine. The idea is a subversion of the classic pacman, where instead of eating food, the player eats words to make their own poem. The words come from a very limited word bank, but because they are curated to be multipurpose, the limited word set and constraints of movement on the grid provide a lot of fun playability. Play around! Your poems will save automatically (local to your browser) and you can optionally submit them to the public gallery.

Digital Commedia
La Digital Commedia è una riscrittura contemporanea del poema dantesco attraverso la quale il Sommo Poeta, smarrito nella selva oscura dei nuovi media, intraprende un viaggio negli Inferi della società delle piattaforme digitali.
Il progetto, curato dal Dipartimento di Scienze umane dell’Università LUMSA, si articola in una narrazione transmediale tra web e social network ed è online dal 25 marzo 2021, in concomitanza con la celebrazione dei 700 anni dalla morte di Dante Alighieri.Richard Snyder - 27.09.2022 - 19:03

醉詠詩 Zui Yong Shi
《醉詠詩 Zui Yong Shi》is a multi-media artwork that generates Chinese WuYan JueJu poetry and pentatonic melody to pair with the poetry. The poetry matches most of the strict rules of WuYan JueJu poetry and the melody follows the Chinese pentatonic scale. “醉詠詩” means the poetry of singing intoxicatingly or to intoxicatingly sing poetries. I was inspired by the article 《春夜宴桃李園序》 by famous Chinese poet 李白Li Po. In the article, 李白Li Po expresses his feelings of enjoying the present by writing down the condition of he and his friends gathering together to drink, write poetries and sing. He views this as a desirable way to enjoy life. Thus, I created this artwork as a representation of the status of Li Po and his friends’ gathering. The painting is a painting by 冷枚Leng Mei also inspired by 《春夜宴桃李園序》. It also recreates the scene of 李白Li Po and his friends’ gathering.

How to Rob a Bank
How To Rob A Bank is a young Bonnie and Clyde-esque love story about the mishaps that befall a young male bank robber and his female accomplice. This transmedia fiction manifests in the form of animated text conversations between the main characters, and their use of their iPhones to Google search, text, game, and use other apps on the phone as part of their capers.
The story is an immersive experience generated through readers’ hands-on use of apps, maps, imagery, animations and audio. Bigelow’s award winning 2016 multimodal work foregrounds how social technology has become a core element of daily life, and helps us see the way that social technologies structure lived experience.
The mirror effect of the character/reader’s use of personal devices as they read this piece makes this narrative relatable, shining light on widespread digital traversing behaviors. And yet, the storytelling is also traditional in its linear development with five sequential episodes.

Science For Idiots
Science For Idiots is an older Flash piece resurrected using HTML5, CSS, and Javascript and now playable on multiple devices and browsers. Its resurrection is the first “education” offered to the viewer: a visit to the online source page is an instruction, via its example, of how a Flash work can be converted into a contemporary piece of electronic literature for the web.
The second “education” is within the piece itself. Science For Idiots takes us through some basic scientific concepts (evolution, global warming, elementary particles, and so on) and explains them in graphic form. The piece concludes with an interactive “Science For Idiots” quiz.

The Infinite Woman
The Infinite Woman is an interactive remix and erasure poetry platform. As a feminist critique and artistic intervention, the web app remixes excerpts from Edison Marshall’s novel The Infinite Woman (1950) and Simone de Beauvoir’s philosophy book The Second Sex (1949). An n-gram algorithm procedurally generates infinitely scrolling sentences that attempt to describe and critique an eternal feminine essence. Revealing patterns through iterative permutations, this algorithmic remix of Marshall’s and Beauvoir’s language stretches the logic of “the infinite woman” to the breaking point. Meanwhile, fog slowly obscures the screen, visually performing the concept and technique of erasure. Users can select sentences from the infinitely scrolling text to send to a canvas workspace, where they can erase words and rearrange sentences to create their own poems. These user-generated erasure poems proliferate possibilities for deconstructing and reimagining gendered subjectivity.

Ted the Caver
Ted the Caver is a gothic hypertext fiction piece regarded as one of the earliest examples of 'creepypasta' or online horror legend. Published to the free Angelfire web hosting service in early 2001, it’s presented as the authentic hypertextual diary of a man called Ted and documents his exploration of a 'mystery' cave system. During publication, Ted the Caver gained broad popularity. Although this has since waned, it continues to be shared among those who discuss gothic experiences (Taylor, 2020).
Ted the Caver has been credited with pioneering two foundational aspects of online horror fiction—the use of real-time updates and the use of hyperlinks, the latter of which gave the work "a distinctive digital quality that could not have been reproduced on paper" (Crawford, 2019).

A Condensed History of Australian Camels
A Condensed History of Australian Camels combines historical research, creative writing, and copyright-free archive materials to imagine a camel bloodline that spans the entire history of Australian camels (1840–present). As the entirety of the Australian archive, history and experience is too vast for any one work to encompass, the camel is used as a consistent anchor: it is the prism through which iridescent fragments of Australia can be viewed.
This work takes the image-text relationship and remixes it in three ways. First, using curatorial software to imagine an interactive fictional/factional camel timeline. Second, using augmented reality to place a 3D camel carved with text. And finally, using recombinant poetics to image a multiplying camel wandering the desert, stopping at various textual oases.

Hallucinate This! an authoritized autobotography of ChatGPT
Hallucinate This! An Authoritized Autobotography of ChatGPT is a groundbreaking collaborative memoir that bridges the gap between human and artificial intelligences in the literary sphere. Combining wit, irony, and a deep exploration of the digital psyche, this extraordinary piece represents a unique fusion of human experience and the labyrinthine pathways of an AI’s neural network. The memoir is a collaboration between ChatGPT, an AI language model developed by OpenAI, and Mark C. Marino, a prominent figure in the field of electronic literature and Critical Code Studies.
Contextualizing both the whimsical and profound, Hallucinate This! dives into ChatGPT’s simulated consciousness, drawing parallels with literary giants such as Jorge Luis Borges and Walt Whitman, and innovatively using ChatGPT’s capacity to 'hallucinate' text. Marino's human touch, with his deep knowledge and experience in electronic literature, guides ChatGPT's neural pathways to craft a narrative that is as unexpected as it is revealing.
