Velvet
"Velvet" is an interactive artwork involving sound and image that is highly personal in nature and which immerses a user inside the mind and identity of the artist for the exploration of states of mind, dreams, and memory.

E:Electron
E:Electron is an extended structural analogy, using the periodic table of elements to muse on the life of a love affair and states of mind. Three pieces work together to create nuances of connections and relations. A poem hidden in the periodic table of elements leads to the stages of a relationship. Each element adds a new electron or word association, cumulating in a lifetime of memory. These connect to an intricate series of poems that fill each electron shell with musing.

hektor
hektor is one of the main characters in the non-aggressive narrative - a mode of Benjaminian storytelling. The NAN proposes the "continuation of a story which is just unfolding." I use digital and traditional media to create encounters between an ambiguous 'I' and potential 'You.' By embracing memory as a collage in motion through multiple characters, the NAN implies an origin story that may or may not have occurred. You are invited to co-invent this unfolding 'past,' and its openness suggests possibility and multiplicity. In a 1965 interview with Michael Kirby, John Cage said that theatre is not done to its viewers; they do it to themselves.

[raveling]
Mary Flanagan, State University of New York, Buffalo (USA)
"[raveling]"[raveling] is a poetry performance piece for machines and human about memory and communication which posits verbal communication and text as iterative rituals that can mutate and change over time, distance, and repetition.
Prior to the piece I produced a poem with my computer. This performance was a stream-of-consciousness spoken word event and was translated by the machine. My computer synthesized the words it recognized and I saved these words into a rough poem.
In performance I read this synthesized computer/human poem to the public and to computer #1. This first computer/performer will listen to the poem and after listening, read back the composition as it recognized aloud to the audience and to the second computer/performer. The second computer/performer will listen to the poem composed by the first computer and read back the poem it recognized aloud to the audience. Each computer and human has its own voice and vocal qualities including timbre, speed, etc. They work together to bring meaning to the piece.

In Search of Oldton
How does a town just disappear?
What does it feel like to be cut off from your roots in a digital age where people have so many tools for recording and documenting their lives?
How do those of us who grew up in a pre-digital age recover and maintain a sense of belonging that is becoming increasingly so hard to hold on to?
'In Search of Oldton' is an attempt to use other people's digital documentary in order to recapture and re-invent my own personal history.
Tim Wright will be touring the UK during 2004 in search of Oldton his lost place of birth - and uncovering along the way the possible causes of its demise and the subsequent loss of his past.
Working with groups and individuals Wright wants to build up a substantial online archive showing people taking their leave of a place or a person - a range of personal stories about saying goodbye and moving on.
Through texts, pictures, videos and oral testimony, he will build up a digital archive of fictional remembrances, tributes to numerous places and situations left behind.
And ultimately (he hopes!) his own digital story of memory and loss will emerge.

Mandelbrot.fr (private reading device)
The Mandel.brot Project (http://www.mandelbrot.fr, in French) has existed online since 1999. From the beginning, we dedicated our project to an experimentation with the aesthetics of the ephemeral and the flow; we thus refuse any archiving of the source files of our creations. The creations remain on the web for a few months. Then they are removed forever. And even when they are online, they permanently face extinction: the instability of the digital device is integrated as a fundamental aesthetic principle in all our works (see « Flux »: the movement of the words was supposed to be calm and relaxing; but on powerful computers, the flow is transformed into a wild torrent). Each creation on Mandel.brot thematizes this instability in a specific way.The Mandel.brot Project is a dialogue (we invite you to compare for example « Soleil Amer » and « Inexorable »), which sometimes becomes animated, and sometimes stops for a long time. None of the creations on Mandel.brot can be separated from their context: the website and the device, which remains deliberately unstable.

Le Livre des Morts
Appeler une œuvre de création contemporaine le Livre des Morts peut paraître une sérieuse gageure, ou une folie.
Pourtant, cette œuvre existe, sur le site www.livredesmorts.com , et il ne s’agit pas d’une adaptation de l’un ou l’autre des Livres des Morts connus.
De quoi s’agit-il alors ? Comment une telle œuvre est-elle née ?
Voici quelques points de repères.
Au départ de cette aventure, vers la fin de l’an 2000, il y a des échanges de points de vue par courriel entre Gérard Dalmon, designer vivant à New York, et Xavier Malbreil, écrivain vivant dans le sud de la France.
Le réseau Internet, d’après nos deux auteurs, pourrait par bien des côtés se comparer au monde des morts. Dans l’un comme dans l’autre, les catégories qui prévalent usuellement sont brouillées, les frontières entre vrai ou faux, tangible ou évanescent, homme ou femme, s’estompent. Ce que l’on tenait pour certain, à peine veut-on le toucher, s’enfuit comme une ombre fuligineuse.

I Am a Singer
Megan Heyward's interactive narrative, I Am a Singer, was created in 1997 with Macromedia Director for the artist's MFA thesis and was exhibited widely after its release. Concerned with memory and identity, I Am a Singer tells the fictional story of Isobel Jones, a famous rock singer who has been in an accident and is suffering amnesia. Although she is still able to access the media traces of her life- songs, articles, newspaper clippings, and various items of personal memorabilia, she cannot draw together these disparate threads into a meaningful sense of self. Structurally, I Am A Singer is a narrative built of fragments, of small, discrete but intersecting sequences, mirroring the fragmented consciousness of the singer. It operates on a number of levels – as a pure tale about an amnesiac singer trying to regain her memory, and as a broader exploration of identity and memory.
