1. The Big Plot

   This is a romantic-spy story rendered into the genre of Recombinant Fiction. Four characters told a fiction using dialogues shown on several media channels. The cloned identity of a real spy was used to portray a story about the political and sentimental weakness of our era characterised by a dysfunctional sociality being created by social media communications. Actions in public environments completed the set of stages upon which the story was acted and audiences had an active role by unfolding and creating other pieces of fiction. The drama deconstructed language and symbolism of ideologies by remixing characters' lives and identities with real-world patterns. The work has been exhibited as an installation and there is also a web version.

2. Massive Comprehension Machine

   Massive Comprehension Machine s an audiovisual device for simultaneous navigation in two semantic networks generated in real time facing a unique concept: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but addressed from two opposing views: the media that operates on one or other side of the border. Can semantic netwoks map thoughts? Can they disclose structures that reflect the way we see the world? This device allows the investigation between the subjectivity and imaginary of one and other, and also from the subjectivity of the visitor, dealing with the complexity of one of the greatest conflicts inherited from the 20th century. [It] is designed to require an active participation of the user to deepen the concept that he/she would like to explore. In this way, the user is involved in the conflict and can ask himself/ herself questions such as: What is important and what is not? Why the semantic network gives me this result? The keys to navigate in a semantic network with thousands of nodes are hierarchies. We can surf the net from more present concepts or of greater size, and zoom up towards words with less relevance.

3. Hard Data

   Hard Data is a data-mining, sonification, and visualization project by R. Luke DuBois that uses statistics from the American military actions in Iraq as source material for a series of audiovisual compositions. Using Xenakis' understanding of formalized music as a starting point, the composer uses a variety of statistical data ranging from the visceral (civilian deaths, geospatial renderings of military actions) to the mundane (fiscal year budgets for the war) to generate a series of abstract audiovisual compositions with short accompanying texts citing and explaining the information sources. The intention of the series is twofold: one, to recontextualize the formal stochastic music in the context of real-world statistics, and two, to provide a compositional and metaphoric framework for creating an electroacoustic music relevant and significant to our time. Presented as an online, open-source work, viewers are invited to download the data set and source material for the piece and create their own interpretations.

Flow est le texte d'une fiction construite à la fois sur des moments issus de mon histoire familiale, de l'actualité contemporaine en matière de politique de l'accueil des étrangers et de l'histoire qui nous est contée dans le film Lettre à mon ami Pol Cèbe, 1970, de Michel Desrois et avec Antoine Bonfanti et José Thiais, des groupes Medvedkines.

   Flow croise différentes époques et régimes narratifs : histoire familiale, histoire politique (les Groupes Medvedkine) et actualité contemporaine.

   Flow s'attache à conter une histoire, celle d'une bande d'amis ouvriers, qui un jour de 1967 partent en voiture pour Lille, projeter l'un de leurs films dans un cinéma. Ils prennent en autostop un homme avec une drôle d'auréole sur la tête, à leur demande, celui-ci leur raconte une histoire. Il leur conte celle de mamy Mireille de Sangatte qui en 2008 sera mise en examen pour délit de solidarité. Le texte met en scène le téléscopage de ces deux époques, l'une ravivant l'autre, à quarante ans d'intervalle...

9. Si son sólo libros

   Si sólo son libros by Marla Jacarilla, 2009, is a simple hypertext in which the author links 48 books by means of a screen that evokes an image, an illustration or a collage. A paragraph selected from the book completes the presentation. The list of volumes is dynamic and it moves around the screen and therefore, after a while, the access to a particular book is lost (Félix Rémirez, translated into English by Maya Zalbidea).
