1. _The_Tem(Cor)p(oral)_Body_

   The _The_Tem(Cor)p(oral)_Body_ Project involves a mash-up of scientific jargon + mezangelled variables to create a aggregated faux scientific manual involving the concept of Temporal_Body_Divorce" [or _TBD_]. This _TBD_ emphasizes exploitation possibilities involved in gradual geophysically/synthetic/space-time disconnections and will manifest in a set of codeworks created on the 01-03 November 2011 + then updated/modified live during the Remediating the Social Event [01-03 November 2012]. The core of the work is the performative act of present/future “time modification[s]” [or timemodding] of mezangelled snippets sent to the author/artist’s future self via the use of futureme.org.

2. Absurd in Public

   The Pictogram project is a commision for the Remediating the Social Conference, and creatively interprets the language of street signage to highlight how communities form spontaneous social codes. The ideal street sign has an unambiguous meaning based on a standard icon. Pictogram signs, on the other hand, depict curious mashups of icons and invite passersby to contribute their own explanation of what the signs represent. The physical pictogram sign consists of two panels, joined at the sides to reference the look of a bound book. One panel includes a Quick-Response (QR) code pointing to a Web site where users can type in their interpretation of the sign’s meaning. Once they have submitted their response, users may read what others have contributed. Throughout the conference, submitted responses may change as attendees are influenced by what others have written. The Pictogram has a real-world and digital-world existence, whose meaning is made and shared somewhere between the two worlds. Street signs manage public space. They tell people how to act: No Parking. They inform of distant places: Hospital 300m.

4. The Black Chamber

   The Cabinet Noir was the name given in France for the secret office where the post of suspected persons was opened and inspected before being forwarded to its final recipient. Governments since have used similar Black Chambers to spy on their populations communication via telegram, telephone and internet media. In order to avoid detection, some individuals have resorted to the technique of Steganography, where communications are hidden in seemingly innocent messages. This can lead to a state of paranoia where every text may contain evidence of nefarious intentions. This work takes the email exchange and data produced for the WEISE7 Labor exhibition and mixes it with the text of Edgar Allan Poe's detective story The Purloined Letter. The result is a paranoid archive of implied subtext.

5. Notes on the Voyage of Owl and Girl

   Notes on the Voyage of Owl and Girl is a work of digital fiction. Any resemblance to actual events, persons, places or texts is entirely intentional. Details from many a high sea story have been netted by this net-worked work. The combinatorial powers of computer-generated narrative conflate and confabulate characters, facts, and forms of narrative accounts of sea voyages into the unknown North undertaken over the past 2340 years. At the furthest edge of this assemblage floats the fantastical classical island of Ultima Thule and the strange phenomenon known to the Romans as sea lung. Sprung from Edward Leer’s Victorian nonsense poem, a lazy and somewhat laconic owl and a girl most serious, most adventurous, most determined, have set sail toward this strange sea in a boat of pea-, bottle-, lima-bean- or similar shade of green.

6. C()n Du It

   C()n Du It is a volume of poetic audio-videoclips, presenting the most important phenomena of visual culture and asking questions about a man’s place in the online sphere and about identity in the era of avatars. Intense, expressive and ironic pictures, show in an epigrammatic form our daily internet ‘rituals’, like clicking, posting, chatting. References to animation, film, advertisement or video games create dynamic, expansive clips. No ‘dry bones’, using a metaphor from ‘logical poem’, but a truly ‘fleshy’ poetry, precise and firm. The style of the whole volume may be described as a ‘post-Atari’, with green color reminding of system commands and simple font expressing nostalgia for the uncomplicated, 8-bit world. The spectator is forced to simultaneously cope with the picture and sound and experiences a true stereophonic reality. In so uncertain 20th century a man is a constantly reborn avatar, a pixel or just a printed circuit on the motherboard of society.

7. Last Words

   The complete title for this multimedia poem is “Last Words (Ordinary People Speak at the Moment of Death / In or Around the New York City Area)” and it is both descriptive of the poem’s theme and suggestive of a key strategy. Organized around eight characters’ final words and the contexts in which those words were uttered, each one is represented by a brief “slice of death” narrative, and a poetic voice from beyond that provides an ironic counterpoint, full of Bigelow’s characteristic darkly understated humor.

8. How It Is in Common Tongues

   How It Is in Common Tongues was composed by searching for the text of Samuel Beckett’s How It Is using a universally accessible search engine, attempting to find, in sequence, the longest common phrases from How It Is that were composed by writers or writing machines other than Beckett. These phrases are quoted from a portion of the commons of language that happens to have been indexed by a universally accessible engine.
