3. The Dazzle as Question

   The Dazzle as Question is an animated hypermedia poem which traces the conflict between the left and right brain inclinations of an erstwhile 'old school' artist [as] experienced via his encounter with the digital realm. This conflict notes the[digital] media/um's seemingly unrivaled sway as pitted against the narrator's right brain predilections [heralds of an identity within which he was formerly ensconced, as if such were an ethic of his very being …].

4. Turning Away

   Taglined "a revolving haiku", this poem displays a three line haiku on the screen. After a few moments, a line is replaced by a new line, until the whole haiku slowly has shifted to a completely new poem.

5. Ask Me for the Moon: Working Nights in Waikiki

   Brief poem presented as text slowly moving on the screen, accompanied by a white skyline of Waikiki on a black screen. Later, moon-blue images of hotel signs invite clicks that bring forth further reflections on the nighttime work of those who tend the tourists.

   Editorial statement from Electronic Literature Collection:

   John David Zuern’s Ask Me For the Moon is a digital poem created in Adobe Flash using juxtaposed images, words, and sounds, to create the feeling of the labor behind the scenes at a Hawaii resort.

   The images and colors (black, white, and turquoise dominate) paint a picture of Waikiki that is emphasized in Zuern’s notes on the piece, which observe that at the time the piece was made there was approximately one worker for every two and a half visitors to Waikiki. The text of the piece plays over the faded gray landscape of the island, while the moving pictures depict fragments of labor moving through like waves along the shore.

   The visual poetics serve as a poignant reminder of how much work is done at night, out of sight of the tourists who swarm the island.

7. Literary Hypertext: The Passing of the Golden Age

   29 October 1999 Keynote Address, Digital Arts and Culture Atlanta, Georgia (This speech was also published in Feed in 2000.) Coover's DAC Keynote address discussed the transition from the "golden age" of narrative-driven, text-dominated hypertext fiction, mainly produced in Storyspace, to an era dominated by the practices and attention spans of the World Wide Web, and a new focus on the image.

8. Tokyo Garage

   A poetry generator for the imaginary city. Tokyo Garage is a remix of Nick Montfort's "Taroko Gorge" -- a nature poem generator built in javascript. Rettberg modified the code and substituted all of the language of Montfort's work to create this poetry generator, which plays with received stereotypes of the Tokyo metropolis and of urbanity in general. A machinimatic reading was prepared for the DAC 2009 conference, including a clown reading the poem to an imaginary audience.

9. The ppg256 Series of Minimal Poetry Generators

   I discuss the four Perl poetry generators I have developed in the ppg256 series. My discussion of each program begins with the entire 256 characters of code and continues with an explication of this code, a description of aspects of my development process, and a discussion of how my thinking about computation and poetry developed during that process. In writing these programs, I came to understand more about the importance of framing to the reception of texts as poems, about how computational poetic concepts of part of speech might differ from established linguistic ones, about morphological and syntactical variability, and about how to usefully think about possible texts as being drawn from a probability distribution.

10. Et null nynner

    Dette "cut up" diktet fortelles sakte, sakte i små hvite bokstaver på svart skjerm. Morten Skogly skriver selv at det er et "cut up" av dikt skrevet av ham, som "skriver seg selv (for den tålmodige)." Nesten som en skjermsparer kommer frasene fram, og skaper sammenhenger på skjermen som til tross for den tilfeldige sammensetningen nesten alltid gir mening. En stemme går igjen, en stemme som er engstelig: "Ikke forlat meg her", skriver den. Et null nynner er et eksempel på generativ poesi.
