The Bible Went Down With The Birdie Jean: an elegy
This is a serial project in which Potts's own reporting, photography, and memory cast a parting look at his past life, growing up as the gay grandson of televangelist Oral Roberts: between September & January 2016, every other Sunday in 33-post "books," Potts posted a 300-post Instagram account of this story — 9 books of 33 Instagrams each .
In Potts's words, his own originary story is tied to the rise of his grandfather Oral Roberts as the famed televangelist and charismatic Christian preacher: "At twelve, my grandfather climbed into his Prayer Tower and said he’d die if he didn’t get $8 million; I was a gay kid living on a Pentecostal compound with an autographed photo of Ronald Reagan on my desk. At eighteen I left most of that behind, rarely looking back."
Potts's story is a compelling, wonderful, and moving mix of comedy and tragedy, documenting the fragile beginnings of a life marked by abuse that nonetheless reveals hope and beauty as Potts moves on from the past.

MiddleEnglishLem
Lack of lemmatization often undermines the quality of concordances, which is especially relevant for diachronic corpora. A significant part of lemmatizers are designed for Modern English. This paper presents MiddleEnglishLem, an application designed for dictionary-based lemmatization of Middle English texts. We use a hybrid algorithm to lemmatize the Helsinki Corpus of English Texts, a long-time-span diachronic corpus that includes Middle English texts of different genres, a total of 608 570 words. MiddleEnglishLem is capable of associating multiple inflected forms and orthographic varieties with canonical forms. Lemmatization becomes more accurate owing to comprehensive premade dictionaries. The competitiveness of this lemmatizer is proved by the low average errors – less than 2.5 percent, whereas its prebuilt stemmer has a strength of 0.38, a relatively high value. Accuracy of the lemmatization process can be improved by implementing syntagmatic analysis at the part-of-speech identification step. MiddleEnglishLem can be applied to diachronic corpora in order to research the development of English.

Spot
Not quite a book, not quite an app, Spot is a visual adventure. Pinch-and-zoom through the spot on the back of a ladybug to begin exploring the five fantastical worlds. Continue to pinch-and-zoom through glowing hotspots to dive deeper into five interconnected worlds. You sit in the driver’s seat of this storytelling experience: one filled with interesting characters and beautifully illustrated settings, ready to be part of your story.

Flewn
“Flewn” is a melancholic and surrealistic story in book app format about an old whale walking on stilts through a desert in search of a lost ocean, carrying on its back jars with sea creatures it has rescued. Beautifully executed, “Flewn” offers two reading modes: the story mode, in which the reader explores the whale’s story by scrolling through the illustrations, accompanied with music, animation, video, and text; and the game mode, which offers an interactive exploration of the story space from the perspective of a little frog whose helicopter must be kept on air by pedalling and in this way help to spot the ocean everybody is looking for.

DO IT
DO IT is an interactive app. of Electronic Literature for smartphones and tablets (both for Android and iOS). DO IT offers four interactive experiences: adapt, rock, light up and forget. Each scene comes as an answer to contemporary injunctions: being flexible, dynamic, finding one’s way, forgetting in order to move forward… You will have to shake words - more or less strongly - in the Rock scene, or to use the gyroscope in the Light up scene. These four scenes are integrated into an interactive narrative (Story). They can also be experienced independently (Scenes).

A Brief History of Loss
A Brief History of Loss is a heavily mediated performative lecture that is not only an extension of deep repetition and radical sameness, but a form of (non)reading put at odds with itself. How might these differences of reading information and meaning not be reduced, but contradicted? How might a text engage the form of the page and document as a space that provides platforms for close readings as well as keeping those readings at a distance, not something to read insofar as something to be looked at and thought about. Best situated within the “Translation” strand, ABHoL aims to expose and conflate mediatic and literary reading/writing practices with an unstoppable real time. The performance itself is a translation and shifting between codes, both textual and computational. Framed as an investigation into personal mediatic histories, ABHoL aims to conflate and contradict photographic images, as objects framed to be narrated, with corresponding narration that calls on the document as a performative object and artifact.

Rules that Order the Reading of Clouds
[Screening] Rules that order the reading of clouds’, 2016 is a screen-based work that explores the process of constructing meaning using line. According to Laurent Jenny, the intention of the artist/writer Henri Michaux’s early graphic work was ‘to reconcile writing and drawing, which after all are both attributes of the same line.’ In this new work, the medium for Sally Morfill’s and Ana Čavić’s dialogue is the nomadic line that traverses visual and literary fields as it moves between drawing and poetry. Our starting point is a single digitised sketch selected from a series of quickly executed line drawings of a landscape with clouds. The image is gradually deconstructed and recomposed as a poem, then in turn, the poem is deconstructed and reconfigured as a drawing, emulating the movements of clouds. We set in motion a call and response between drawing and writing, as each new configuration of lines, conjuring new meanings, emphasisesthe fluidity of communication.

Autopia
Autopia is a simple text generator that presents language as if it were endless traffic. The headline-style sentences that are produced are made entirely of the names of cars — no other lexemes are used. While the Web version uses a JavaScript port of espeak to do text-to-speech synthesis, it is not necessary to present the work in a gallery setting with sound.
Autopia is available as free software. It is also published in print form, as a book, by Troll Thread, a New York press. It has been exhibited in galleries.
