  1. La Casa Sota el Temps

    Author description: La casa sota el temps ('the house under time') is designed and programmed to immerse the reader in a virtual space, that plays off of the structure of conventional narrative in order to create a reading experience that includes a multitude of interactive possibilities. The reader is the main protagonist of a multimedia journey that gives her the freedom to explore and also to build the fictional universe that she desires.

  2. Universo Molécula

    Author description: Written in Spanish, Universo molécula is a work that links the molecular structure of matter (made by two or three atoms united by a force of electrical origin called link), with the working of the literary language (and, more specifically, poetic language). This molecular universe is inhabited by some different textual typologies (images, sounds and words), and we can go through different kinds of navigation, reader immersion and interaction. It is a rich and complex poetic system that, like molecules, uses different forms of representation to adjust to various complexities: from the most simple to three-dimensional models.

  4. The Language of New Media

    In this influential book Manovich proposes five principles of new media: 1) Numerical representation: new media objects exist as data. 2) Modularity: the different elements of new media exist independently. 3) Automation: new media objects can be created and modified automatically. 4) Variability: new media objects exist in multiple versions. 5) Transcoding: The logic of the computer influences how we understand and represent ourselves. Another often cited point in the book is his discussion of database aesthetics and database narratives. Manovich's work is based in cinema studies and his book was especially rapidly taken up in media studies departments.
