Oracle
Oracle is a voice recognition and interpretive grammar based interactive performance artwork. The performer's speech, a series of questions posed by the audience, is acquired and presented in a digital projection. The computer system reads the acquired and collective texts, as they are layered upon one another, and generates answers to each question using a word from each of the prior questions.

Utter
"Utter is a new interactive performance work that employs computer speech recognition, motion sensing and digital memory to create an adaptive linguistic palimpsest. The system records speech and the location, movement and orientation of the speaker, using this data to create a dynamic display of texts that can interact with one another" (author-submitted abstract). Older utterances appear darker, smaller and further away whilst recent utterances appear larger, brighter and closer. The actions of the speaker determine the behaviour of the texts. Recorded utterances can recombine with one another, employing structural grammars to create new texts. Grammatical elements can migrate through the emergent 3D ecology of texts and thus through time. Utter engages the performative through the transformative power of language and suggests a system of Chinese-whispers constituted as textual recombinance and migration" (author-submitted abstract).

Ingenstans
"Ingenstans (meaning "nowhere" in Swedish) is a video project about living between languages, trading American city life for village life in Sweden, or somewhere, nowhere. As a whole, the film could be taken as a (quasi-)ethnographic film, combining elements of documentary film with narrative film, spurious accounts of cultural icons, and reenactments of actual events. INGENSTANS was shot in Karlskrona Sweden, Copenhagen, Paris, Amsterdam, and California. The video is in English and Swedish with fleeting moments in Bulgarian, Italian, French, and Chinese. (running time 20 minutes)" (http://talanmemmott.com/video.html).

Golpe de Gracia
Golpe de gracia is an interactive multimedia piece that combines text, illustration, audio, modeling, and animation and tells the story of a character who undergoes a "near death" experience; this particular situation also functions as a metaphor for the cultural transitions of the present moment. The text is comprised of three "narrative worlds": Cadáver exquisito, L'nea mortal and Muerte digital (Exquisite Corpse, Mortal Line, and Digital Death, respectively) and four "deepening rooms" (games, reading texts, study, and construction). The work offers several different degrees of interaction that range from taking decisions in order to follow the routes, all the way up to the collective construction of the text, along the way participating in several interactive games. Golpe de gracia also has an educative and communicative purpose, which is to make us aware of, and to contribute to, the development of collective knowledge.

ABC LA: Portrait d'une ville en 26 lettres
“THE ABC: portrait of a city in 26 letters offers a reading in Los Angeles over the alphabet, an attempt to find coherence in what appears not to have to give shape to what is often perceived as amorphous. Beyond the clichés this portrait reveals textual and audio aspects of the city hidden behind her image hypermédiatisée”

Suicide in an Airplane
Suicide in an Airplane is a flash-based algorithmic poem/painting in black and white. Poet Brian Kim Stefans, using text derived from pages of The New York Times, has created a work in which terms associated with a hijacking incident randomly appear on the screen. The words, which have the appearance of pencil doodling, break into separate letters and chaotically bounce around the screen, sometimes disintegrating on impact with other text, other times moving about in what seems to be a floating anagram. Accompanied by tone cluster piano chords in a composition by Leo Ornstein, the text seems to pulse with the music. At times, letters fly into objects constructed of other text and explode in sync with music that mimics the scream of jet engines.

El jardín de los relatos inacabados
El jardín de los relatos inacabados (The Garden of Unfinished Stories) by Félix Remírez is a digital work in which the reader explores a simulation of the scenery of a garden to discover ten beginnings of stories that, eventually give him/her an idea to continue a longer narrative. The fragments of stories are like creative seeds. The texts are not obvious to find and they oblige the reader to surround the whole garden.

Garaż w Tokio
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.
