3. Collected Fictions

   Jorge Luis Borges has been called the greatest Spanish-language writer of our century. Now for the first time in English, all of Borges' dazzling fictions are gathered into a single volume, brilliantly translated by Andrew Hurley. From his 1935 debut with The Universal History of Iniquity, through his immensely influential collections Ficciones and The Aleph, these enigmatic, elaborate, imaginative inventions display Borges' talent for turning fiction on its head by playing with form and genre and toying with language. Together these incomparable works comprise the perfect one-volume compendium for all those who have long loved Borges, and a superb introduction to the master's work for those who have yet to discover this singular genius.

5. Kaufhaus Inferno

   Kaufhaus Inferno is based on La Divina Comedia, written by Dante in 1314. It consists of and connects a newspaper comic (in De Morgen), an interactive website, a live performance, a book and an exposition.

   During the performance, Virgil (Gène Bervoets) takes us and Dante (impersonated by a Power PC G3) along on a hallucinating trip through the virtual reality of a shopping mall. A fast food restaurant, a disco, a fitness club full of worked out bodies... this enchanting consumer paradise turns out to be an infernal universe that has been carefully designed to seduce and deceive its visitors. Kaufhaus diagnoses a society that finds itself in a terminal condition; there is no final purge.

   The audience is invited to take a seat in a 'cave', surrounded by projection screens, in order to immerse into the insane Kaufhaus universe. The blend of text, projections and sound creates an impressive and sometimes even disturbing experience that confronts us with our own role of passive consumer.

7. Halo

   Halo is composed of four interactive video projections using very powerful high resolution video projectors and four computers with an infra-red remote visual sensing system for viewer interaction. On each screen is visible a number of figures. Each figure is individually interactive, with the audience and with each other. The piece uses object oriented and behavioural programming techniques.

   Each figure is individually interactive and the viewer is fully modelled within the interactive system. A gravity well forms around each viewer, attracting flying figures into their orbit. When the viewer approaches the screen the figures are 'pulled' down to earth, where instead of flying they walk in direct interaction with the viewer. A number of interactive texts using generative grammars, based on the textual works of William Blake, are visible on each screen.

10. Pietistentango

    Der Pietistentango (1997) ist ein gemeinsames Werk von Reinhard Döhl und Johannes Auer und ein klares Beispiel für ein animiertes visuelles Gedicht. Für dieses Projekt verwendeten die beiden ihnen bereits bekanntes Material. Das Werk zeigt aber deutlicher noch als das Buch Gertrud , dass die Umsetzung von älteren Texten und Projekten nie 1:1 vor sich ging, sondern das Material stets eine grundsätzliche neue Bearbeitung erfuhr. Der Pietistentango wurde zu einem Teil des TanGo Projekts (1997). Sein Ursprung war eine Mail-Art-Aktion , die anlässlich der Projektvorstellung im Dezember 1996 im Goethe Institut in Montevideo dokumentiert wurde. Die Karten von Döhl an Auer erhielten alle möglichen sinnvollen Buchstabenkombinationen des Wortes »Pietisten«: z. B. »ist, piste, pisten, stein, steine, niest, nest, pest, pein, pst, psi, sein, ein, nie, ei, niete«.
