… an augmented-reality chapbook.
Like a digital pop-up book,
you hold the words in your hands.

“At this point in the history of electronic literature, the question is not how we can monetize it, in the sense of getting people to pay money for things, but rather how we can communitize it. We don’t need to build a market for electronic literature, but rather a culture that will support and sustain its development.”

Scott Rettberg. Communitizing Electronic Literature. Spring 2009. v3 n2. DHQ: Digital Humanities Quarterly

“A lot of poets are working audiovisually and yet they really get validated only once they start publishing books.”

“The impact of electronic technology on our lives is now the object of intense study, but what remains obscure is the role, if any, this technology has in shaping the ostensibly private language of poetry.” Marjori Perloff. 1994. p. 2-3

“Kontaktschmelze (contact fusion) is the first work using our concept of the ‘boolean camera’. To make use of 3d cg space in a uniquely digital way, space is not cut by a projection of a plane onto a 2d screen anymore: instead, we ‘look’ through the cutting shape of a 3d object to realise the shape of another.
It also employs a remix concept that could be called ‘database modeling’: no modeling has been done, all 3d objects have been downloaded from free resources on the web.”

Elsewhere : Anderswo – 2009: “… a site-specific sound installation across two sites. Visitors carry small GPS-equipped computers and wear headphones. Sounds play automatically in response to their movements in the landscape … they move through layer upon layer of responsive sound …”

“Literatronic is an artificial intelligence engine that designs a fiction book specific to every reader based on her/his interaction with the system. “

Mark Amerika: “The most successful writer-personas now and into the future -? at least those interested in “making a living” as you put it -? will be those who can take on varying flux personas via the act of writing.”

auto suggestion is a screen based, real-time visualization of the processing of a database of paintings. The work incorporates the full text of Baudelaire’s one surviving notebook “Journaux Intimes”1, 65 hi-resolution scans of paintings that I made during the decade 1989-1999 (at which point I stopped making paintings) …The system takes as its seed Baudelaires prose and runs it through text analysis in turn determining the selection of various areas of color and shape, then recombines them in infinite variations and iterations.”


“In the realm of digital poetics, the technological ability to dismiss identity is a direct articulation of class privilege.”

“As print takes its place alongside smoke signals, cuneiform, and hollering, there has emerged a new literary age, one in which writers no longer need to feel encumbered by the paper cuts, reading, and excessive use of words traditionally associated with the writing trade.” Robert Lanham
