Some Annoying Thing

When You Reach Kyoto

Collaboration with Australian artist geniwaite, for which I took the photographs and wrote the text. The title is inspired by a line from Brian Eno’s song “Burning Airlines Give You So Much More.” Geniwate has created several projects using this technique, which she calls Generative Poetry.

Fisheye TV (Dibagan)

Another collaboration with geniwate, using text and video that she supplied me. This piece, which involves audio, is also based on the Flash Polaroid idea, and is interactive. An earlier version of this piece, created as part of the Machine Poetics exhibition curated by Braxton Soderman, appears here. Visit Fisheye TV.

Dan Farrell’s The Inkblot Record & Christian Bök’s Eunoia

Rational Geomancy

An early experiment in Director with interactive text, based on a page of the book Rational Geomancy: The Kids of the Book-Machine, by bpNichol and Steve McCaffery.

HTML Experiments

Early on, I became obsessed with figuring out how to present print poetry in a digital setting, such that it didn’t merely reproduce the aesthetics of print (which I felt was impossible anyway).

One of the more elaborate experiments was with a set of poems by Andrea Brady called The White Wish, in which the poems are laid out on a huge, overly-Photoshopped table.

Other projects include selections from Spleen by Nicholas Moore, satiric translations of the same Baudelaire poem, and selections from Revolution of the Word by Abraham Lincoln Gillespie, an eccentric American modernist whose style anticipates Language poetry.

Winter Was Hard & A Car Drives to Rome
