New
Media Poetry and Poetics
by Tim Peterson
This gallery includes multimedia
digital works (image/text/sound) as examined
through the lens of "writing," specifically
any of those concerns central to poetry rather
than narrative or prose: reader as active
participant in the "ergodic" sense,
the use of stochastic methods and chance procedures,
and the complex relations between the author,
reader, and computer-as-writer/reader which
evolve from that interaction. Modes of work
that foreground the digital medium (such as
"codework") are also relevant to
this investigation. In the call for works, I emphasized the "poetics"
of new media writing, that is, the point where
aesthetics intersects with politics to create
dynamic attempts at social change.

The 'Locative media' curatorial project
aims to explore and consider the less-visible
forms in the map of locative media. Maps
are the representations of visible things,
gaps and invisible processes. Wolfgang Iser,
in considering the act of reading [3], said
no tale is told in its entirety and the
inevitable omissions are what give the story
its vitality. So what is being presented
in the documentation gaps and revealed in-between
the visible points? Our attempt is to present
a diverse spectrum of practices - from the
archaeological to the performative - considering
the gaps in geographical, material and cultural
(in)visibility. Works by younger artists
and even non-artists were selected along
with better-known actors in the field, situated
in a broader geographical axis outside Europe
and North America.

Multimedia
Performances
by Annette
Barbier and Marla Schweppe
In the modern
era, technology has made important contributions to, and it might be
said even partnered with, live performance. One of the most memorable
early innovators was Winsor McCay, better known as creator of the comic
strip Little Nemo and the animated dinosaur Gertie than for stage performance

Global
Crossings
by Dennis Summers and Choy Kok Kee
The artists in this showcase have addressed
the global concept with variety. It should
come as no surprise that several took a socio-political
approach. Three might be considered more of
a technological/(pseudo)scientific approach
and two a multi-cultural communications approach.
All consider what it means to be a global
citizen. Click here to view gallery. |

Glass
Bead Game
by Joshua Fost
A realization of writer Herman Hesse's "Glass
Bead Game". The piece associates small
images with ideas in ordinary prose developing
a new vocabulary of glyphs, which are later
"assembled in special ways, such that
their spatial arrangement asserts symbolic
relationships between the corresponding ideas."
