abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz is a sound toy, a performance tool and an art work in its own right. You can play with the letter-creatures and watch and listen how they interact with each other or use [...]

I’ve been working on a new Javascript app to display images on the net. If you’ve seen any of the previous dbCinema slideshows, you may recall they didn’t have fade in/out of the images. I was finally motivated to make that sort of app. The motivation was not for the dbCinema images, but for some [...]

There are 26 Flash pieces in Lines and Curves; one for each letter [...]

For my first netpoetic project, I will address certain aspects of data-driven poetic work. Rather than attempt an exhaustive approach that considers the different ways in which electronic writers inhabit networks cannibalizing, channelling, and remixing data sources, I will take a localized approach, writing largely from my creative practice over the last few years and through some recent/current projects. I do this, on the one hand, because it is simply what I know at the moment and perhaps may stimulate ideas or conversation (for others and myself as I catalog and move forward). I also attempt this out of the feeling that practice-based dialogue is an under-engaged element in the discourse of e-lit (but one beginning to unfold here at netpoetic).

Here is the author’s description:
“The Longest Poem in the World is composed by aggregating real-time public twitter updates and selecting those that rhyme. It is constantly growing at ~4000 verses / day. You can see more verses by clicking the three dots at the bottom (• • •) Made by Andrei Gheorghe.”
It’s interesting to read [...]
