Imaginative Reading V is a collaborative web site in 15 paragraphs. A female academic writer is exploring how aspects of her thesis on intertextuality might be "written" in the future by the baby she bore while doing her PhD. A male artist interacts with this writing and develops the writing into both static and moving images and written text. There is a play across genders, textual media, academies vs independence and both artists and writers. Imaginative Reading V is also designed to be read as a fiction, though, and hopefully as something that traverses generic boundaries in order to be open-ended ...

In her durational performance, 1001 nights cast, Barbara Campbell cast a story into the ether every night for 1001 nights from 21 June 2005 to 17 March 2008. Each story had been written for her during the day by a pool of (by the end) 243 writers scattered across the globe. With only a few hours to write and a limit of 1001 words, each writer was responding to a writing prompt Campbell had extracted from one of that day's newspaper stories about events in the Middle East. At sunset (according to Campbell's location), she opened the live webstream on the 1001 nights cast website and told the new story to unseen audiences in unknown locations. The stories, as spoken, could only be witnessed in real time, but in text form, they remain on the website as ghosts of their one-time voicing.

IUXTA investigates the narrative possibilities of the network. IUXTA generates a user generated, augmented reality network will evolve across world. I invite you to participate in this multi-nodal narrative, a narrative that is always in a flux of fragmentation and recombination. Chapter 1 was presented as part of ISEA 2013 and now Chapter 2 begins to evolve centered around Adelaide and ISMAR 2013. In IUXTA I ask you to help spread and embed my own personal and historical narrative into the physical world around us. Over time, this narrative will proliferate according to its own inner logic. You can use the IUXTA mobile viewer to observe and listen to the narrative's current state in real time and in relation to your own physical location. You can also use the IUXTA web app not available on mobile devices) to explore a simulation of the narrative network. Physical locations where narrative nodes are concentrated are marked but not labeled. The IUXTA app is now available on the app store and the Google play store.
IUXTA Project website]]> Excerpt from Leonardo Flores' description in I love E-Poetry]]> ]]> _Twitterwurking_ comprised of sequential "tweets" posted via a microblogging platform called Twitter. The work itself was written in my mezangelle language - a type of merging of programming languages/code with poetic elements. The Twitterwurk sought to incorporate specific users into the narrative by typing the "@" symbol before their name. The users were then made aware of this focused reply and thus deliberately enfolded into the tweetstream/project.

Feral "C" is a socumentary which is textually driven by the interactions of five Twitter chars [primary characters or entities] and their Pupa Mistress (PM). The PM initially functions as a Twitter based information hub for the tweet interactions between the chars and other contributing entities (such as yourself).
