The Tunnel People project is a work originally created for the exhibition "Metropolis", which was developed in two platforms. On the one hand the hypertext is a story of multiple paths presenting the fiction of mysterious inhabitants living in the underground. On the other hand there were a series of performances played by three actors, two men and one woman inside of trains traveling from North to South in Brussels subway. The actions and dialogues written by Dora García and performed by the actors try to awaken on the user the need to decide if the situation created by the performances can be accepted as real or if he/she has been trapped in a representation which aim is unknown. The questions that this project wants to suggest are: What is the limit of the accepted behaviourby the audience? How a strange situation can be felt as familiar? When does a conversation becomes absurd? Is it true that thruth is under the earth?

Dream Blog is a personal diary. In fact, it isn’t really a diary if by “diary” we refer to the events that take place during the day time. It is better to call it a “nightry” as it registers what happened in my dreams during the nights of 2007 and 2008. Being a "nightry" it is written with white ink.

Bilingual CD-Rom (French/ English) for Macintosh and Windows by Karen O'Rourke Paris Network assembles photographs, sound samples, animations and texts to form a composite, layered image of the city, where the traces of places are confronted with the memories of people who have known them. It opens with a view of a map. As you move closer, you begin to lose your bearings. In each zone, you explore the city differently. Four entrances, four ways of looking, four structural devices. You will always have, even as you move around, a fragmentary view, evoking a vast, more complete "hors-champ", which always seems out of reach. You enter as if you were breaking in. Each of the four parts has its own system of navigation. 1. Six Itineraries. 2. Jogging in the Roquette Square. 3. A Voyage Around my Courtyard. 4. Erasing a Billboard. In one, the focus is more on visual perception, in another, you are asked to imagine people and things you don't see, the third allows you to explore and the fourth to tinker with the images on the screen. A fifth zone, accessible from within the others, is both navigational tool and urban perspective.

Online work first published in 2008. Main theme: nature. As the work is loading, a quote appears: "It's not safe out here. It's wondrous." The fog shifts to reveal a lone tree, a flock of birds scatter. A deep drone is sounding. When attempting to click on the birds different texts are activated. When managing to "catch" one of the birds, one of the previously dimmed texts will appear.
