Multiple languages

In the age of the so-called Big Data, a hype term these days, our daily lives are characterized by the lack of privacy and the rise of surveillance and control managed by certain hegemonic models of new media. In view of the fact that my strings of personal data are so valuable to Google and all third-party corporations tracking me, I decided to print out my web search history and call it literature. Collected Works is a hardcover book for a hardcore world.

Take Gonzo started as a Taroko Gorge remix, and is now the gateway in to an creative exploration through the electronic literature filed.

Take Gonzo includes a morse code which translates into an English sentence.

This poem is structured as a cloud consisting of language and sail-shaped figures. This complex set of objects contain the sentence “I love you,” “my love,” and “I will love you forever” in several languages, colors, and positions and responds with rotation along different axes depending upon the position of the pointer on the screen. The spherical shape of the rotation along with the translations of the sentence gesture towards its universality. If this were to be dedicated to someone, it delivers a message of a love that will express itself no matter where the pointer— the symbolic presence of the reader in the text— is moved to.
