FIGURES texts are constructed as a literary illustration of the Golden Number and the Fibonacci sequence. As a mathematical and aesthetic constant, the Golden Number is a "matrix" formal for determining the number of words and lines of texts and how they fit together one inside the other. FIGURES texts are therefore of Golden Rectangles where words are used as measurement unit horizontal and unit vertical measurement lines.
Les textes de FIGURES sont construits comme une illustration littéraire du Nombre d'Or et de la suite de Fibonacci. En tant que constante mathématique et esthétique, le Nombre d'Or constitue une « matrice » formelle qui permet de déterminer le nombre de mots et de lignes des textes ainsi que la façon dont ils s'imbriquent l'un dans l'autre. Les textes de FIGURES sont donc des Rectangles d'Or où les mots servent d'unité de mesure horizontale et les lignes d'unité de mesure verticale.

Recits voisins est le premier module mis en ligne sur oVosite. C'est aussi le plus complexe. Cet espace de lectures relie huit nouvelles autonomes en même temps qu'elles sont reliées entre elles par les destins croisés de personnages, associations poétiques ou élements naturels communs.
Cet espace a été écrit et conçu à douze mains, six corps et têtes, et repose sur près de quatre cent cinquante liens répartis dans mille deux cent fichiers. Plus simplement, il s'agit d'un hypertexte qui ne renie pas la linéarité narrative mais tisse des passages latéraux…

written in java this applet gets a lot of rss feeds (in the french zone) in real time and composes, in real time also and as a work in progress, with them visual poems; each of the results are exported to my local computer in order to finally get, at the end of the 2013 year, some kind of archive of the "news" by which we are invaded each day---- and that we very often forget the day after! - it 's a kind of work about our "media-collective-memory". The words are treated in relationship with frequency in the news: the biggest are the most frequents. But not allways the most importants...
Ecrit en java cet applet récupère en temps réel dans la zone française un ensemble de flux RSS liés à l'actualité politique et sociale A partir de ce matériau et en temps réel il en génère des "poèmes visuels"; chacun des résultats est en même temps téléchargé sous forme d'image sur un site local en sorte qu'une archive se constitue progressivement une archive des "nouvelles" par lesquelles nous sommes chaque jour submergés. Et que nous nous empressons d'oublier le lendemain...! C'est donc une sorte de travail à propos de la "mémoire des medias". Les mots sont traités en fonction de leur fréquence: la taille est proportionnelle à celle-ci. Bien qu'en vérité les mots les plus fréquents ne soient pas toujours les plus importants.
This event investigates how one reads a literary text in the digital environment. The presentation is presented in several parts, as follows. The poem is meant to extend the idea of poetic structure from a static/print environment to the structures of digital language. It means to move it forward, not dizzied by technical effects, but along a trajectory that thoughtfully moves structures into New Media environments.
1. A general introduction. Each part of the four-part digital poem, “Four Guillemets”, is composed in sections that vary in their content on a periodic basis, indeed during the actual reading of the text. The introduction asks participants to listen to the text and to fill out response pages. Ideas about what the text means, what lines are memorable, what the “larger” meanings of the text might be.
2. Four Guillemets (http://epc.buffalo.edu/authors/glazier/e-poetry/guillemets/) is performed. (The performance consists of expressive language, pacing, rhythm and the adaptability of the reader to the shifts in the text.) This reading brings literary language, executed through literary structures, into the digital realm.
2a. If the Digital Poetry & Dance option is desired. A performance with of digital poetry and dance will be presented. (This would require more of a stage-like setting, thus it is presented as an option to HASTAC. There are several possible digital poetry works performed for dance that can be presented. One of these will be presented. These move the concept of electronic language into interpretative modes on contemporary/modern dance, re-imagining the body presented against digital modes.
3. A brief talk will then be given couching the performative text in traditions of literary writing. This talk presents static poetic text that is dynamic in its poetic functioning. Works looked at include Robert Frost, H.D., Robert Duncan, and Robert Creeley, writers mostly identified with the avant-garde, and discusses how poetic strings as poetic variants can be seen as pioneering works for poems that use strings in code.

Speculation is an alternate reality game that explores the culture of Wall Street investment banks in the context of the 2008 global economic crisis. From cryptographic puzzles and online simulations to live performances and geocaching, Speculation incorporates a wide range of media to build a transmedia world in which the logic of capital has accelerated beyond control. In the process of discovering, decoding, reconfiguring, and remixing Speculation, thousands of players transformed the game into a collaborative platform for speculating on the future of finance capital.
