States that new media poetry integrates characteristics of the new media in the theoretical basis of its poetics. Outlines its basis and shows how it affects poetic and verbal conventions, particularly with respect to the constitution of texts and the roles of author and reader, and with regard to its implications for views on language.

An interactive, collaborative installation born by inspiration from the opening day of the Norske Hus artists house in Sophienholm, Denmark.
Installationen Kig forbi tog udgangspunkt i Norske Hus ved Sophienholm, som i forrige århundrede var et litterært mødested for romantiske digtere som Baggesen, Oehlenschläger, Heiberg og Ingemann. 1996-99 var nøglen i forfatteren og Afsnit P-initiativtageren Christian Yde Frostholms varetægt. Med Kig forbi besvarer han kunstværket og tildelingen af nøglen ved i samarbejde med fotografen Frank Sebastian Hansen at udstille en række portrætter af forbipasserende nysgerrige, taget ud gennem vinduerne i “digterens ensomme bolig”. På internettet ledsages billederne fra installationen bl.a. af tekster af forfatterne Pia Juul og Jeppe Brixvold. Alle interesserede blev indbudt til at kigge forbi på åbningsdagen og overskride tærsklen til det ellers aflukkede hus.
"Golden Lion" is an internal-acrostic (mesostic) hologogram between the texts "Han-Shan in Indra's Net" (Fanzang) and "An Essay on the Golden Lion" (Cayley). The algorithm at work takes each letter from "Han-Shan", finds a word from "Golden Lion" containing that letter, and displays that word. The algorithm prefers collocation within "Golden Lion" - if possible, it will maintain series of words from "Golden Lion".

Author description: a show of hands presents the story of the sisters de la Palma as their lives draw them into the Immigration Reform marches of 2006 in Los Angeles. Out of those spontaneous political demonstrations comes a tale of a Mexican American family wrestling with love, loss, and the possibilities of political engagement. a show of hands is an evolution of the long-form hypertext genre that began with Michael Joyce's afternoon: a story. The Literatronica storytelling engine that hosts the story answers several of the "grand challenges" of literary hypertext, namely the prevalence of dead branches on the forking tree and the inability for readers to locate themselves within the content of the story. In contrast, Literatronica adapts around the reader's choices, rearranging the content so the reader will always encounter all of the text in an order optimized for narrative coherence.
