Title: Assemblage: The Women's New Media Gallery

URL: http://tracearchive.ntu.ac.uk/traced/guertin/assemb_a-f.htm

Description: The first gallery of new media art to showcase an international collection of born-digital art and literature by women artists from around the globe. It includes links to author pages and more than 300 works of born-digital literature. In reference to Derrida, this page is an 'assemblage,' a multiplicity, a coming together of languages, skills, and visions, a collection of art texts, and an exhibit showing the act of fitting disparate pieces together under the umbrella of gender.

Title: Jason Nelson: Net Art/Digital Poetics

URL: http://www.secrettechnology.com/works/everything.htm

Collection: Electronic Literature: Individual Works

Description: A visual index, with a paragraph of description, of each of Jason Nelson's work. Scrolling from the bottom of the page to the top lets one view the artist's work chronologically from 2001 to the present, offering one potential trajectory for the field development as a whole, spanning hypertexts, short fictions, poems, haikus, games, all of which are computer generated and include image in combination with multimedia elements, code, text, and sound. Browsing the collection means witnessing the ways electronic literature involves readers and shows the potential for involving programming and multimedial devices and embedded text as in, for example the flash-based work titled, "this will be the end of you: play4: within within." Here, holding the mouse allows the user to move "into words" and to play with text as it emerges. Readers control the movement on the interface by holding or releasing the mouse and can thereby determine the mouse driven fly through of texts and images that float towards or away from the user. Or the work, "game, game, game and again game" which uses the a side scrolling gaming interface to navigate through a mix of poetics content and corresponding hand-drawn elements. This play, either literal or through interface serves as a metaphor of what Nelson wishes to transfer with the artwork: some scattered [imaginations, some] oddly organized fire of thoughts and incomplete ideas" or simply a comment on the internet and its nonlinearity and the new possibilities of digital poetics.
