Truck :: n. a self-propelled vehicle for carrying goods is a blog exhibiting a cornucopia of digital art, e-lit, net art, animations, writing and poetry by a wide range of artists and writers. A few weeks ago Erik Rzepka, Truck’s curator for the month of December, invited me to contribute something. So I created soma suture, which I remixed from Turning Away Toward + rawVamp + some texts from various posts at Truck in December. As a remix, soma suture also appears at R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX (a little differently).
Today is New Year’s Eve so soma suture is obviously my last remix of 2012 but it may also be the last remix I create in Flash. I love working in Flash but I’d like to create e-lit for all kinds of screens and devices, including mobile. So… Do I feel a New Year’s Resolution coming on?… WTF!… Yes… I resolve to make future remixes in JavaScript and HTML5 in 2013!
Happy New Year!
Scenic trail of remixes
A crissxross trail < R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX
one remix player’s scenic route through remixworx
A new work! It’s a kind of meta-remix of my personal creative journey through remixworx, our collaborative online remixing project. Conceived as a poetic interactive infographic with lots of multimedia animated content, this ‘scenic route‘ presents a sample trail of 33 out of the 100 remixes I’ve created since joining the remixworx group blog in January 2007. The trail includes a text commentary about my experience of remixing and co-creating over the past six years.
This particular crissxross remix trail formed the core of my presentation for the ELMCIP conference on Remediating the Social in Edinburgh, on 2 November 2012. Remixworx founder, Randy Adams, also presented at the conference, remotely from Canada. He gave an overview of the project and showed a couple of remixes (bookish version 1.3 and Notes Noir) before giving a live online VJ performance of the Visual Poetry Generator 0.1, accompanied by a spoken word and music soundtrack. Below is a sample screenshot from VPG 0.1.

Chris Joseph, another prolific remixer who has been in it from the start, couldn’t make the conference but he contributed to our section in the Remediating the Social catalogue (free download).
Remixworx at Remediating the Social

ELMCIP Conference, Edinburgh, 1-3 November 2012
The final conference of the three year ELMCIP (Electronic Literature as a Model of Creativity and Innovation in Practice) research project was a splendid event. It combined academic papers and artists’ presentations with an exhibition and performance programme, and the launch of the ELMCIP Anthology of European Literature, which includes my work, Underbelly.
The whole conference is thoroughly documented in the ELMCIP Electronic Literature Knowledge Base and on ELMCIP’s bambuser broadcast video channel. Here’s some documentation of the contribution that my co-remixer, Randy Adams, and I made to the conference.

Remediating in print
There’s also a beautifully produced Remediating the Social catalogue in print which is also available as an ebook to download (free).
