Note about the piece by Jason Nelson:
A line, an artificial circle ringing the global
map, creates an alarmingly resonant division between the two halves of the
world. To the
south
we are
distant and other, lesser and undeveloped, we are the wild and widely branded
pioneer, the known and unknown hemisphere. This digital poem is a compass
to these bottom lands, a winding journey into the artificial side of opposite.

The constraint of linearity, of the static following from word to word, limits
poetry. Each line could extend into layers and branches, the near infinite
combinations of movement and flying. Using the form of a Rubik's cube, this
digital poem allows the user to generate their own poetry collages, mishaps
and connections.

Brief Biography of Jason Nelson:
Born from the computerless land of farmers and spring
thunderstorms, Jason somehow stumbled into creating awkward and wondrous
digital poems and interactive stories of odd lives. Currently he teaches Net
Art and
Electronic Literature at Griffith University in the Gold Coast's contradictory
lands. Aside from coaxing his students into breaking, playing and morphing
their creativity with all manner of technologies, he exhibits
widely in galleries and journals, with work featured around globe in New
York, Mexico, Taiwan, Spain, Singapore and Brazil, at FILE, ACM, LEA, ISEA,
ACM,
ELO and dozens of other acronyms. But in the web based realm where his work
resides, Jason is most proud of the millions of visitors his artwork/digital
writing attracts each year.
