A series of 10 cinépoèmes that experiment with AI to probe a new kind of language-driven cinema art. The work was improvised in human-machine symbiosis.
An interactive and recombinant work, employing moving images, text and sound. When the creaturely loses touch with the wild.
An interactive and recombinant work, employing moving images, text and sound. An allegory of the flux amplified by networked life.
Nine "tales" that explore the effects of digital automation on embodied experience.
A recombinant digital novel that employs text, video and sound. It poses questions about the acts of reading and writing fiction, and inhabits the liminal space between the two activities.
With each swipe, a unique constellation of textual blocks and fragments populate the screen. Mark Amerika's text in a work inspired by Mallarmé’s "Un Coup de Dés Jamais N'Abolira Le Hasard".
A recombinant fiction that programmatically weaves sequential narration with semi-random selections of text and image. A remix of serial spy films and tv shows, the narrative depicts a gamified world in which identity and agency are lost to endless novelty.
A recombinant, interactive work about human trafficking. Static and moving, variable and sequential, the piece presents programmed text, image and music fragments to evoke the subjective experience of enslavement in motion.
A recombinant and interactive work. Lists, blog entries, mobile photos, and draft sketches of stories mark a space between abundance and loss, novelty and familiarity, integration and dispersion.
A scroll-animation as cinépoème. A reflection on loops, stasis and the receding present.
A six-minute video loop with generative haiku. A "digital journal" of traveling Japan on the Tokaido train line (Kyoto-Tokyo).
Hypnagogia is a state between wakefulness and sleep, in which dream-like impressions may cross the mind. A collage of sound and image in a palindrome.
A semiotic surface, a skin of image and text on the body of sound. Constructed out of collaborative, indeterminate and remix processes, layers and juxtapositions of disparate media in semiotic decomposition.
Mark Amerika's art and writing practice is for me an invention, a philosophy, a tease, a manifesto and a nudge to remix life's semiotic debris. This is a video to accompany Amerika's Remixthebook project.
"Obstacles become playgrounds, playgrounds obstacles." An electronic voice comments on a pedestrian's comic and poetic encounters with the city. A series of nine video tryptics with voice.
Urban drift collage. Audio from (legally) remixed tracks of Eno and Byrne's "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts."
