STG digitized the poem with the help of Patrick Yott of the
library's Center for Digital Initiatives, transcribed all
the phrases in the poem, and linked them to their page and
location. We used a database to contain all this
information, so that the spoken phrases could also be linked
in. The materials we generated have been used in the
multimedia dance piece that was performed by the Lostwax
dance group. We are in the process of constructing a
website, but the project is currently suspended.
Thalia Field's aleatory poem, REST/LESS is navigated
spatially by reading phrases placed along a grid on a page.
The poem contains 80 such pages and was handwritten. She wanted
to experiment with various different media formats for the poem.
Currently, it has been performed as a multimedia dance piece, and
be presented as a kiosk, an installation, as well as a website.
