The Electronic Literature Directory
database of listings for electronic works, their authors, and their publishers.
The descriptive entries cover poetry, fiction, drama, and nonfiction that make
significant use of electronic techniques or enhancements.
The ELD provides easy access to one of the most exciting and fastest-growing
bodies of cutting-edge literature. Among the new forms of writing represented
here are hypertexts and other interactive pieces, animated poems, multimedia
works, generated texts, and works that allow reader collaboration. ELD users can
also enjoy the enhancements that the new technology brings to traditional
literature, such as streaming audio readings of poetry.
This is a watering hole for new media poetry and fiction -- indigenously electronic work that couldn't be realized in print. Hypertext is the mainstay here, but we also deal in more exotic forms of cybertext, which exploit such innovations as text-generating algorithms or animated text that moves and mutates on the screen. Welcome to the world of hypertextual, interactive, self-generating, kinetic, and multimedia poetry and fiction.

Help Wanted - multiple characters played by one actor
poem in a foreign language -- Arabic 1 | Arabic 2 -- listen to the rhythms and rhymes and to the differences between the two, both in the same language -- compare them as performances: setting, costuming, music, actors, characters (actors' roles).
Bjork's Pagan Poetry -- note the heavy video filters and camera close-ups: one costume, one backdrop, one lighting set-up, one fan to blow air. A very low-budget, low-tech production, and very effective. Often, the budget/resource constraints cause interesting results.

Rendevous -- get some
friends to do some costumes and silent acting while you hold the camera. Note
the conscious attempt for the make-up and costuming to be not quite realistic.

Where Music Will Be Coming From
by Kevin Kelly
Appeared in New York Times Magazine, March 17, 2002
Creating music is hard work. Creating music that is widely
appreciated and constantly in demand is harder still. It may seem ludicrous to
suggest to a working musician that in this new online world, music is becoming a
commodity that is traded, cocreated and coproduced by a networked audience. How
can an unskilled population create something that will be appreciated by many?
The partial answer is that most of us won't. It will still be a rare person who
can write and play music that everyone swoons over. Those hit musicians will
have their own economics. But most music, like most photography, needn't appeal
to everyone. Most photographs taken in the world are taken by amateurs, and the
images are of interest only to themselves or their families. Music does not have
to be widely popular to be desired.

Mercora's mission is to catalog and organize the world's
music and make it universally searchable and legally listenable. Quite simply:
Mercora has built the world's largest and legal music radio network composed
almost entirely of music resident on people's computers. Our strategy is to:
* Create the world's largest music catalog by leveraging peer-to-peer
technologies and user contributed content.
* Unleash the music by building technologies that make this content available to
anyone on the network in the form of CD-quality broadcasts.
* Delight the listener by providing great search, discovery, personalization and
community services.
* Uphold the letter and spirit of the copyright law by building compliance and
reporting into our products and services and paying performance royalties to
organizations that represent songwriters and music record labels.
At letstalkmusic.com we believe that around the world there
are thousands of musicians, songwriters and producers who are extremely talented
but for one reason or another do not get the exposure they or the music deserve.
At letstalkmusic.com we believe that because of that, there are millions of
people who are not enjoying some great music because they simply never get to
hear it.
At letstalkmusic we believe that the advent of the internet has changed
everything. We believe that with the right vehicle people who make music can now
get it heard by a much larger audience. We believe that people can get it heard
by an audience who can make a difference.
At letstalkmusic we plan to be that vehicle.

After Google bought YouTube in fall 2006, they made it more difficult to get the videos in a form where you could mix and mash them.
You can get the first minute of a video from any of the sites below by using Neoretix's Tube Hunter. If you pay $19.95, you can download all of as many videos as you want to. TubeHunter gives you a choice of formats (such as MPEG, AVI, DivX, iPOD MP4, MOV, Flash SWF, Sony PSP, MP3, WAV, OGG, 3GP and 3G2) that you can then mix and mash.
YouTube, MySpace, Photobucket, Metacafe, Dailymotion, iFilm, Flurl, Bebo, Break, VSocial, Grouper, TopFreeMusicDownloads, Bolt, Yikers, Revver, Guba, Vidilife and Blip.tv.
At Metacafe, you can get video in .wmv format. First, download their player, Metacafe Pro 1.1. After installing it, use it to download the video you want. Then right-click on the video's thumbnail and choose Save video file as ... Put it into your project folder. It will be a .wmv file that you can import into Movie Maker.

The Intergalactic Mashup King
by John Pavlus
Wired, July 2006
Werner Herzog’s new film, The Wild Blue Yonder, is the
world’s first undersea outer-space sci-fi documentary. ...
The result isn’t quite documentary, isn’t quite fiction – call it a cine-mashup.
...
He doesn’t recall exactly what inspired him to stitch the underwater footage
together with NASA’s material, but something clicked. “I saw a film very clearly
in front of me,” Herzog says. In his reimagining, the shuttle astronauts are no
longer deploying a probe – they’re embarking on a one-way mission to a planet in
the distant Andromeda galaxy. And Kaiser’s jellyfish are native not to the
Antarctic but to that alien world, with its liquid helium atmosphere and frozen
sky. Herzog’s name for this exotic place: the Wild Blue Yonder.
“I knew it would defy all the rules of whatever a major studio might expect from
a science fiction film,” Herzog says. ...
In the film’s end credits, the very first title card thanks “NASA, for its sense
of poetry.”
an emerging social phenomenon called "virtual worlds" -- computer-generated, persistent, immersive, and representational social platforms. Currently, the most popular virtual worlds are massively multiplayer online roleplaying games (MMORPGs), such as Everquest and Star Wars Galaxies. However, there are many other old and new varieties of virtual worlds.
Wikipedia's Virtual economy
A virtual economy (or sometimes synthetic economy) is an emergent economy existing in a virtual persistent world, usually in the context of an Internet game. People enter these virtual economies recreationally rather than by necessity; however, some people do interact with them for "real" economic benefit.
Synthetic World Economic Data
by Edward Castronova
eBay category 1654, Internet Games, contains auctions for items like magic wands that only exist inside multi-user online communities such as role-playing games. Currencies from these synthetic worlds can be bought and sold in open exchange markets.
