<p>VEL<br />
by Alan Sondheim<br />
$16.00<br />
Based on Virtual Environment work, an intense selection of recent texts<br />
on motion capture, avatars, online experience, and language. A must!<br />
<a href="http://www.cafepress.com/cp/browse/Ne-6_N-1203+1016+20472268_nr-1_bt-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.cafepress.com/cp/browse/Ne-6_N-1203+1016+20472268_nr-1_bt-1</a></p>
<p>.echo<br />
by Alan Sondheim<br />
Alan Sondheim's new ebook, .echo, takes you on a fascinating journey<br />
with<br />
Nikuko Meat-Girl into the language of avatars, transliterate lovemaking<br />
and virtual subjectivity. While interacting with Sondheim's ebook of<br />
mystical eroticism, the reader will lose themselves in a net.fiction<br />
charged with sex, obsession, codework and real bodies pushed to the<br />
limit.<br />
A provocative theory-world presented in the guise of experimental<br />
narrative, .echo takes the reader on a high-speed, yet zen-like trip<br />
through a hallucinatory landscape that one can imagine used to be the<br />
world. There's never been anything like this book as it confounds the<br />
relationship between America and Japan, prosthetics and aesthetics,<br />
visible words and invisible intelligences. Enter at your own risk!<br />

reprinted November 2004<br />

<p>The Wayward<br />
Salt Books<br />
The Wayward is an exploration into virtual life and theory. It uses<br />
tools<br />
from codework to traditional genre; much of its work is the result of<br />
programming intended to create systems of circulating texts. Think of<br />
The<br />
Wayward as a poetics of the imaginary, stumbling over the grounds of the<br />
real - constantly questioning linguistic referents and 'meaning in<br />
general.' The work is a ground-breaking exploration of the roots and<br />
structures of online and offline life, in which language simultaneously<br />
explodes and implodes. Conversations among 'emanents' dominate<br />
inconceivable landscapes; sexualities are constructed and deconstructed.<br />
There's not another work like it.<br />

feminist Doctress Neutopia; anthropologist Roger Bartra; and theorists<br />
Friedrich Kittler, Slavoj Zizek, Mark Poster and Gregory Ulmer. Artists<br />
include Mike Metz, Alice Aycock, Peter Halley.<br />
