The featured works are:

• 88 Constellations for Wittgenstein (to be played with the Left  
Hand) by David Clark
 “88 Constellations for Wittgenstein (to be played with the Left  
Hand)” correlates historical concepts and characters which  
interconnect with the questions that Ludwig Wittgenstein pondered in  
his career as a philosopher: logic, language, the nature of thinking,  
and the limits of knowledge--in relation to our contemporary digital  
world.

• Exile Paranoia by Nassrin Nasser
“Exile Paranoia” is a visual expression of the artist's inner  
feelings surrounding her experience of immigration from Iran into  
Western culture. Shot in Tehran and London, the film is a powerful  
example of mood and feeling illustrated through surrealism and metaphor.

• i made this. you play this. we are enemies. by Jason Nelson
"i made this. you play this. we are enemies." is an art game and  
interactive digital poem built on screen shots from influential  
community-based websites and portals. Using messy hand drawn  
elements, strange texts, sounds, and multimedia layering this project  
invites users to play and exist outside and over the controlling  
constraints of the world we browse.

• Landscape Memory #1 by Arthur Tuoto
With a conceptual backdrop dealing with memory and the everyday,  
“Landscape Memory #1” marries sound and visual abstraction. This two  
minute film was shot entirely on mobile phone.

• The Interactive Book of Changes -- I Ching by Jing Zhou
“The Interactive Book of Changes -- I Ching” translates an ordered  
universe into a system of parallel symbols--sixty-four hexagrams,  
which express various human situations. From the Chinese perspective,  
all phenomenal existence is conditioned by two polarities--Yin and  
Yang. These represent the dynamic of change.  This interactive  
version of the I Ching brings ancient ideas into a modern venue,  
rejuvenating an old culture as well as transforming and enriching  
future ones.
