Jason's website Secret Technology is a must-see for anyone interested in Electronic Literature. It has "almost everything [he has] ever created" which is a pretty broad group of work. Clicking the link to "Digital Creations" takes you to a long page of his original works, the first being "Between Treacherous Objects"
It's a lot of fun but I struggle to find meaning in the works. I get an idea for some of them, but the lack of text for all but a few of the pieces makes it difficult. He did say when I met him though that he was working to add text. The first piece is Between Credit Dumpster. Some of the poetry within the grid is very good, especially the last one about accumulation help analysis and the picture is pretty clear when the password is Credit. Another fun part of this is that there is a email address broken in pieces and scattered in the different grids. Jason said that if you get the full address he would send you a postcard - so I found the pieces and sent him a request (We'll see if he comes through).
The "Poem Cube" is another fun piece. He gives you one 16 line poem to play with, but you are also able to create your own. I played around with his some. It's kind of like playing with a Rubik's cube - never really getting it perfect but having fun looking at all the interesting combinations; the meaning like the color scheme changing with each rotation.
There is a great mix of artwork, fiction, poetry, interactive literature and more stuff I don't know the name for yet. He also has several links which have been enlightening. I'm very glad I've found this site.
