In her durational performance, 1001 nights cast, Barbara Campbell cast a story into the ether every night for 1001 nights from 21 June 2005 to 17 March 2008. Each story had been written for her during the day by a pool of (by the end) 243 writers scattered across the globe. With only a few hours to write and a limit of 1001 words, each writer was responding to a writing prompt Campbell had extracted from one of that day's newspaper stories about events in the Middle East. At sunset (according to Campbell's location), she opened the live webstream on the 1001 nights cast website and told the new story to unseen audiences in unknown locations. The stories, as spoken, could only be witnessed in real time, but in text form, they remain on the website as ghosts of their one-time voicing.

Imaginative Reading V is a collaborative web site in 15 paragraphs. A female academic writer is exploring how aspects of her thesis on intertextuality might be "written" in the future by the baby she bore while doing her PhD. A male artist interacts with this writing and develops the writing into both static and moving images and written text. There is a play across genders, textual media, academies vs independence and both artists and writers. Imaginative Reading V is also designed to be read as a fiction, though, and hopefully as something that traverses generic boundaries in order to be open-ended ...

Believe is both a website and a novel which is being written by my fictional character, Theodora Free. It will circulate around ideas about isolation and despair while also trying to find some form of peace/bliss. The novel is still evolving.

Inside/outside intertextuality is a collection of fragments relating to text, new technologies, identity and language. Both text and language are considered in their broadest contexts: as entities which transmute as they voyage across the parallel virtualities of technology and readerly space. I argue that identity is splintered enmeshments ...There are no strict conclusions in this composite text which I regard as always already entangling with a vast world (while it is being read): that of the multi-faceted virtual realities of its reader(s).

Two teams, warriors all, enter the great cycle of pain, humiliation, and exhilaration. Different women take the lead, driven by a new and ardent desire. Some come from the Furies, expressing the unappeasable anger of the dead, while alluring others are descended from the Sirens, liberated from their meadow starred with flowers. Streaming forward are the daughters of the Sibyls, each violent twist and collision triggering a momentary collapse in time through which their bodies can sing the future. Fragments of ecstatic prophesies spit out through the screen, interrupted by an occasional image of life at its most minuscule, revealing universes within universes. We struggle to make sense of the formless, the imperceptible. We struggle to name our fear, yet once we recognise it, we become liberated. Over time the women's power and courage increases. They are formidable, licking the future into shape. As they fall to their knees, the Invisible emerges through a bed of skulls into the yawn of radiance.
