LaCaRa*BoLa

"LaCaRa*BoLa," subtitled "[taste.it.d]" is "is a poly-medial and poly-linear interactive-visual-sound-poem where principles of frgmnt foUr [01 - 3.3] are used in another way. It was created for Alexandre Venera’s (Brasil) acarambola project, playing with the syllables of the word 'a carambola'. The work is arranged in such a way that it can be experienced in and on different levels. First, as a (dadaistic) sound poem, repeating the single syllables by touching the letters in the stream (onmouseover); second, by starting events (onclick). While in the fluid interface of LaCaRa*BoLa a link only is active at a specific moment (highlighted in the interface), after an event has been started one time (by onclick), it can be influenced by the viewer at every time. The recipient gets all 'mixing' options. The poly-linear piece transforms to a mixing tool." -- Reiner Strasser, "Exploring the field of net specific expression (language): Extracts/some pieces on c.re.ations"
