Tech Quotes – What Would Technology Say About Humans
Sophisticated things smart people say about other people – everybody loves it. But what if such things were said from a totally different perspective? Nowadays technology is able to analyze, think, judge, choose and response. What was a part of science fiction world now starts to leak into reality. It’s high time to realize that [...]
Transtories – Google-Translated Stories v. 2.0
Both iPhone and hashtag stories are much better known than this literary experiment. I’ve been trying to use Google Translate a few times before, including Google-translated Day, but the feeling I always had was that it’s not there yet. But now I’m fully convinced I’m doing the right thing. What’s more important: it’s not too [...]
Google-translated fiction – wersja 2.0
Google-translated fiction jest, obok historii obrazkowych tworzonych w całości na iPhonie (one picture stories) oraz mikroopowiadań na Twitterze konstruowanych za pomocą popularnych tagów (hashtagstories), jednym z projektów literackich, którymi chcę zwrócić uwagę czytelników na swoją twórczość – twórczość technologicznie zakręconego self-publishera z Polski. Potencjalnych czytelników szukam w każdym kraju na świecie, nie tylko w Polsce. [...]

Ivona, czyli technologicznie przetworzone myśli o technologii
Znowu zacząłem maltretować Ivonę. Wróciła wczoraj w przebłysku wspomnieniowo-inspiracyjnym (krótkie wspomnienie, stanowiące źródło inspiracji) – wpadłem na pomysł, by wykorzystać syntezator mowy do przekazania kilkunastu najlepszych myśli na temat relacji człowieka i technologii, znajdujących się w tym zestawieniu. Doszedłem do wniosku, że po pierwsze forma będzie bardziej zwracała uwagę, a po drugie uda się zbudować [...]
Hashtagstories – Stories Written as a Sequence of Twitter Hashtags
It’s almost a year since I started hashtagstories – microstories written with current Twitter hashtags. Sorry? Stories written with what? A year ago this was weird even to me. But it was just so inspiring to combine the world of hashtags into a piece of a literary fiction that I gave it a try. I [...]
Looking for a partner to co-create avatar stories
Today @wembley shared a great link. When you go to a Twitter profile of @420watch, you’ll see in a sidebar an awesome visual art made from animated avatars. The idea is brilliant, as well as execution. One of those ideas answering a question “what else can we do with the old good Twitter”. One of [...]
One Picture Stories: Where to Find Them
Now you can find One Picture Stories in many sites across the internet as I did a perfectly insane job of autoposting with a help of Mobypicture and Posterous. They are the two services, where I send an original, freshly made story from an iPhone. Please choose below your favourite source of One Picture Stories:
3 ways to subscribe to #1picstory
Yay, #1picstory is doing really well! Stories receive a growing number of views and retweets. Looks like this type of micro fiction is more appealing than just words. With every new picture created I feel better suited to continue the project. It becomes an exceptional skill, which combined with the ownable storytelling idea, is worth [...]
One Picture Stories – Stories Pictured and Written on an iPhone
One sentence description of #1picstory (originally tweeted here): A story written within one picture, created on an iPhone from a very first idea to a very first tweet. I started this new digital storytelling project at the beginning of a year. At that time people make resolutions. New Year Resolutions are good, because you can [...]
One sentence description of #1picstory [+bonus]
Just tweeted it from @mobilefiction and other profiles. A bonus is a wonderful piece of code, which streams all tweets currently tagged #1picstory. Stay tuned, in a couple of days a kick-off post will appear. I’m writing it right now.
Nieśmiałe początki #1picstory
Początek roku jak zwykle zasypuje mnie nowymi pomysłami. Aż sam się dziwię, gdy tak w środku nocy podkrada się jakiś taki jeden i potem nie daje spać. Tak było w zeszłym roku (projekty na Twitterze, Google-translated fiction), tak jest i teraz. Poszukuję jakiejś nowej formy wyrazu, która wykraczałaby poza samo słowo, ale dałaby się umieścić [...]
Best of #hashtagstory 2009
2009 is over. In a couple of days all traces of our last year’s activity will disappear from Twitter search results. Everybody wants to shorten a year to a couple of sentences. Same with me. And I’ll naturally do it using #hashtagstory. As I described in a kick-off post, hashtagstories were intended to bring fiction [...]

Pierwsze grupy collaborative fiction w Google Wave!
Już w czasie pierwszych zapowiedzi wiadome było, że nowe narzędzie od Google ma wielkie szanse zrewolucjonizować sposób komunikowania się między ludźmi. Na podstawie filmów demonstracyjnych można było również wyciągnąć wniosek, że Wave może być świetnym sposobem na uprawianie collaborative fiction. Tak więc, gdy dostałem zaproszenie od ludzi z TED (i przełamałem niechęć do siedemnastej nowości [...]
Google-translated fiction v.1.09
It’s been eight long months since I started a litexperimental project called Google-translated fiction. A simple description is: letting technology, in this case GT Beta, influence the final effect of human’s writing. Major reason I’m running this project is to establish a presence of technological tools in literature in order to eliminate language limitations. Sounds [...]
A literary Project on Twitter – #hashtagstory
Here it is – a Twitter literary project called #hashtagstory. A couple of days ago I decided to stop #twitnovel. The last one I wrote is here. I realized, that as a non-English writer I would be just a 7th-or-sth-level imitator of the best Twitter writers. So I started to look for a good alternative. [...]
Będę pisał faktury wierszem
Nie żartuję. Taki ma plan. Można powiedzieć, że jest to plan biznesowy, biorąc pod uwagę, że będziemy mieli do czynienia z poezją, która jest jednocześnie wezwaniem do zapłaty. Wszystko zaczęło się wczoraj od powieści w Excelu. Gdyby ktoś w Polsce usłyszał o czymś takim, to potratowałby wiadomość jako żart pisarza kuriozum, który nie zasługuje na [...]
