Scott Rettberg, one of the curators and featured artists, created his piece around the catastrophes of hurricanes in coastal areas and the effects of climate change. His art piece features algorithmic changes that he relates to poem structures and deals with the reactions of those experiencing widespread natural disasters in an amplified way.

Scott’s book, Electronic Literature, is also featured in the gallery, which explores the genres and forms of literature made possible by the digital world.
