In fact, I may like your interpretation of chance (as “an experience of reflection. What happened? What did I do? What might I have done? What should I have done? Chance is experienced is a process of reflection, in which we meditate upon how now might have been different. Or why now is the way it is”) better than my own – it’s more convincing, maybe because that’s how it operates in my everyday life. And chance-based poems are enactments of the coming-together of countless different elements to create…x. Then again, as I think more about it now while writing to you, I don’t wonder about what I could have or should have done, but about the coming-together of events that caused x to happen (whether it’s a digital poem or a car accident). Just some casual thinking here to acknowledge your post –

When I create new works I love to hide layers, add extras where they would rarely be found. And thus I am trying to create a depth, in the same way we experience depth, lets say while driving. We might be concentrating on the road or the driver in front, but the depth of the landscape constantly filters into our experience. Small signs, cows running, glimpses of alleyways, all create depth, ever branching stories and multimedias loosely connected by our driving.

You mention reflection which I would suggest is the same as interact or create, at least when I consider digital poetry. The user reflects by existing/crating within/interacting with the artwork.
