Abstract
An electronic literature installation featured in the Chronicle of Higher Education, and exhibited in Bergen, Norway at "The Ends of Electronic Literature" media arts show, and again at "Electronic Literature: a Matter of Bits" at Rutgers/Camden.

"RestOration" is a multimodal work featuring a "reflective pool" made of e-waste, where visitors could see multiple screens of their own reflection in the abandoned, linked screens. The visitor is implicated in both the ewaste and the lovely home in the Bergen hills, located at the address Kalfarlien 18, the story of which is told in a hypertext blending stories of global warming, e-waste and intimate spoken-word poems. The installation also featured a haunted sound installation, and an iPad game made from the original architectural drawings of the 100-year-old house.
