The author provides evidence through the description of projects undertaken at SpecLab. These projects include "Subjective Meteorology," "Artists' Books Online," and the "’Patacritical Demon" [2].

Inspired by the imaginative frontiers of graphic arts and experimental literature and the technical possibilities of computation and information management, the projects Drucker engages range…
