• “The Word" (2007) is the first digital poem  I ever created.   It's the dada fusion of all my creative pursuits at once.  It represents a new genre of poetics, fusing my experimental sound art, digital art, photography and animation with original spoken word poetry. This piece deals in a humorous way with the difficulty of expressing transformational experience in written language.

• Original poetry, sound art, visual art, photography, and animation by M. D. Friedman highlight this ground breaking video short. This work showcases a growing mastery of M. D.'s combined talents to produce experimental, experiential, electronic literature fusing several multimedia elements into a new genre of poetics. Featuring state of the art 3D animation, "Know Where to Go Crazy" (2009) is a two voice poem with the second voice heard animated into the viewer's head.

• "Forever Trespass” (2007) is a digital poem exploring the question, "Does the poem own the poet or the poet own poem?" The sound art for this piece was constructed from the 2D (2 directional) poem, "Forever Trespass". The "normal" voice is reading the poem vertically (down the columns) and the "harmonized" voice is reading the same poem horizontally (across the rows). The video was made by animating my photographs and digital art and integrating it with the original sound art.

• "The Kill" was M. D. Friedman's first 2D (2 directional) poem composed in the Spring of 2007.  M. D. Friedman is reading the poem vertically (down the columns) & Mariamne Engle Friedman is reading the same poem horizontally (across the rows).  A live performance of this poem was recorded in April of 2008.  It was then enhanced with original sound art, animation, and visual art to produce this experimental poetry video in the Fall of 2010.
