Authored by Stephanie Strickland
Published by Ahsahta Press in 2008

The "Ballad of Sand and Harry Soot" is a poem written by Stephanie Strickland as a score for a hypertext implementation, coded by Janet Holmes. Its images are suggestive of digital or mathematical culture, including Webcam photos, a core dump, an animated fractal, and algorithmic patterns inscribed in sand by a computer-driven steel ball.
