I direct an Immersive Storytelling Lab, and for most of my career have been deeply involved in electronic literatures and disciplinary boundary-crossing, making small worlds: haunted cabinets, first-personal confessionals, treasure boxes, book objects and large-scale cinematic palimpsests. It’s an honour to have the opportunity to think about the trajectory of my work in relation to (un)continuity – to sit with the recurring themes and tools and inspiration that is foundational to my practice – and while I leave all sorts of easter eggs in my work for careful readers – a repetition of character names, reuse of the same 3d […]
The focus of this essay will be Darren Wershler’s NICHOLODEON: a book of lowerglyphs and its living, digital manifestation as a ganglion of texts and links in its online version, NICHOLODEONLINE. Wershler creates a textual homage to the influential Canadian avant-garde poet, bpNichol, in NICHOLODEON, which is a “book” initially published as a print version in 1997 and then later in an online iteration as NICHOLODEONLINE in 1998. The materiality of each iteration differs drastically from the traditional appearance and presentation of its book version to its online manifestation. NICHOLODEONLINE is a moving and dynamic aggregate of pathways—it is a […]
The ELMCIP project (Electronic Literature as a Model of Creativity and Innovation in Practice: Developing a Network-Based Creativity Community), which ran from 2010-2013, was one of the most ambitious joint research projects to date in the field of electronic literature (e-lit). The seven-partner, six-nation project resulted in conferences in six countries, a major exhibition, three books, a film, the first digital anthology of European electronic literature, and the ELMCIP Electronic Literature Knowledge Base, a large-scale, open-access research database. This essay will present this multifaceted project within a Creative DH framework. After first presenting the work of the original three-year collaborative […]
Opening: The logic of white supremacy is parasitical: snaking its way through existing infrastructure, siphoning power, reconstituting structures, and circulating resources to produce hierarchies that elevate white experience. Recent efforts in electronic literature, however, have called this legacy of structural racism into question. The forthcoming (and fourth!) collection of e-lit from the Electronic Literature Organization, ELO’s amended fellowship program, and discussions about decolonizing e-lit featured at electronic book review are a few endeavors that question the role race, racialization, and racism occupy in the field of electronic literature. And yet, as noble as these efforts are, white supremacy has endured […]
Introduction In digital humanities work, we bring humanities insights and methods to bear on digital projects. Those projects are often themselves what we might call “humanities products.” That is to say, these projects operate within humanities domains: analyzing data from humanities disciplines for humanities publications, making humanities arguments in new media forms, opening access to humanities collections, or presenting humanities knowledge to the general public. But these are not the only types of digital projects that can benefit from a humanities approach. This article presents a strand of work we have been doing in developing new electronic literature projects at […]
En ELO 2019, celebrado en Cork, Irlanda, presenté dos series de artefactos digitales que exploran la est/ética aleatoria y su carácter descentralizador y nómada, una condición existencial y fundamentalmente rizomática que sintoniza con los parámetros filosóficos y feministas de Rosi Braidotti, así como con otros planteamientos de cruce y experimentación TRANSLAB, como los propuestos por la artista y teórica digital chilena Valeria Radrigán. En primer lugar, el proyecto-interface titulado Negro en ovejas, llevado a cabo como performance en 2008 en una granja ecológica de los Arribes del Duero, en Zamora (España), y publicado en 2011 como interfaz en la plataforma […]
In what follows, I offer up a reading of where architecture – in particular the repurposing of spaces that have operated as torture and detention centers under twentieth-century dictatorships – opens itself up to nature, provides for nature, and in a dynamic relationship with the natural world, expands upon the ways in which both human craft and nature make meaning. In the example studied here – designs for a space called Amphibia to be situated on the land of the former Chilean prison camp and torture center known as Tejas Verdes – the built environment and nature function as a […]
ELO is currently expanding its scholarly activity with the appointment of five graduate and early career Research Fellows, offering a $500 USD stipend and a one year membership to ELO. Please apply by April 1, 2019. More information can be found here. This month in our publications, Manuel Portela reviews Johanna Drucker’s The General Theory of Social Relativity (2018, The Elephants), praising its negotiation of social theory, artistic practice, and critical thought as a collective “manifesto for a new poetics of the social.” Continuing from ebr’s “Arabic e-lit” series that was first published in December 2018, we have a final essay to feature as part of […]
Brian Davis: The Fall 2017 volume of The New River features Volume Two of your three-volume work-in-progress hypertext, We Descend: Archives Pertaining to Egderus Scriptor. That’s quite a long title. What’s this project about? Bill Bly: We Descend is the short name for an ensemble of writings put together and passed along over a span of many generations. It takes the form of a three-volume hypertext novel that masquerades as a critical edition, with all the commentary, apparati, and other scholarly encrustations appertaining thereto. The overall story (and, since it’s hypertext, this story can be got at more than one […]
We retell—and show again and interact anew with—stories over and over; in the process, they change with each repetition, and yet they are recognizably the same. (Hutcheon 177) There are texts that haunt us, that cannot and will not be forgotten, texts that seem to have strong if often mysterious claims over our memory, attention, and imagination and that urge us to reread them, to make them present in our mind again and again. (Calinescu ix) In this paper I discuss Monstrous Weather (Meanwhile… netprov studio), a recent netprov, or networked improvisation (Wittig, “Literature and Netprov in Social Media: A […]
