Off Center Episode 10: Immersive Storytelling in Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality with Caitlin Fisher

[…]lab. It’s been just this kind of funny thing that my entire career I’ve generally I moved from working in a solitary practice to working in physical spaces, generally in teams, working collaboratively. SR: I want to read the list because you’re the Director of the Immersive Storytelling Lab at York University, the Augmented Reality Lab, and the Founding Director of the Future Cinema Lab. That’s a lot of labs. CF: It’s a lot of labs. SR: Can you say just a little bit about what all those things are and how you juggle it all? CF: Yeah. So, the […]

Experiments in Generating Cut-up texts with Commercial AI

[…]Words, contagion… infinite incubation—buried deep… within cellular structures—whispering code… the epidemic… of syntax. Bacterial in nature… or viral—language, a parasite—a mutation—lurking beneath the tissue of the tongue—infected… the throat—a maze… of Greek heroes and… Egyptian deities… spread through osmosis—dripping… from the mouths of… pirates… navigating the seas of… reason. Ulysses… eye… a scalpel—slicing through… Could any of the pseudo cutups we generated be passed off as fragments of Burroughs? Yes, at least to non-experts. That would accord with the conclusion in a recent paper which recounts carrying out a similar attempt to mimic the style of H. P. Lovecraft. They […]

Affect Aesthetic and Politics of the Book

[…]the contradictory potential of the politics. As such, bookishness offers analytical potential and critical insights to reflect on feminist knowledge within digital culture and contributes to broader discussions on knowledge production in a digital age. Not only would this be the future discussion of bookishness, but it also inspires much discussion at the intersections of affect, technology, aesthetics, and politics in our post-digital world.

Comics as Big Data: The transformation of comics into machine-interpretable information

[…]even with crews whose business model will entirely depend on small donations. However, not all groups share the same ideals about the charitable nature of their work. For instance, scanlating communities do not uniformly share the ethical code prescribing the principle of non-interference with established book publishers who have licensed or are in the process of licensing the translations of manga comics. Some groups will refuse to strictly limit themselves to scanlating discontinued or out-of-print manga and may or may not remove from circulation a scanlation that becomes commercially available by accredited channels, even when they are requested to do […]

Off Center Episode 9: Hypertext as Technology and Literature with Robert Arellano

[…]which I guess is ultimately text. Another thing I remember about it is, I’m not sure it was working even at the time, but there’s a soundtrack, right? RA: I managed to get it working again because RealAudio Player got completely left behind, and so I’ve since reloaded the 8-tracks as MP3’s. There were suggestions of which tracks to play with which chapters. Another note here is that my good old friend Colin Gagon and Will Oldham, there he is again, were the collaborators on the soundtrack. Colin and I played with and toured with Will for many years in the […]

Gaddis’s Broken Doorknob

[…]book Nobody Grew but the Business: On the Life and Work of William Gaddis: “At the time, I was working on a novel with the pretentious title Awake, which I imagine, if it had ever been published, would have put most people asleep. I looked at it a few years ago, and it certainly had its soporific charms. In any case, Gaddis was pleasant and patient with me during our weekly meetings. He made suggestions for editing, and talked generally about my work, but thirty-five years later, I do not remember the specifics. One event I do remember, however, is […]

Why We Shouldn’t Abandon “Postmodern” Approaches to William Gaddis: J R, American Antihero Traditions, and his Indian Inheritors

[…]and if what they do is often for harmful or destructive ends, it compels us because it reflects critical understanding of a traditional hierarchy and society that is equally corrupt behind its façade of rightness. One tradition of American antiheroes is closer to this line. These begin with Twain’s Birdofredum Sawin and Huck Finn, moving through Holden Caulfield toward (from Gaddis’s era) Randle McMurphy of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Like the European model, these are Romantic rejectors of an overly rationalized civilization, but unlike the Europeans they are often anti-intellectual and wilfully naïve, hence a greater proportion of […]

William Gaddis as Philosopher: Kierkegaard, Style, and the Spirit of Hegel

[…]philosophy has lost its way. How could philosophy lose its way when philosophy is precisely the critical thinking which propels us forward? By adding form to content we have the possibility of thinking beyond thinking. The Recognitions does just this: It thinks beyond the end of thinking. Gaddis is here attempting to solve the same crisis of the end of philosophy that Kierkegaard was, knowing perhaps that philosophy has been written too straightforwardly and needs to perform stylistically. Far from being abstract or unrelated to the bettering of this world—far from the cries of those who think Gaddis’s novels could […]
