Weirding Winona: iDMAa 2022 Weird Media Exhibition

[…]social and environmental issues. David Bowie said of art: “If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting” (Bowie). Humanity (and technology) progresses with experimentation and it’s the weirdo visionaries that call on us to rethink what we know, reimagine what it means to […]

Review of Broken Theory by Alan Sondheim

[…]the “muteness of the real” (15), to make that theory or poem or gesture or sound or artwork or codework that would finally enunciate the origin (and so also the end) of language, meaning, value, life, etcetera. He thereby establishes a topology of “this side” and “that side,” or inside and outside. “I like to believe I’m working on a frontier,” but “beyond the Pale there’s nothing but the agony of shadows” (123). And the book then becomes an expression of the horrifying, impossible wish to travel to the other side, and also a journal of the repeated failures to […]

Riderly waves of networked textual improvisation: an interview with Mark Marino, Catherine Podeszwa, Joellyn Rock, and Rob Wittig.

[…]play. When I hear them, I hear that magical thing that happens in childhood where you’re all working together to create a virtual something and they’re working it out and they’re tussling a little bit about what the reality is. But it’s in that tussle that the reality gets defined. And that it can happen inside netprovs is really exciting and could be interesting for social change. Anna Nacher Thank you. Thank you so much. Yeah, we have this ongoing discussion on how electronic literature can actually contribute to social change, the required social change. So I think netprov definitely […]

Generative Unknowing: Nathan Allen Jones’ Glitch Poetics

[…]that enable and delimit the digital encounter. It is here that Jones notes how artists ‘working in experimental poetry and the critical off-shoots of poetry called ‘poetics’ often conceive of language as a system of logics that can be bent and broken to deviate from the conditions of the sayable delimited by existing norms’ (22). This crafting of errancy may lack the viscerally disruptive, often unwelcome surprise brought about by the functional unravelling of digital systems, interfaces, and working patterns, but they still provide a matrix through which to read diffractively the complex (and frequently frictional, uncertain) entanglements of the […]

Claire Donato Netprov Interview, Dec 2022

[…]would happen that would take place within the context of the pandemic living room setting. We were working really hard to try to conceptualize and execute and it never quite got there. But it was fun to think around. Rob Wittig 21:48 I would encourage you not to let that go. I think there are a lot of possibilities there! In Your Living Room with a Wrist Band! Claire Donato 21:59 We never could quite figure out what it was. We had the net artists. Net performance artist Molly Soda made a webpage for it. The game part of it […]

Johannah Rodgers Netprov Interview, Oct 2022

[…]as much in that environment. But in that project I ended up composing some messages in Morse code — there are several Morse code translators on the Web — and then getting responses back in Morse code from people I’d never met and whose messages I was only ever partially able to translate and understand because, at that point in time, there were virtually no automated Morse Code to alphabetic language translators.  I like how Morse code looks and I think a lot about coding and communication in my work so to have other people pick up these threads from […]

The development of Internet Fiction in China, from Internet sub-culture to mainstream literature

[…]Chinese web and universities Bulletin Board Systems (BBSs) from the second half of the 1990s, most studies on the development of Chinese Internet literature tend to trace the beginning of the phenomenon to 1998, when the first online popular novel – Cai Zhiheng’s The First Intimate Contact – was published in Chinese cyberspace. Yet, it is with the rise of literary forums and literary websites that Chinese Internet literature experienced the great surge in its popularity that still continues today. 2.1. Internet literature websites and online literary communities Between the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, Under the Banyan Tree was […]

Modelit: eliterature à la (language) mode(l)

[…]that resonates with a foundational tenant for the methodology of textual criticism as a literary studies specialism. Text is not to be identified with its physical instantiations. Text in a computer is the same object of textual critical study as text in a book. And alphabetic text is, in fact, foundational for modern computation. It is determinant of important characteristics for encoding conventions which still predominate. But as we have also already pointed out text implies nothing more than some kind of regular relation with language as such, and it does not take much research – think English spelling (orthography) […]

Off Center Episode 5: AI, Computational Creativity, and Media Production with Drew Keller

[…]was a direct response. When hydropower arrived, there were a lot of folks who were in horrible working conditions and, frankly, were undervalued in what they were doing and were out of a job. And so there were a group of folks who used a fellow by the name of Ned Ludd as their sort of spiritual leader, and they decided to fight the rush towards industrialization. And they started, as you said, breaking into factories, breaking the looms, and they worked really hard to target the factories, the mill owners and the people who supported this rush to industrialization.

Off Center Episode 3: Artistic Research and Digital Writing, with Jason Nelson

[…]and some of the most impactful, powerful experiences for students are when they’re actively working on projects that we’re working on, or at least witnessing it, being a part of it, that kind of thing. So I could really see those two integrated. SR: Yeah. And merging practice and theory, I think is real important. It’s something that might be, if not unique, pretty distinctive about the environment that we’re bringing here. JN: I think you’re right. Because it is true as a research Center, it is actually really unique in that regard, in the sense that we have both […]
