[…]of interpersonal relationships but also operate through a digital network of programmed code, software, and hardware.Circle’s highly hybrid quality is grounded in how it binds code, communication protocols, software and analog objects to produce a literary experience far exceeding the confines of linguistic text and textuality. It is one of the works showing how the electronic literature is not just about the letter and how it is neither (or not anymore) just about multimodality, it is rather about weaving the code into and through the tangible, the experiential, the elemental. Jessica Pressman insightfully sums up its way of operation: We […]
[…]a kind of writing, which is then retroactively revealed to have been “noisy” all along. Working from the perspective of sound as one of the “spatial arts,” contributors might raise the question of how one should navigate through the rhetoric of noise (while filtering the noise of rhetoric). Who wants to remix this noise into pseudo-autobiographical narrative “mystory” critifiction? Why did Progressve Networks change their name to Real Networks? And what about the new Senator from Washington state, the 42-year-old Maria Cantwell who funded her campaign with moneys cashed in from her job at Real Networks? What’s up with all […]
[…]this time, given the convergence of our timeline with the turn of the year, we decided to impose a working constraint on ourselves: we asked for essays between 1999 and 2000 words in length. That requirement was accepted, in good spirit, by Paul Braffort, Bernardo Schiavetta, and issue editor Jan Baetens. It kept everyone aware of the conditions under which, and the year toward which, we were writing. As the deadline approached, however, and our file organizers automatically adjusted to accomodate our first double-digit issue, we became conscious of another constraint that has silently shaped the ongoing development of the […]
[…]a river will sort out pebbles of different size and weight and deposit them in homogenous groupings at the bottom of the sea; subsequently, certain substances in the water will by way of penetration, percolation, and crystallization cement the pebbles together into a new entity, such as a sandstone layer, with emergent properties of its own. Genes, in turn, are sorted out by a host of different selection pressures, but only those accumulations that are “cemented” and isolated from the rest of the population by closing the gene pool to further reproductive exchange will survive in the shape of a […]
[…]now two years old, titled “electropoetics.” The same can be done for new contributions to “critical ecologies,” “internet nation,” etc. – so that, over time, readers may come to recognize groupings across issues as easily as they can read around in a new issue. This simple device not only makes the journal more hypertextual, but it also works against (without subverting) the periodic nature of journal publication. [thREADs will be re-installed for ebr version 4.0. – ed.] Combining graphic arts, literary genealogy, and standard html coding, ebr employs the hypertext apparatus as a way of tightening the journal structure, not […]
[…]not bode well, since it threatens that readers will be transported back to the dark age of media studies when “media” were seen exclusively in terms of mass media; mass media, in turn, were conflated with television; and television, to top it off, was routinely denounced as the prime instrument of a culture industry bent on deluding, homogenizing, and Americanizing cultures that had hitherto enjoyed the lively interaction and emancipatory splendour of spoken words and printed books. To be sure, there are occasional echoes of this Frankfurt School-type regression in some of the contributions, but it is only fair to […]
[…]resources for resistance, and they remained so until the abstract colonizing system reached a critical level of efficiency, a threshold attained only recently. As Bauman puts it, The so-called “closely knit communities” of yore were, as we can now see, brought into being and kept alive by the gap between the nearly instantaneous communication inside the small-scale community (the size of which was determined by the innate qualities of “wetware,” and thus confined to the natural limits of human sight, hearing, and memorizing capacity) and the enormity of time and expense needed to pass information between localities. (15) What’s changed […]
[…]one is that postfeminism is a term in popular use and the other is his lack of awareness of a group of women which he really should be scared of – those in the grrls movements (in which I would place the Guerilla Girls, even though they precede the real grrls groups by a decade at least). When Gay Lynn Crossley and I started to work on this issue of ebr, we spent a lot of time discussing the inherent difficulty in developing definitions of postfeminism and questioning its currency in certain communities, not merely academic ones. At one point […]
[…]intervention, makes the project, for me, absolutely contemporary. One encounters two groups of signs in different settings – by the asphalt road leading to the entrance, and along a footpath that leads viewers through the heavily wooded park – that are spaced exactly 55.6 meters apart. By placing the components in this way, Hunter initiates a critique of any naturalized or abstract concept of space (of the sort, for example, that would be invoked to sustain the concept of “the nation” or, closer to aesthetic home, “landscape”), referencing it instead immediately to the specific situation of the viewer (including but […]
The second ebr special to employ the concrete poems of Daniel Wenk, working typographical variations on the term, “electropoetics.” Guest edited by Joel Felix, who in 1997 was an undergraduate Lit major at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The original design for ebr5, “electropoetics,” can be viewed by clicking here The scope of these essays include the honeycombed structure of contemporary poetics, that stack of cells of poetic demography which poses as multiplicity but, like the storehouse of the bee, locks into hexagons from the weight of the grid. It may be no stretch to link those hexagonal cells […]
