The Importance of Being Earnest in Flatland

[…]of non-fictional texts. Social discourses are activated to provide the site of Tomasula’s critical intervention. In other words, the decision to cut off the signifier of the severing operation–using “vas” for vasectomy, or in other words, reducing vasectomy to “vas”—symbolically disables the State apparatus organizing the sterilization campaigns, literally depriving it of its capacity to contain people, vasectomizing the vasectomizers, so to speak.  The morphological neutralization of vasectomy by subtraction finds a macro-structural equivalent in the strategic juxtaposition of biopolitical positions and their refutations. Such a layout desemanticizes the aggressive declarations by blocking their full deployment to avoid turning VAS into […]

A World in Numbers: A Review of Michael Joyce, Going the Distance

[…]existence…. (237) Ryan’s observation partially reflects the electronic medium in which he is working—as she notes, “you never know if you have seen all the nodes and followed all the links” (226)—but is just as much a feature of Joyce’s handling of point of view and his use of poetic, suggestive images. In Reading Network Fiction Ciccoricco links Joyce’s claims about contours and flow to the organization of some of his electronic works: “Contours are the shape of what we think we see as we see it but that we know we have seen only after we move over them, […]

ELO: Theory, Practice, and Activism

[…]the concrete to the poetic to the theoretical, the following nine short statements were made by a group of emerging artists, scholars, and practitioners from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds. As Nietzsche says on brainyquote.com, “The future of the ELO influences the present just as much as the past.” When we submitted proposals to ELO, ELO 2012 was the future. For now, it is the present, but it will soon be past. Naturally, we find the future in the present, informed as it is by the past. For this panel, I’ve been asked to offer a few ideas about […]

The Procedural Poetries of Joan Retallack

[…]post-Platonic forms gesture toward a kind of cybernetic beauty (yes) for which there’s no critical vocabulary as yet. When Matthew G. Kirschenbaum speaks of the “radical aestheticization of information,” he means to suggest, I think, that the work of the artist in the “information age” is not – as hostile critics of postmodernism contend – only the critical work of resistance to informational transparency, or pure unadorned utility. The artist’s work is also the constructive work of noticing “accidental” aesthetics at play, not as by-products but as primary cultural contexts for the production of technology. Better yet, it is the […]

Love Will Tear Us Apart, Again: Tupitsyn Art Review

[…]between its memory and the possibilities of loving and thinking, here and now, animates a certain critical energy. This Provincetown of memory is a place of oceanic freedom. Going to the movies, sometimes with her mother, sometimes alone. The resource that is cinema, for the young: “Everyone thinks desire is make believe when it comes to famous people and movies. In that case, you can go all the way. Go for it.” Young Masha rides her bike around everywhere, with a headphone sound track, cruising with a kind of tomboy autonomy. “I was being the kind of boy I wanted […]

Towards Minor Literary Forms: Digital Literature and the Art of Failure

[…]“Without a high degree of ‘existential redundancy’–the constraints of the specific code of communication, codes of behavior, particular lexicons, contexts, intentions, the actual relationship between the sender and receiver, and so on—there is no signification.” (234) Information is not concerned with the systems (sender and receiver), which process it. Meaning, on the other hand, is. Thus, information is necessary for signification, but not sufficient. Tan Lin’s Plagiarism/outsource: notes towards the definition of culture : untilted Heath Ledger project : a history of the search engine : disco OS, which nominally concerns itself with the death of actor Heath Ledger employs […]

Review of Heather Houser’s Ecosickness in Contemporary U.S. Fiction: Environment and Affect

[…]through evacuating its inherent emotional intensity. How can writing that seeks to maintain a critical distance adequately, or accurately, she asks, express or contain engagements with affect? While Houser does not discard critical distance, she rightly insists that we “must take methodological inspiration from the literature we analyze and bring different ways of knowing—from scientific experiment to embodied feeling—to bear on each other. Following this procedure, interconnectedness becomes method and not only theme or aspiration” (224). Throughout Ecosickness, Houser (re)incorporates language, which is alternately coded as scientific or affective, in order to undo the false dichotomy between reason and emotion. […]
