[…]feedback loops happening, but it really is a networked thing. And you can see this in the way that groups treat characters like you’ll have fandom, and everybody will converge on an idea of who that character is. And sometimes it’s quite different than what’s in the original work, but because everybody has been writing these stories, they come together as one characterization. FK: The other thing I was going to mention is that it can be tempting to say, well, there’s fan studies and there’s all this stuff and that’s basically social science research. Maybe you could do literary […]
[…]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 […]
[…]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 […]

[…]of a certain size. So I adapted TiddlyWiki for longer works. I printed out the TiddlyWiki source code and took it with me on the subway on the way to work. I jotted notes in the margin and highlighted things I didn’t understand. Based on that, I built small command-line tools that allowed me to work in a way that made sense to me, but eventually generated TiddlyWikis. Of course, TiddlyWiki had an open source license, so I could do that. I think platforms build on each other. They don’t usually emerge from nothing. They certainly react to each other. […]
[…]the noninvasive brain sensors, because they are now beginning to track brain signals, they can decode speech. They can decode what you are going to say. They can decode the music you are listening to. They can decode what you are seeing. They can do these under specific conditions, which are usually fMRI, but also magnetic encephalopathy, and in the last two weeks there was a merger between Forest Neurotech and Butterfly. Butterfly produces this handheld ultrasound sensor, which, in the medical context, is very, very helpful. SR: I know a digital artist who’s moved to that company. JJ: Wow. […]
[…]or destroy the territories of the uniquely human frequently demonstrate the degree to which our working models of the uniquely human are already entirely conditioned by these technologies.” (Kirkwood 172) Digital media, like cinema, requires on/off logic, synthesizing binary signals into perceptual unities. A web page composed of text, images, and video is transmitted as packets of binary data, traveling across multiple internet paths to arrive at its destination, where a browser reassembles the parts into a cohesive whole. The “magic” of digital media, reminiscent of early cinema’s spectral phenomena, now raises similar public concerns about its impact on human […]
[…]debate on cybertext, an ecocritical thematic section on natural media, a thread on critical code studies and – most recently – on AI and digital writing), but the journal has been consistently offering new formats of critical interventions and academic exchange, such as riPOSTes, thREADs, essay gatherings, and editorial glosses. All of them are based on the idea of ebr’s intertext, in “contrast to the decontextualized and ahistorical approach to presenting essays” in outlets such as Academia, ResearchGate, and such like (Fan 2023). ebr, circa 2025, is now in the process of gathering contributions whose authors (or readers) have self-consciously […]
[…]the breadth of topics discussed. Although we had fiery discussions, I’d always experienced the group as supportive and inclusive. It came as a surprise, then, when someone posted an accusation that our group was white supremacist. She had seen us discuss Russia’s attack on Ukraine with emotion and support for Ukranians, whereas the more recent posts about Israel’s attack on Palestine received hardly any comments. The screenshots of posts she found using the search function of the Facebook group were all new to me, I had not seen the posts in support of Palestine in the feed. Neither had other […]
[…]investigation. My final point concerns the understanding of capitalism, which Duncan (similarly to critical animal studies scholars) invokes to explain modern farming practices. I highlight this because the industrialization of animal farming did not occur exclusively within Western capitalism; similar developments also took place in socialist countries during the latter half of the 20th century—a fact often overlooked. Of course, when analyzing mass industrial meat production, its capitalist roots cannot be ignored. Industrial farms and modern slaughterhouses, operating under the logic of disassembly lines, are quintessential expressions of capitalism. They are driven by principles of scientific management (Taylorism) that govern […]
