Hermann
Rotermund: Internet rebuilds art
Hermann Rotermund describes the characteristics
of the media shift, discusses the specific
language of the net (HTML as new world language)
and to what extent Internet changes our

opera.

Detlev
Clas: The Larissa-Project
Detlev Clas recalls the early Internet project
Larissa42, an interactive broadcasting
thriller by SDR and its listeners in 1995. Clas
describes the new ways of communicating and
interacting in order to produce the script
collaboratively in Internet for 'posting' it on
air and reports on the difficulties of such a
project for the coordinators.

Guido
Graf: Scroll-Back
Guido Graf argues that most of the things we
encounter today in the net have their history in
traditional media, asks how does a link
sound and insists on our not considering
technical features of New Media - as links,
multimediality, and interactivity - as a remedy
of aesthetically despair.

Roberto
Simanowski: Super-Scroll-Back
Roberto Simanowski sets out from the keywords of
the symposium's first presentation to discuss
them in a broader context. The keywords of his
little hypertext are for example: webpage as
stage, characteristics of media and media jump,
levels of authorship, typology of digital
inscenation.

Uwe
Wirth: Super-Scroll-Back
Uwe Wirth questions the new in hypertext
(nonlinearity, interactivity), draws
distinctions in the slogan from the "death of
the author" (death of the author, but not of the
scribent, the author's reentry as publisher),
sheds light on the psychology of chatting (ready
wit as exhibitionism), offers a typology of
performance and raises questions about
the difference between the "authentic" and
"fictive link", about the role of corporality in
hypertext and about the "performative role" of
initiators of Internet projects.

Roberto
Simanowski investigates the prize winner of the
Marianne-von-Willemer-Competition for literature
by women on the Net. Whereas this project at the
first look seems to degrade text to a ball in a
card game, at the second look it seems to be a
clever temptation to read. However, at
the third look it still leaves a lot of
questions open. (>>>Abstract)
