Roberto
Simanowski: Opening Words
|
While
traditional literature only dreamt of readers
who are the heros of the text they read, in
digital literature readers indeed can kill and
being killed. This introduction to the
conference also explains why digital literature
is only digital if it is not only digital, why
the code is not the text unless it is the text,
to what extent a hermeneutics of digital signs
requires a new methodological approach, and why
"digital literacy" after all is still based on
reading skills.

Chris
Funkhouser: The Scope for a Reader: The
Poetry of Text Generators
|
Syntext,
developed by Pedro Barbosa and Abílio
Cavalheiro in the early 90s brings, despite
being primitive on the surface, powerfully to
light the expressive possibilities, versatility,
and variation within permutation texts, and
provides sufficient evidence upon which a
typology of computer poems can be
established...

Peter
Gendolla: The Art of Poetry Machines
|
The
history of machine-aided poetry from Swift to
Roussel, Bense, the Oulipo-group and David
Link's Poetry Machine 1.0* represents the idea
of aesthetic creativity as an interplay between
‘poetic’ algorithms and
‘human’ control of the
poetry-generator, with more or less interesting
results ...

N.
Katherin Hayles: Distributed Cognition in/at
Work: Strickland, Lawson, and Ryan's
slippingglimpse
|
The two
main conceptual issues at stake in
slippinglgimpse are the relationship
between human and non-human cognizers, and the
intricate play between dynamic and static
systems. The first involves natural systems such
as wind/water interactions, human
readers/writers, and machine cognizers; the
second involves emergent patterns amidst
continually changing flux (and implicitly,
electronic text vs. print)...

Fotis
Jannidis: On Genre Theory and Popular
Arts
|
Using
concepts developed in the studies of popular
culture the new and already famous game
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is dicussed in relation to the
paradigms of the ego-shooter genre and viewed as
a work of modern popular art...

Rita
Raley: List(en)ing Post
|
Listening
Post is at once a post (site) for
‘listening to the web’, an
installation comprised of 21 columnar posts
(suspended chain-circuit displays), and an
algorithmically manipulated series of chat posts
(messages). It is postmodern, post-linear,
post-print, and post-literate...

Francisco
Ricardo: Reading the Discursive Spaces of
Text Rain
|
Many
multimodal digital works now transcend
established conventions and forms of
literature’s essentially textual character
by transforming, within their own structure, the
presence and nature of text so that it is
experienced in a new function, less lexically
than in concert with other modalities. Text
Rain is a proverbial instance of this
transmodal text ...

Jörgen
Schäfer: Looking Behind the
Façade. Playing and Performing an
Interactive Drama
|
Following
the ongoing debates between
‘ludologists’ and
‘narratologists’, the "interactive
drama" Façade is apparently a
response to widespread unease with mainstream
computer games. By balancing between features of
interactivity and (neo-)Aristotelian theory of
drama, it aims at enabling hybrid aesthetic
experiences that combine elements of gameplay
and performance...

Karin
Wenz: The Demon Machine
|
The
demon machine is a semiotic machine,
combining different sign systems into a new
meaningful whole in the way of montage and
collage as used since the avant-garde. It is
highly intertextual and intermedial: a poetic
work, a thought experiment and a theoretical
reflection on Maxwell’s demons at the same
time...
