H2PTM'05 - Create, Play Exchange: Network Experiences
This 8th edition of the H2PTM (hypermedias, hypertexts, products, tools,
methods) conference series restates the now classic themes that initiated
the first conference and since confirm its continuity. With attention to
recent developments, however, it progressively expands the thematic area
into several directions.Hypermedia tools are above anything else instruments of creation and it
is hypermedia where the new products and works of the digital universe
are created. The conference thus accords a large part to the problems of
product development and artistic creation. It emphasizes - among other
things - the question of the "digital author". The fast paced development
of 3D, animation, and interaction technologies stirs at the same time an
interest in video and computer games which will be part of H2PTM this
year. The conference will also tackle the question of "sharing", which
lies at the heart of network practices. Finally, it will closely examine
the notion of the digital document from the point of view of its
creation, transmission and conservation.Eric Dean Rasmussen - 08.11.2011 - 15:03

ELMCIP Seminar on Digital Poetics and the Present
This seminar is one of the ELMCIP events and is organised by Yra van Dijk at the University of Amsterdam.
In recent years, both criticism and practice of digital literature have created a theoretical basis for the approach of the new artform. Ideas have been brought forward on the historical, contextual and institutional embedding of digital literature. Critics have proposed various ways to analyze the hybrid that digital literature is and have emphasised the necessity of a ‘media-specific analysis’. Now the time has come to look closer at techniques and effects of digital literary works, and at the contemporary contexts in which they are created. Digital literature does not operate in isolation: it is in all respects a contemporary artform. The seminar focusses on this question of digital ‘poetics’, understood as the question to the nature and the value of the work, both in criticism as in practice itself.
In addition to the scholarly presentations during the days, there are evening performance events.

GVU Brown bag: Catharsis and Flow: Two Modes in Our Media Culture
This talk is not a report on a particular project; it is an attempt to reflect on the state of our mediascape today, which is made up of both traditional media (such as film, television, and music) and new digital forms that we here in the GVU are helping to create. Today's media can be characterized by a productive tension between catharsis and flow. For example, popular film aims to provoke catharsis, an emotional release through identification with a main character, while videogames and some contemporary music aim through repetition to induce in their audience a state of engagement that the psychologist Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi has famously named “flow.” We can think of flow and catharsis as individual, psychological reactions to our media, but they also define different strategies for media producers and designers. These two modes compete and cooperate in a variety of entertainment forms and industries, and their interaction defines our media culture at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

e(x)literature: the Preservation, Archiving, and Dissemination of Electronic Literature
At the 2002 Electronic Literature Online conference in Los Angeles, Katherine Hayles' keynote address warned that the incessant development of the software and hardware is rendering old computer based works obsolete and inaccessible. Although obsolescence is a problem for every form of cultural production, the reliance of computer-based creations upon a constantly evolving delicate matrix of software and hardware, makes preserving and archiving digital work especially challenging. Out of last Spring's discussions emerged the "PAD" initiative, and acronym for "preservation, archiving, and dissemination." PAD is an effort to develop a software standard (and perhaps eventually software products) that would give writers and artists some influence over the future development of the hardware/software interface, especially with regard to three practical goals of preservation, archiving, and dissemination.

Electronic Literature Exhibit at the 2012 MLA Convention
A special exhibit of electronic literature at the 2012 Modern Langague Association (MLA) Convention, curated by Dene Grigar, Lori Emerson, and Kathi Inman Berens. "Electronic Literature" features over 160 works by artists who create literary works involving various forms and combinations of digital media, such as video, animation, sound, virtual environments, and multimedia installations, for desktop computers, mobile devices, and live performance. The works presented at this exhibit have been carefully selected by the curators because they represent a cross-section of born digital—that is, works created on and meaningfully experience through a computing device—from countries like Brazil, Canada, Australia, Sweden, the UK, the US, and Spain, and highlight literary art produced from the late 1980s to the present. Thus, the exhibit aims to provide humanities scholars with the opportunity to experience, first-hand, this emergent form of literature, one that we see as an important form of expression in, as Jay David Bolter calls it, this "late age of print."
