PoéticaSonora: Prototyping in Montreal a Digital Audio Repository for Latin American Sound Art and Poetry
This poster and lightning talk will introduce PoéticaSonora (http://poeticasonora.mx), an international research group developed by professors and students from Concordia University (Montreal) and UNAM (Mexico City) seeking to question the primacy of textual dimension in art and literature by addressing the legibility of sound, the nexus between sound and inscription, and the evasiveness of voice in print and other writing systems. It seeks to archive, preserve, and disseminate works by Latin American sound artists and poets in digital audio format (mainly in Spanish, but not limited to this language), as well as to facilitate the study of these authors and trends. Founded in 2016, it operates under two complementary axes, preservation and activation. While many academic and artistic events are hosted throughout the year, mainly in Mexico City, fieldwork and archival research is regularly conducted to gather audio files for our main project, the Digital Audio Repository for Sound Art and Sound Poetry (DARLA, work-in-progress name https://poeticasonora.me/searchhome).

Probing the gaps between datasets and interfaces in electronic literature
The contrast between the conceptual and material realities of data harvesting and of digital interfaces is a captivating subject matter I will tap into to make visible the physicality of the internet and to subvert destructive dominant, colonial narratives with respect to the natural environment and climate.
This intervention will use poetry and photography/video as electronic literature to shed light on the conceptual language used online (e.g., on social media, corporate websites, online magazines, etc.) to discuss datasets in relationship to digital interfaces. Furthermore, it will address an identifiable gap within this language, which can be viewed in the production of massive amounts of electronic waste.

Of Presence and Electronic Literature
In this chapter, in The Bloomsbury Handbook of Electronic Literature, Luciana Gattass aim to approximate German literary theorist Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht's aesthetics of "presence" to the recent phenomenon of electronic literature, which Gattass describes as the digitally "born" literary objects meant to be experienced within networked and programmable media environments.

Opening up the Silent World: Narrating Interaction in a Digital Comic
This paper examines Minna Sundberg’s ongoing and award winning digital web comic Stand Still. Stay Silent as a type of e-literature increasingly found in the “gap” between digitized comics and graphic novels on the one hand and born digital e-lit on the other. While the Sunberg’s process of production will be briefly noted, the main focus explores how the comic thematizes modes of interactivity that Sundberg also encourages in her readers/followers via forms of social media. Set in a post-apocalyptic world , the comic is an ongoing tale of exploration and discovery, where a group young explorers have left the havens of plague-free safe zones in order to see what is left of the rest of the world. The supernatural elements associated with the plague, or “the illness,” are also associated with a past that somehow went wrong. Writing of “Beasts, Trolls, and Giants,” the narrator explains, “They are a shadow of our past, a distorted echo of what once there was.” Avoiding the shadow of the past and the monstrosities it has produced is a powerful theme, carrying an implied social critique that deserves examination.

Secrets, a pedagogic tool for e-lit practices
Memories of «Cuéntanos un secreto» (Tell me a secret) understanding textualities in the Network and programmable media. Paper focuses on the electronic exploration collection.
At first glance, secrets are experiences that are kept hidden from the outside world. They are hidden because of particular social circumstances. Those circumstances relate to the personal and social ethics in its historical context.

The Infinite Question: Borges and E-Lit
Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges has been styled as one of the precursors of electronic literature, and his influence has been explored in a multitude of projects, especially when referring to the development of hypertextual structures (Manovich) or posthumanist theories (Herbretcher, Callus). Rather than tracing Borges’s overall influence in electronic literature, this talk presents a series of recent works of e-lit that that engage with Borges's particular figures of infinity as described in The Library of Babel (1941), The Aleph (1949), and The Book of Sand (1975). In each of these works, Borges’s figures of the infinite can be conceptualized as their own media object/process, inasmuch as they shape the limits (or lack thereof) and the form of their own particular “infinite”--very much in the same way that the media configurations of a work of electronic literature. Within this framework, Nick Montfort’s Taroko Gorge and Dan Waber’s Sestinas are presented as generativist works with the potential to run forever.
