3. Interactions: Shelley Jackson

   About Shelley Jackson

   Shelley Jackson is the author of the virtually-canonized hypertext novel Patchwork Girl published by Eastgate. Jackson was recently selected as a Village Voice Writer on the Verge. Jackson describes herself as the lovechild of Samuel Beckett and Pippi Longstocking. On her website, ineradicablestain she writes: "Shelley Jackson was extracted from the bum leg of a water buffalo in 1963 in the Philippines and grew up complaining in Berkeley, California. Bravely overcoming a chronic pain in her phantom limb, she extracted an AB in art from Stanford and an MFA in creative writing from Brown. She has spent most of her life in used bookstores, smearing unidentified substances on the spines, and is duly obsessed with books: paper, glue, and ink.

4. Digital Arena: On 'New Directions in Digital Poetry' — Chris Funkhouser

   Synthetic in essence and brittle in terms of longevity, digital poetry’s fluid states prevent us from considering works as being plastic. Yet since they are never completely fixed, works of digital poetry always maintain plasticity in presentation on the WWW. They exist in a state of being molded, receiving shape, made to assume many forms – often seeking qualities that depict space and form so as to appear multi-dimensionally.

   C.T. Funkhouser’s lecture “On 'New Directions in Digital Poetry'” recounts the challenges and process of preparing a scholarly edition focusing on the pursuit of fully – and usefully – capturing the dynamics of this ever-changing genre. As poetry becomes a networked form, its poetics explodes and singular measurements of its pliancy resist finite definition. Recognizing plasticity as an aesthetic foundation establishes a valuable metaphor for generally qualifying the results of electronic writing to date, “On 'New Directions in Digital Poetry'” explicitly stems from Funkhouser’s experience teaching Electronic Literature courses at New Jersey Institute of Technology.

    Online writing is revolutionary - and no solitary affair. The Electronic Literature Organization presented award-winning authors reading from their projected work: Shelley Jackson's monster showed off her stitches, with the audience indicating which thread to follow. The Unknown let the audience yell out when they wanted to switch scenes. The Ed Report team offered a "press conference" about their mock government report. M.D. Coverley revealed "Hidden Places in Califia," reading the concealed beginning and ending of a story about a character the audience selects.
