How is the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting measures, and movement of cultural life online reflected in electronic literature and other digital narrative practices online? With this roundtable we propose an exploration and discussion of electronic literature during this time of COVID.

In the current situation, public libraries, theatres, cultural festivals have been closed across many countries and virtually all cultural life creative practices have moved online. This presents an opportunity for electronic literature and net art, but also necessitates new ways of understanding online media and making sense of current life worlds.

Climates of Change

This virtual exhibition was originally part of ACM Hypertext and Social Media 2020, a conference originally intended to be hosted at the University of Central Florida in July 2020. The exhibition was designed to be colocated with the Electronic Literature Organization Conference and Media Arts Show, happening the same week, and was thus distributed to artists in both communities for submissions.

Fourth VR: Indigenous virtual reality practice

Indigenous creators are currently using virtual reality (VR) tools, techniques and workflows in wide-ranging geographical locations and across multiple VR formats. Their radical adaptation of this new technology folds together cultural traditions and VR`s unique audiovisual configurations to resist dominant, particularly colonial frameworks.

Withing this context, we ask how VR is being used to create space and capacity for indigenous creatives to tell theis stories and how do indigenous creatives negotiate Eurocentric modes of production and distribution?

To answer these questions, our Fourth VR database provides a snapshot of indigenous VR works. By draving on three case studies drawn from the database- The Hunt(2018), Future Dreaming (2019) and Crow: The Legend (2018)- As well as the wider patterns emergin across the database, it is possible to see and indigenous centered VR productions framework.
