1. Curating, Archiving and Preserving Electronic Literature

   This 2-hour workshop aims to provide participants with an understanding of how to curate exhibits of electronic literature. It will cover the following topics:

   • Developing a concept

   • Producing a Call for Works

   • Establishing evaluation processes

   • Creating a curatorial plan

   • Mounting the show

   • Working with electronic literature as objects of exhibition

   • Documenting work for tenure and promotion and grants

   Participants are encouraged to bring their laptops and/or tablets for accessing samples of electronic literature and instructional materials as well as for use in developing plans.

   At the end of the workshop, participants will have information needed for undertaking their own curated exhibits, both invited and juried.

2. Introduction to Animation using the Processing Programming Language

   Processing (processing.org) is a programming language that provides a simplified interface to the power of the OpenGL graphics libraries. This tutorial is intended to teach artists with no programming experience how to write programs in Processing that generate short animations. Topics covered include the RGB color model, primitive 2-d geometric shapes, basic transformations (translation, scaling, rotation), and frame generation. Approximately 25 complete sample programs are provided to participants for use as the basis for their own projects. The tutorial can be presented as a 1 or 2 hour lecture or as a 2 to 4 hour mixed lecture / laboratory session with hands-on activities.

   The proposed tutorial is based on an Hour of Code presentation by the proposer during Computer Science Education Week (December 2013) to West Virginia University journalism students, faculty, and staff.

3. E-Lit for Children

   Children seem to get e-lit long before their parents do. The idea that books might become magical or that poems might leap to life just makes sense to kids. So why not help them write it? One reason that is obvious to anyone who has written an unfinished overly ambitious branching narrative is that's it's easy to create a combinatoric nightmare or to end up with a terrible tangle of branches, leaving no time to create the text. Another reason is building these magic books takes a bit of technological knowledge that these digital-natives for some reason don't have from the womb (no fault of the womb). In this workshop, aimed at children, educators, and adult children, I will walk a group through the making of a choice-based micro-adventure using either Undum or Inkle. The goal will be to dive straight into the e-lit waters by writing a shared narrative within some tight constraints that ensure we will produce a story within the allotted time.

4. Fourteen recipes for a sonnet

   This paper discusses a semester-long classroom project in which senior seminar students were required to take Shakespeare’s Sonnet 14 and convert it into various media objects and texts. The assignments made use of Ian Bogost’s “procedural rhetoric” (“a type of rhetoric tied to the core affordances of computers: running processes and executing rule-based symbolic manipulation”), assigning tasks based on the core concepts of “encoding” and “algorithm.” Some objects were electronic (music, twitter feeds) while the majority were physical objects, but they all made use of a procedural rhetoric sketched out by the original shape of the sonnet itself and the long tradition of scanning poems. In doing so, the objects produced force us to ask: where, exactly, do we “hold the light”? Is it e-lit if there’s no “e”?

7. Slow Media

   In 2010, the Slow Media Institute circulated a manifesto highlighting how the concept of ‘slow’ could be employed in responding to the pace of technological change in the 21st century. Making the link to other slow movements, the Slow Media manifesto emphasized the ‘choice of ingredients’ and ‘concentration in the preparation’. As Jennifer Rauch (2011) writes, attention to ‘Slow Media’ suggests that ‘we are observing a moment of transformation in the way that many people around the world think about and engage with mediated communication’.

10. Kid E-lit

    The Kid E-Lit exhibition showcases experimental electronic literature for children and teenagers alongside popular Nordic children’s and young adult’s book apps for tablets. The exhibition is organized in collaboration with Bergen Public Library and is funded by Nordic Cultural Point. The exhibition includes seven works selected from submissions to the ELO 2015 arts program as well as two works from each of the participating Nordic countries by Nordic researchers and librarians. The Kid E-Lit exhibition will be on display in the Bergen Public Library in August and September 2015, and the Kid E-Lit network will subsequently develop new versions of the exhibition to tour other Nordic libraries. A separate catalog in both English and Scandinavian language has been published and details the project more exensively.
