   In an effort to preserve works of electronic literature, ELO has developed the ELO Repository that collects and/or manages online journals, works of electronic literature, community archives, and other digital materials for other organizations and makes them available to the public.  The development process, tools used, and the aims and purposes of the project were discussed.

3. Salon June 8 2021: Playable Comms

   Playable Comms is an interdisciplinary, collaborative network of projects with the aim of examining interactive digital narratives (IDNs) as tools for educating audiences on topics of science and health. More specifically, the research evaluates the efficacy of using IDNs for health and sci-comm, attempting to measure message uptake from outright rejection to holistic adoption engendering associated behavioural change. As a practice-based practitioner/researcher composing IDNs and evaluating their efficacy on multiple projects, I aim to develop a model for health and science communication through reading and writing IDNs that can be implemented in a wide array of scenarios and topic areas.

4. Salon July 13 2021: Structuring Metadata for Born-Digital Literature for The NEXT: What Artists, Editors, Scholars, and Collectors Need to Know

   This presentation details how to structure metadata about born-digital literature for collections in The NEXT. It introduces the extended metadata schema the Electronic Literature Lab (ELL) utilizes for The NEXT, showing both how information displays on the front end of the spaces, as well as organized on the back end for the database.

   Leading the discussion is Dene Grigar, Director of ELL and the Managing Director and Curator of The NEXT, and Richard Snyder, Assistant Director of ELL and the Metadata Specialist for The NEXT.

   If you currently have works held in The NEXT or are thinking of donating them in the future, this presentation will shed light on the process undertaken to ensure works are accessible and provide precise information about them. Participants will leave the presentation with a copy of both the schema ELL is using and an metadata spreadsheet template for their own use.

6. Salon September 14, 2021: Making Digital Glamour: Queer Femme Internet Aesthetics

   This fun, playful, one-hour workshop explores the queer femme aesthetic--and all are welcome!  What’s a queer femme aesthetic? I conceptualize it as a hyper-saturated, self-conscious, postmodern, performative femininity. Glitter, sequins, lip gloss, nail polish, dELiA*s magazine, ‘90s neon pink and slime green. Digitally, the queer femme aesthetic was innovated in spaces like Tumblr and MySpace, with tools like Blingee and Angelfire Dollz. Of course, there is no one definition of a queer/femme digital aesthetic, though I’d argue that the nail polish emoji is pretty key! Queer femme internet aesthetics often intentionally subvert minimalist design principles and usability heuristics, making the user aware of the platform/medium rather than concealing it.

7. Salon: October 12, 2021: Share to Heal Workshop

   Aims of this workshop  

   ·  To share a personal, social or collective story which has impacted us.  

   ·  To exchange stories, which will be randomly assigned to each participant, with the aim of healing the issues, as set out in the story, and take them as inspiration to develop creative proposals. 

   ·  Community building through meaningful conversations

    

   The platform helps to gather, distribute the stories amongst the participants by shuffling them. Each participant is allocated a story from another participant and they are given some time to read the story and come up with a creative proposal, inspired by the issues in question originated from the text, to create a generative poem, create a podcast, an audio piece, a blog, an interactive co-creative piece… you can be as creative and imaginative as you want in creating a proposal!

9. Salon Jan 11, 2022: Figurski on the Radio!

   Radio made the hypertext star! and Richard Holeton and John Barber will introduce the radio adaptation of the Famous Figurski at Findhorn on Acid!

   Join us as we merge technologies and adapt to radio and sound in a favorite work.

   About this work:
   What began as a pioneering work of electronic literature is now a radio theatre performance. But it took more than twenty years for this to happen.

   Richard Holeton first published Figurski at Findhorn on Acid in 2001 using Storyspace software. This novel length, comedic hypertext featured thousands of links, three main characters, three significant locations, one (perhaps two) mechanical pigs, and yes, THAT acid. Wild acclaim followed initial publication.

10. Salon February 8, 2022: Elit can save the world! Maybe?

    No world for tomorrow? Or worlds of e-lit tomorrows? How can we engage communities in crises using social media and electronic lit? Lyle Skains  recent digital fiction includes No World 4 Tomorrow for the You & CO2 project, and Only, Always, Never for the Infectious Storytelling project; both works were designed to effect social change. We'll talk about how works can be designed to effect change, how to measure reader engagement, and what elit can do for our planet.
