3. Cross-­Referenced E-­Lit and Scholarship: The ELMCIP Knowledge Base

   The ELMCIP-Knowledge Base (Electronic Literature as a Model of Creativity and Innovation in Practice) provides researchers, students, and a general audience of electronic literature new ways of accessing existing scholarship in the field. With a special focus on cross-references, the relational database documents the field of research and creative practice in electronic literature. While focusing on the display of social entities and geographical roots, connections between actors and works in the communities field become visible. The strength of the database lies in the variety and cross-referenced nature of record types that feed the database: author, creative work, critical writing, event, organization, publisher, and teaching resources are being documented and referenced. In this talk, I will present suggestions how to integrate the ELMCIP-Knowledge Base into regular writing, research, and teaching practices.

5. GENERATION[S]

   GENERATION[S] expands upon a series of short fictions generated by Python scripts adapted (with permission) from two 1k story generators written by Nick Montfort, and incorporates GORGE, a never-ending tract spewing verse approximations, poetic paroxysms on food, consumption, decadence and desire, a hack of Montfort’s elegant poetry generator Taroko Gorge. There was only one rule in creating GENERATION[S]: No new texts. All the texts in this book were previously published in some way. The texts the generators produce are intertwined with the generators’ source code, and these two types of texts are in turn interrupted by excerpts from the meta narrative that went into their creation. Most of the sentences in the fiction generators started off as Tweets, which were then pulled into Facebook. Some led to comments that led to responses that led to new texts. All these stages of intermediation are represented in the print book iteration of GENERATION[S].

6. Det siste utbruddet / The Last Volcano

   This video project explores Norwegian folk histories that return as fragments in light of ongoing volcanic eruptions. The project was recorded in Bergen following the disruptions caused by the activities of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland. A folk history of disaster is set against slowly revolving images set in a contemporary landscape. This is the first of a series of works recorded in Norway that juxtapose folk histories and contemporary events to explore narrative and associative characteristics of cultural anxieties and collective memory. The project was researched and filmed by Roderick Coover in 2010 thanks to a distinguished-scholar-in-residence award from the University of Bergen.

10. Memory and Motion: The Body in Electronic Writing

    Maria Angel and Anna Gibbs explore the new materialism of the corporeal body in electronic writing and online environments. They argue that electronic environments have a strong relationship with affective modes of communication highlighted by their appeal to sensory novelty through technological innovation—new media platforms proliferate the potentials for combining visibility with aural and tactile modes. Their essay argues for a new materialism in electronic culture, one that has serious implications for the way that we understand memory.
