1. Porting E-Poetry: The Case of First Screening

   This presentation seeks to examine issues around the practice of porting electronic literature,
   particularly E-poetry by examining the case of First Screening by bpNichol, a Canadian poet who
   programmed a suite of e-poems in Apple BASIC in 1984. This work was preserved, documented, ported, curated, and published in Vispo.com in 2007 by a collaborative group of poets and programmers: Jim Andrews, Geof Huth, Lionel Kearns, Marko Niemi, and Dan Waber. This publication consists of a curated collection of four different versions of First Screening which I will analyze in my presentation:

   1. The original DSK file of the 1984 edition, which can be opened with an Apple IIe emulator, along with the Apple BASIC source code as a text file, and scanned images of the printed matter
   published with the 51/4 inch floppy disks it was distributed in.

   2. A video captured documentation of the emulated version in Quicktime format.

   3. The 1993 HyperCard version, ported by J. B. Hohm, along with the printed matter of that
   published edition.

   4. A JavaScript version of First Screening ported by Marko Niemi and Jim Andrews.

2. Non-Translation as Poetic Experience

   In my paper I present some points of view concerning strategies for experiencing electronic literature and art made in different languages, and suggest ways for dealing with language diversity in electronic literature. Although educated as a sociologist, I am not a researcher but an artist, and use some of my own works of concrete and digital poetry as a basis for my presentation. This includes two paper-based works of concrete poetry (audition for fenomener uten betegnelse and bokstavteppekatalogen), the screening of my first work of video–poetry LYMS (2009) and my latest film “when” (2011). Because of the nature of my works – and a lot of different works in the world of e-lit – I use the concepts literature and art in a broad sense.

3. Post-Processing Translations of E-Lit Works and Scholarship

   The workshop is meant to make use of the present scholars from diverse language backgrounds as a resource to document their field in their original language. It focuses in particular on documenting works and papers written in languages other than English and seeks to draft translations for descriptions. An endeavour all those who do not have an understanding of a respective language, are dependent upon in order to give a particular language community the visibility they are in need of to allow appropriate scholarship in a particular nation.

   A work without translation is a blind spot in research for those unfamiliar with its language of origin. The English translation provides, at least the chance to be recognized in research and offers a starting point for a dialogue with its author.

   Cultural and Linguistic Diversity - Features in the Knowledge Base

   As an international project, the linguistic diversity in the field of electronic literature is respected, welcomed, and taken into account within the implementation of various features in the knowledge base:
