  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. Performing the Digital Archive: Remediation, Emulation, Recreation

    The aim of ‘PO.EX '70-80: A Digital Archive of Portuguese Experimental Literature’ (http://po-ex.net/) is to represent the intermedia and performative textuality of a large corpus of experimental works and practices in an electronic database, including some early instances of digital literature. This paper shows how the performativity of digital archiving and recoding is explored through the remediation, emulation and recreation of works in the PO.EX archive. Preservation, classification and networked distribution are also discussed as editorial and representational problems within the current database aesthetics in knowledge production. (Project reference: PTDC/CLE-LLI/098270/2008).
