Grafik Dynamo (Catalog)
Catalog published by The Prairie Art Gallery, with funding from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, featuring a printed sample of panels from the net art work Grafik Dynamo and a critical essay, "Graphic Sublime: On the Art and Designwriting of Kate Armstrong and Michael Tippett," by the literary and media-arts scholar Joseph Tabbi. Tabbi argues that Grafik Dynamo, like Scott McCloud's book Understanding Comics, enables readers to recognize how perception works and why a reduction of sense experience is necessary for the development reflection, communication, meaning, and narrative.

The Compelling Charm of Numbers: Writing for and thru the Network of Data
In postmodern times writing is different. With Facebook the personal diary has returned, reformulated for the 21st century. But this is not the diary as we use to know it. Here time gains a persistence and epistemological import and the person or persons recorded shift from being narrator to the quantified subject. This is not only a philosophical or psychological issue but also an economic and political one.

Of People Not Machines: Authorship, Copyright and the Computer Programmer
Authorship of computer programs merits close attention, on one level, because it illustrates what is one of my more general observations about the relationship between ideas of authorship in law and the "digital arts": its complexity. The sphere of "digital arts" is characterised by a multiplicity of creative practices and consequently a diversity of ideas about “authorship”, which resist simplistic conclusions as to what the challenge of the digital should mean for law. At the same time, the status of computer programmers as authors draws attention to what for modern lawyers is likely to be an unexpected and counter-intuitive observation about certain aspects of the relation between digital art and law: far from always a source of challenge, the discourses of authorship in the "digital arts" can also provide the law with assistance. Indeed, as we will see, in humanising technology and exalting the computer programmer as a creative poet, certain discourses of digital art can in fact provide coherence and legitimacy to legal concepts of authorship, rather than challenging them.

The New Gamified Social
How many friends do you have? How many followers? How many people have liked your recent post or video? How many shares or how many re-tweets did that post have? And then ultimately what is the total score? How influential are you?
These are questions that might not be openly asked but are always on social media users’ minds. Constantly looking after their “scores” and checking on the popularity of others’, users today clearly show that in the social networking world numbers matter. Numbers reveal how sociable users are, how popular their sayings are, how interesting their everyday life appears to be. High scores depend on the content, or rather the virtuosity of the user behind the content; on the way moments, actions and thoughts are captured, expressed and uploaded, in proper timing with a readiness for timely interaction.

R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX - an artist's presentation
This is an artists' presentation of the project R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX (remixworx) as a case study for Remediating the Social Conference.
R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX, the blog, began in November 2006 as a collaborative space for remixing digital art, visual poetry, e-poetry, playable media, animation, photography, music and texts. Since then it has grown to include more than 500 individual works of media, many strewn about in comment areas. Where possible, each new piece is remixed, literally or conceptually, from others on the blog and linked to the appropriate page(s). New work is welcome too because R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX needs to be fed. Source material is made available and all media is freely given to be remixed. Thus, the project has no single author.
