1. The ELO and Two E-Lit Exhibits

   After introducing the Electronic Literature Organization and some ways to
   characterize the concept of e-lit, I describe two small exhibits that
   worked well by taking the opportunities offered by two different contexts:

   Codings, an exhibit at the Pace Digital Gallery, Pace University, New
   York. Curated by Nick Montfort. Featuring work by Giselle Beiguelman;
   Commodore Business Machines, Inc.; Adam Parrish; Jörg Piringer; Casey
   Reas; and Páll Thayer. Gallery directors, Frank Marchese and Jillian
   Mcdonald. February 28 - March 30, 2012.

   Games by the Book, an exhibit at the Hayden Library, MIT, Cambridge,
   Massachusetts. Curated by Clara Fernández-Vara and Nick Montfort.
   Featuring work by Douglas Adams, Steven Meretzky, and the BBC; Charlie
   Hoey and Pete Smith; Jon Thackray and Jonathan Partington; and the
   Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab. September 7 - October 8, 2012.

2. Eviscerating the Antiseptic (Interview with Jason Nelson)

   Jason Nelson is a renegade geographer of glitch labyrinths: irreverent and lucid, his net-art poetry-games ( secrettechnology.com/ ) have enchanted (and annihilated) millions of (daunted and demented) surfers.

   In Nelson's poem-games, language coalesces into ricochet gif-licking flash-taunts which challenge poetry's traditional layout, rhyme, sanity and meter. Each reader must writhe and compete in order to unlock new verses and levels.

   These interface contortions obscure an ambivalent misanthropic visionary, which is a mere overlay to a deeper humanity, engaged with the tragedy of the lost human, adrift in a universe of demands, pressing buttons like a bitter rabbit hunting stars.

3. Minecrafted Meaning: The Rhetoric of Poetry in Game Environments

   This essay is a synopsis of my fourth chapter from my dissertation. My research consists of game-poems and how they fundamentally alter the experience of “reading” poetry. Ultimately, my argument is that poetic experience is no longer initiated by text, but by the kinetic, audible, visual, and tactile functions in the digital environment that I label as trans-medial space; in effect, these functions sustain the poetry experience, and, thus, require the reader/user of the poem to play, rather than read, as a new form of “reading” the digital game-poem in order experience and interpret a poem’s meaning.
