Spring 2020 Editors’ Note
In some ways, the COVID-19 pandemic brought us closer to the mission of The New River, even as it pushed our meetings apart. Since the beginning, The New River has dedicated a platform to emerging and established artists working at the intersection of digital art and literature. Excellent execution has always been one of our top priorities, along with innovative ideas and user-friendly engagement. We aim to challenge passive readership—a symptom of overindulgent screen time and existential Googling. The artists we have selected for the Spring 2020 issue of The New River compliment this vision and complicate the questions “what is art?” and “who is it for?”

Investigação-Experimentação-Criação: em Arte-Ciência-Tecnologia
Neste segundo volume da renovada coleção CIBERTEXTUALIDADES, dedicado à Investigação-Experimentação-Criação, no eixo Arte-Ciência-Tecnologia, reúnem-se especialistas de diferentes áreas do conhecimento, com reconhecido currículo científico e/ou artístico a nível nacional e internacional, e promovendo uma multiplicidade de abordagens, tão inovadoras e arrojadas quanto rigorosas e atentas. Não defendendo que as três componentes que serviram de mote a este volume sejam completamente indistinguíveis, a maleabilidade e o diálogo afirmaram-se, contudo, como critérios definidores para a estruturação do mesmo. Assumindo-se o esbatimento de fronteiras naturalmente existente entre os eixos apontados, os ensaios / poemas (visuais) / resenhas artísticas aqui reproduzidos distinguem-se, acima de tudo, pela sua natureza autorreflexiva e pelo seu cariz marcadamente multi/inter/trans e, por vezes, até mesmo, antidisciplinar.

Salon 5: June 12, 2020: E-Lit In the Wild
Rather than taking a lit-crit approach to a single piece of e-literature, we used this session to collect and discuss “e-lit in the wild”: works that we have found that often don’t have ties to the academic or artistic circles we traditionally look to for electronic literature. We created a Google Doc list of works we have come across that make interesting artistic and narrative uses of digital spaces, including customer reviews of products, interactive web comics, online bulletin boards, Reddit users, indie games and more.

Fall 2020 Editors' Note
Last March, halfway through assembling the Spring 2020 issue of The New River, we had to adjust to a fully online mode of collaboration. Between then and now, though a tremendous amount has changed, our mission has remained the same. Since its foundation, The New River has devoted its platform to emerging and established artists exploring the intersection of digital art and literature. The COVID-19 pandemic has shed new light on what it means to run a digital journal, especially at a time when so many of our daily interactions and responsibilities have, by necessity, shifted to the digital realm.
The work we have selected for our Fall 2020 issue helps us come into a deeper understanding of how this current period of crisis strips bare long-standing inequities and injustices, calling us to exercise a cache of empathy and compassion we might have never known before. These pieces demonstrate how art can be a guiding force through even the most turbulent times, pushing us beyond our private quarantine bubbles and back into the world, where art and creativity persist.
