1. The ELO and US Electronic Literature in the 2000s

   The Electronic Literature Organization was founded as a literary nonprofit organization in 1999 after the Technology Platforms for 21st Century Literature conference at Brown University. Today, the ELO is one of the most active organizations in the field, central to the practice of literature in the United States and its establishment as an academic discipline. This presentation will briefly outline the history of the organization, the ways that its mission, profile, and focus of has evolved and changed over its first decade, and offer some tentative insights into the ways that an institutionally structured community can facilitate network-mediated art practice.

2. Electronic Literature Publishing and Distribution in Europe

   A preliminary presentation of Publishing E-Lit in Europe,  a report detailing efforts to systematically survey and analyze the publication of electronic literature within Europe. Due to the immensity of their investigation and the limitations on what two researchers could achieve in three months' time, the authors emphasized that their report was a work in progress: at this point, they had been able to collect primary data about the publications, portals, collections, contests and other forums that supported the creation and distribution of electronic literature in Europe. The revised version of the report would feature more content analysis - of the type of material published and trends that distinguished various e-lit communities writing within specific linguistic and cultural traditions.

5. Early Authors of E-Literature, Platforms of the Past

   A detailed discussion of the exhibit “Early Authors of Electronic Literature: The Eastgate School, Voyager Artists, and Independent Productions” (now installed at the University of Washington). Grigar looks specifically at the major technological shifts in affordances and constraints provided by early computer interfaces and the ways in which e-literature writers from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s worked with and against these interfaces. For example, she discusses the command-line interface of the Apple IIe – which was released in 1983 – as an example of an interface that exemplifies an ideology wholly different from the now dominant Graphic User Interface. Thus, the command-line interface also makes possible entirely different texts and entirely different modes of thinking/creating such as that exemplified by bp Nichols' “First Screening” from 1984.
