  1. Strange Rain and the Poetics of Motion and Touch

    Mark Sample provides a close-reading of one work that takes advantage of the “interface free” multitouch display: released in the last year, “Strange Rain” is an experiment in digital storytelling for Apple iOS devices (the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad) designed by new media artist Erik Loyer.

  2. The Joy of E-Lit (Interview with Kathi Inman Berens)

    Kathi Inman Berens is a literary scholar with an enthusiasm for e-lit. Among many other activities, she co-curated with Dene Grigar MLA 2012 and then MLA 2013; and is now (as of early 2013) co-curating with her a new show, the first exhibit of e-literature at the Library of Congress.

    Her candidness about the difficulties traditionally trained literary scholars encounter when they read e-lit helps to humourize a situation that often staleley devolves into ideologies. Berens agile deft comedic scrutiny combined with a tactile sensual playfulness, makes her a formidable viewer and critic and in the future (perhaps) locative poet.

  3. Activist Media Poetics: Electronic Literature Against the Interfacefree

    For the last year or two I’ve been focusing most of my research and writing on the notion of ‘interface’ – a technology, whether book or screen, that is the intermediary layer between reader and writing. What I’ve found is that ‘interface’ gives us a wedge to approach the broad and complex question of how the reading and writing of poetry have changed in the digital age and how the digital age has in turn changed the way in which we understand what I call “bookbound” poetry. It seems to me that a discussion of digital poetry in terms of interface – a discussion whose methodology is driven by the field of Media Archaeology – could be a crucial intervention into both poetry/poetics and media studies in that it meshes these fields together to 1) make visible the Human-Computer interfaces we take for granted everyday; and 2) to frame certain works of electronic literature as instances of activist media poetics.
