1. "A Machine Made of Words by a Machine Made of Numbers"- Authorial Presence in Niemi’s Stud Poetry

   Primary Text: Marko Niemi’s Stud Poetry, a demo of which would run during the presentation.

   The paper opens with a brief discussion of the inherently conservative nature of the ELO’s definition of electronic-literature and the critical tendencies which this encourages. It has a strong focus on those critics who identify the forms which electronic literature has taken as an extension of modernist experimentation in the Twentieth Century, while disregarding the new possibilities which programmable media furnishes the poet with.

   These possibilities are manifest in Niemi’s Stud Poetry, a text which has been consistently overlooked since its publication, perhaps because it presents a challenge to the dominant critical trends. Stud Poetry cannot fully be understood in terms of print-based modernist experimentation, Dada or Burroughs, because it would be impossible to achieve without a computer program. Niemi wrote the code which ‘writes’ each poem/game.

2. The Face by Dürer: Intermedial Genealogies of German Physiognomic Science from Printed Book to Digital Art Bridged through an Online Keyword Thesaurus

   From a theoretical framework of cognitive semiotics, emotion history, and image science, Schiller’s scholarship focuses on the media genealogies of physiognomy, the science of facial expression, and digital biometrics. He analyzes how artists and scientists use media to interpret from the outside physiological behavior of the face the psychological phenomena inside an individual; the visual rhetoric of these methodologies; and how face images can inform display rules, social scripting, and truth claims for emotion in society. Schiller is also an internationally exhibited artist. Across the media genealogies of physiognomic science in the German-speaking countries, artists researching at the intersection of art, science, and technology have from the “form” [Greek physis] of the face “interpreted” [gnṓmōn] characteristics such as temperament and emotion.
