Turn on Literature
3 Libraries in Romania, Norway and Denmark have joined forces to “turn on literature” by creating 3 generative literature machines (poetry machines) and 3 authors have written texts for the machines. The poetry machine is designed to involve users in the creation of e-lit in the library space. Through a game-like interface the user combines the author’s sentences into a poem, which will then be printed onto a library receipt creating an intermedial translation. At the same time, the poem will be projected onto projection surfaces in the other participating libraries making the installation transnational. The poetry machine translates the concept of e-literature into a tangible object (a printed poem) and transforms the solitary activities of writing and reading into a social undertaking since three simultaneous users can interact with the machine creating a poem together. Our installation is located within the “Translations” strand of the festival. The festival in Porto will be the very first showing of the installation, which is an up-scaled re-design and re-writing of the Ink installation presented at the ELO conference in Milwaukee in 2014.

E-Lit in the Gutter: Applying McCloud's Transition Categories to Interactive Fiction
This is a speech by Ted Fordyce concerning the Scott McCloud’s "Understanding Comics" book.
The book is about symbolic and iconic representation, the relationship between word and image and the illustration of time. Ted Fordyce thinks it is really helpful for the digital works' interpretation.
The main point is the McCloud’s discussion of the gutter to link-oriented electronic literature: his thought is that the gutter is the result of the author + reader collaboration. There are six different transitions: in each of them, the author determines the type and the reader is the one who provides interpretations.
In conclusion, Ted Fordyce thinks that the McCloud’s discussion «provides us with a useful set of tools as both creators and readers of interactive fiction».
