We Descend: Archives Pertaining to Egderus Scriptor, Volume Two
Every writing addresses someone; this someone is often said to be the author's Ideal Reader. But "ideal" connotes a conceptualized, even perpetrated entity that is an entirely different creature from the real person one addresses when speaking. Now it may be useful to make this distinction in order to discuss, in the abstract, the *process* of writing, but the *practice* is wholly different: in writing anything, you address a real person, and, by addressing, conjure that person into your presence — the "materiality" of this being is, well, immaterial. When a real reader (in contrast to an ideal one) takes up an author's writing, she encounters not a voice speaking to *her*, or not to her directly: she comes in on a conversation already in progress, between the author and the person he is addressing in the writing. Given a sense of the occasion she has just joined, she will wisely keep still at first and pay attention, not just to the author's voice, but also to the silence of the other person listening to him at that moment. Thus she comes to know them both.

Cyborgs in the Mist
Cyborgs in the Mist is an enquiry which takes the form of a movie, a sound
installation, photo prints, and a book. The film presents the LOPH research lab
and its utopian proposals to struggle against the planned obsolescence of
humankind. Taking into account the development of robotics and artificial forms
of intelligence, the LOPH research lab experiments with ways to help humans
adapt to their new environment, and to put them in a position to fight against their planned obsolescence. How can we anticipate this shift in the logic of evolution?
How can we adapt to this change with a minimum of violence? Academic teams,
science-fiction writers, and new forms of artificial intelligence work together to
anticipate the most disastrous scenarios.(source: description from the schedule)

Fractalize 1: I've loved you from afar
FRACTALIZE is a hypermedia fiction project created by Tony Vieira, with Lesley Loksi Chan and Arthur Yeung. The first installment, ”I've loved you from Afar,” is a fractal reminiscence of a romance across space and time. Created for Supercrawl 2017, a four day art and indie music festival in Hamilton, Canada, Fractalize is intended to exist both inside a gallery space as much as within the audience member’s smartphone. Narrative “fractals” will be delivered over the course of the five day ELO Conference and Festival via email and social media, with intentional knowledge gaps that users fill in based on their own experience, anxieties, and desires. Users experience the project in the form of VR/360º video gallery exhibit, video walks, web videos, photographs, original music, text messages, sound art, Spotify playlists, and social media posts. Characters within the narrative have their own social media identities which are regularly updated over the course of the exhibition, creating a blurring of the lines that separate reality and virtuality.

Sacrosanct
Sacrosanct is a parser-based work of interactive fiction set in the bare halls of MIT.
Originally written for Nick Montfort’s class on Interactive Narratives, it invites players on a surreal, metaleptic quest to hand in an overdue final project. Taking playful liberties with conventional notions of narrator, narratee, and narrative, Sacrosanct explores the theme of transgression in many forms.Jane Lausten - 26.09.2018 - 15:26
