Electronic Literature Organization 2017: Affiliations, Translations, Communities (ELO 2017)
The ELO (Electronic Literature organization) organized its 2017 Conference, Festi-val and Exhibits, from July 18-22, at University Fernando Pessoa, Porto, as well as several other venues located in the center of the historic city of Porto, Portugal.
Titled Electronic Literature: Affiliations, Communities, Translations, ELO’17 proposes a reflection about dialogues and untold histories of electronic literature, providing a space for discussion about what exchanges, negotiations, and movements we can track in the field of electronic literature.
The three threads (Affiliations, Communities, Translations) weave through the Conference, Festival and Exhibits, structuring dialogue, debate, performances, presentations, and exhibits. The threads are meant as provocations, enabling constraints, and aim at forming a diagram of electronic literature today and expanding awareness of the history and diversity of the field.

Affiliations - Remix and Intervene: Computing Sound and Visual Poetry
In this exhibit, sound is represented as an overarching medium connecting the artworks displayed. Visitors of the “Affiliations” exhibit will find poetic works that radically explore language and sound. For the curators, sound is one of the fundamental aspects, if not the core, of experimental and digital poetics. Yet, as some writers and critics have pointed out - especially Chris Funkhouser, Hazel Smith, and John Barber - sound has not been sufficiently highlighted as a fundamental trait of electronic literature.
The “Affiliations” exhibit presents works that embrace appropriation and remix of older and contemporary pieces - be they merely formalist or politically engaged - as pervasive creative methods in experimental poetics. Furthermore, it suggests that electronic literature can be seen as a heterogeneous field of self-reflexive experimentation with the medium, language, sound, code, and space.
