Whisper Wire
Whisper Wire is an unheimlich poem, a code medium sending and receiving un-homed messages, verse fragments, strange sounds, disembodied voices, ghost whispers, distant wails and other intercepted, intuited or merely imagined attempts to communicate across vast distances through copper wires, telegraph cables, transistor radios and other haunted media. The source code of Whisper Wire is based on Nick Montfort’s elegant javascript poetry generator, Taroko Gorge, and the content is drawn from the early history of electromagnetic telecommunication technologies.

TRANS.MISSION [A.DIALOGUE]
TRANS.MISSION [A.DIALOGUE] is a computer-generated dialogue, a literary narrative of generations of transatlantic migration, a performance in the form of a conversation, an encoded discourse propagating across, beyond, and through long-distance communications networks. One JavaScript file sits in one directory on one server attached to a vast network of hubs, routers, switches, and submarine cables through which this one file may be accessed many times from many places by many devices. The mission of this JavaScript is to generate another sort of script. The call “function produce_stories()” produces a response in the browser, a dialogue to be read aloud in three voices: Call, Response, and Interference; or: Strophe, Antistrophe, and Chorus; or Here, There, and Somewhere in Between.

Digital Magic: Preservation for a New Era
Kirschenbaum makes an "argument for the importance of digital preservation while describing how how he accessed SWALLOWS via an Apple // emulator and then provided Zelevanksy with the original .dsk file from which he then created a new version of SWALLOWS (with audio and video clips mixed in) called G R E A T . B L A N K N E S S" (Source: adapted from post at loriemerson.net).

Network Archaeology
The Network Archaeology conference at Miami University, co-convened by cris cheek and Nicole Starosielski, brought together scholars and practitioners to explore the resonances between digital networks and “older” (perhaps still emergent) systems of circulation; from roads to cables, from letter-writing networks to digital ink. Drawing on recent research in media archaeology, network archaeology may be seen as a method for re-orienting the temporality and spatiality of network studies. Network archaeology might pay attention to the history of distribution technologies, location and control of geographical resources, the emergence of circulatory models, proximity and morphology, network politics and power, and the transmission properties of media. What can we learn about contemporary cultural production and circulation from the examination of network histories? How can we conceptualize the polychronic developments of networks, including their growth, adaptation, and resistances?

Теории и практики медиаискусства - 3
Нерв семинара — внимание к одному из наиболее популярных и перспективных направлений современного искусства, в котором художественная среда соединяется с наукой и разнообразными технологиями — информационными, телекоммуникационными, био-, нано- и прочими. Участники семинара совместно с приглашенными специалистами обсудят потенциал медиа искусства в трансформации наших представлений об окружающей реальности и то, как оно способно пробуждать фантазию и помогает предвосхищать будущее. Семинар будет состоять из двух частей — в первой с докладами на тему современных медиа практик выступят специалисты из различных областей знания: художник и программист Никита Рокотян, ведущий сотрудник Библиотеки им. В.Г.Белинского и арт-критик Марина Соколовская, исследователь и со-оснаватель проекта «Точка ветвления» Александра Болдырева. Вторая часть будет представлять собой круглый стол, посвященный археологии медиа. В течение него все желающие смогут обсудить проблематику и сокрытый потенциал забытых, устаревших и иным образом выведенных из оборота медиа технологий. Модератором круглого стола выступит куратор Уральского филиала ГЦСИ, руководитель программы «Искусство. Наука.

Gramophone, Film, Typewriter
Toward the end of the nineteenth century, the hegemony of the printed word was shattered by the arrival of new media technologies that offered novel ways of communicating and storing data. Previously, writing had operated by way of symbolic mediation—all data had to pass through the needle's eye of the written signifier—but phonography, photography, and cinematography stored physical effects of the real in the shape of sound waves and light. The entire question of referentiality had to be recast in light of these new media technologies; in addition, the use of the typewriter changed the perception of writing from that of a unique expression of a literate individual to that of a sequence of naked material signifiers. Part technological history of the emergent new media in the late nineteenth century, part theoretical discussion of the responses to these media—including texts by Rilke, Kafka, and Heidegger, as well as elaborations by Edison, Bell, Turing, and other innovators—Gramophone, Film, Typewriter analyzes this momentous shift using insights from the work of Foucault, Lacan, and McLuhan.

Notes on the Voyage: From Mainframe Experimentalism to Electronic Literature
Visiting Artist Talk presented by CE3C Lab at Alberta College of Art and Design, 7 February 2013.
JR Carpenter has been using the internet as a medium for the creation and dissemination of experimental texts since 1993. In this lecture she will explore much earlier works of Electronic Literature dating back to the 1950s, setting a critical and historical context for the vibrant and experimental field that we find today. She skilfully excavates layers of computer/ communication/network history to offer insight into contemporary practices. Through commentary, analysis, historical images, and examples new and old of computer-generated texts and other non-traditional forms of writing, speaking, and interacting, this talk takes a practice-led approach to navigating the ever shifting creative, critical, and political terrain of this fast-growing form of digital-expression.

A Site for Collaborative Reading of E-Lit
As scholars experiment with collaborative, multimodal approaches to analyzing electronic literature, the tools, methods, and practices of such collaboration become increasingly an issue. How do we share, edit, archive, and publish arguments that address and evolve across multiple types of data, platforms, and disciplines? How can the approaches (data visualization, code analysis, textual explication, bibliographic history, etc.) be shared in ways that other scholars can engage not just with the final interpretations but also with the processes that lead to them? Recent publications such as 10 PRINT CHR$ (205.5 + RND (1)); : GOTO 10, represent the value of such collaborative efforts in combining media archaeology, platform studies, software studies, and Critical Code Studies. Our own work in collaboratively close reading William Poundstone’s “Project for Tachistoscope: [Bottomless Pit],” which we presented at ELO 2010 (held at Brown University) and are now developing as a book for Iowa UP, has prompted us to reflexively consider how the processes of our own collaboration might prove generative to other scholars.
