1. The Network as a Space and Medium for Collaborative Interdisciplinary Practice

   This conference will focus on the increasing use of the network as a space and medium for collaborative interdisciplinary art practices including electronic literature and other network based art forms. Researchers will present papers exploring new network-based creative practices that involve the cooperation of small to large-scale groups of writers, artists, performers, and programmers to create online projects that defy simple generic definitions and disciplinary boundaries. Topics might include online collective narratives, durational performances, evolving networked publication models, creative commons and open source art, remixes, and mashups. The seminar will be organized by the LLE Digital Culture group and will invite contributions from about 20 international researchers and artists. In addition to the scholarly seminar Nov. 9th and 10th at the University of Bergen, two evening programs will take place Nov. 8th and 9th at Landmark Café at Bergen Kunsthall, to showcase innovative work and will be open to the public.

2. 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?

3. ISEA2015 Disruption

   ISEA2015’s theme of DISRUPTION invites a conversation about the aesthetics of change, renewal, and game-changing paradigms. We look to raw bursts of energy, reconciliation, error, and the destructive and creative forces of the new. Disruption contains both blue sky and black smoke. When we speak of radical emergence we must also address things left behind. Disruption is both incremental and monumental. In practices ranging from hacking and detournement to inversions of place, time, and intention, creative work across disciplines constantly finds ways to rethink or reconsider form, function, context, body, network, and culture. Artists push, shape, break; designers reinvent and overturn; scientists challenge, disprove and re-state; technologists hack and subvert to rebuild. Disruption and rupture are fundamental to digital aesthetics. Instantiations of the digital realm continue to proliferate in contemporary culture, allowing us to observe ever-broader consequences of these effects and the aesthetic, functional, social and political possibilities that arise from them.

4. La palabra en las periferias de la tecnología

   La aparición de nuevas tecnologías y su crecimiento exponencial desde hace varias décadas ha cambiado nuestra manera de entender el conocimiento. Aunque ya es un tema que forma parte del background contemporáneo, no está de más recordar que la cultura digital y las posibilidades de internet han supuesto un cambio radical, solo comparable, según Alejandro Baricco, a la revolución de la imprenta. La incorporación de la red y de los recursos transmedia al entorno literario está propiciando nuevas poéticas; nuevas formas de textualidad que, según Joan-Elies Adell, desbordan el libro y convierten el ordenador o cualquier dispositivo móvil en el espacio natural de la obra. Hipertexto, interacción, videojuego… La esencia misma de la literatura está mutando. Escritores que piensan la palabra de forma conjunta al código HTML, a la geolocalización, al processing u otras herramientas de programación. Con sus creaciones vienen a expulsarnos de nuestras áreas de confort literario. Hablamos de trabajos pensados para la red, ese nuevo ágora. Hablamos de obras hipermedia que, frente a la oralidad o la tradición impresa, investigan dentro de lo que Ernesto Zapata define como electronalidad.
