1. The Future of Literature in an Age of Digital Media

   Michael Joyce, author and professor at Vassar College, Steve Tomasula, author and professor at University of Notre Dame, and Jay David Bolter, Ian Bogost, and Maria Engberg from Digital Media/LCC spoke about how the literary arts respond and relate to an age of digital media culture. Some of the issues included:

   • What is the function of literature in a digital culture? 
   • How does our immersion in digital practices affect our reading and appreciation of literary texts? 
   • Has literature changed in response to a new digital aesthetic?

2. Cultures in Webs: Working in Hypermedia with the Documentary Image

   This CD-ROM explores how hypertextual writing and image-making merge in creating projects with nonfiction materials such as photographs, video clips, audio recordings and observational notes. The work includes two hypertextual field projects, one concerning a wine harvest in Burgundy, France, and the other concerning a series of performances in Ghana. The project uses an html-based format to weave among differing modes of writing and image-presentation. The section "The Harvest" was selected for exhibition in the 2001 ELO "State Of The Arts" symposium gallery. Based on two months of participant observation working the harvest at a small vineyard in France, the project combines diaristic writing, visual notes, dialog, exposition, and other forms of writing alongside a fifty-four image sequence. The work also includes videos and slide shows. "Concealed Narratives" offers two routes, interactive paths by which users travel to a series of public events in Ghana. The work explores how cultural battles are imagined and how stories get expressed through performances, visual tropes, and metaphors.

3. Trujillo poeem

   'Trujillo' spreekt voor zich en is pas geslaagd wanneer het spontaan tot meerdere lezingen/ herhaaldelijk bekijken aanzet! Het stelt tevens de romantische kunstenaarsopvatting aan de orde (met de roos als leidmotief): een beetje kunstenaar moet groots kunnen afzien. Anders gezegd een beetje schrikbewind legt de kunst geen windeieren: doe er vooral uw maal mee!

4. Sonne Ordklip

   "Netudstillingen SONNE ORDKLIP er delt op i 14 serier, hvoraf nogle er tematiske eftevanlige egensindigt encyklopædiske principper, mens andre mere direkte flugter langs et enkelt, gennemgående klip-ord, følgende står fast: DK-KULTUR-SOC, EGO-PSYK, GA, LITT, ZOO, ORD, BØ, BØRN, LIG, UD, SPROG, KUNST, MAD, LYRISK NATUR Det er tekster - eller hvad man nu skal kaldet det - der i deres insisterende overstadige leg med sprogets betydning og visualitet ikke kender deres lige i nyere dansk poesi. Vi skal helt tilbage til de gode, gamle dadaisters collager og montager - Kurt Schwitters’ f.eks. - for at finde konkurrencedygtige paralleller." - http://www.afsnitp.dk/aktuelt/10/sonneordklip.html

5. Paris Réseau/ Paris Network

   CD-Rom bilingue (français/anglais) pour Macintosh et Windows par Karen O’Rourke Paris Réseau restitue par la photographie, le son et l'animation interactive une image composite de la ville, où des traces de lieux sont confrontées aux souvenirs de personnes qui les ont connus. Il s’ouvre sur un plan de la ville. A mesure que l’on s’approche, l’image se pixellise, le sujet se dissout. Dans chacune des quatre zones, on parcourt les lieux différemment. Quatre regards, quatre temps, quatre dispositifs structurels. On aura toujours, même lorsque l’on se déplace, une vue fragmentaire, évoquant un hors champ plus vaste, plus complet, toujours hors de portée. On entre comme par effraction. Chacune des quatre parties a son propre système de navigation. 1. Six parcours. 2. Jogging au square de la Roquette. 3. Voyage autour de ma cour. 4. L’affiche blessée. L’une met l’accent sur les effets perceptifs, une autre nous incite à imaginer des gens et des événements que nous ne voyons pas, la troisième nous permet d’explorer et la quatrième autorise le bricolage des objets sur l’écran.

6. Concrete Poetry as Vehicle for Exploring Digital Materiality

   Digital materials protrude into the most intimate corners of our lives, are part of the architectures that shape our dreams and desires. Yet the modes of their production are comparably poorly understood. In the described talk, I provide a discussion of the status of concrete poetry as a tool for practice-based research into the characteristics of digital materiality. As long as we allow code to slip through the cracks of the collective imaginary, it remains easy for corporate actors to misrepresent the character and influence of coded infrastructures: It is imagined to exist elsewhere, in server farms, on the quantum physical plane of the infinitesimal, within the disembodied sphere of formal logic, but not among us, not as part of everyday reality.

   While its effects, social media platforms, word processors, smartphone applications, are part of everyday reality, its digital substrates seem not to be. Resultingly, code is allowed to have unobserved social effects. Those who control the conditions of its production and operation are free to deploy this invisibility for any strategic goal they see fit.
