1. Programming for Fun, Together

   Ever since computers have been programmed, people have programmed them together. From almost the first days of programming, people have also programmed them unofficially, for fun, to create literary and artistic works, games, and technically impressive feats that suggest new directions for computing.

   This paper look into how programmers have worked together in the area of creative computing, and provide a brief discussion of three types of creative programming practices.

2. Re:Mix

   What is transmedia narrative and what value does it have for contemporary remix artists? The traditional art and entertainment industries would have us believe that transmedia is a powerful marketing concept that uses new media technologies to aggregate fragmented audiences by delivering story information across multiple media platforms. But what about the fragmented stories being told by amateur-auteurs whose online personae remix their personal mythologies? These alternative transmedia narratives resist convergence yet also circulate in the networked space of flows. New media artists, many of whom identify with the historical avant-garde, can now expand the forms of transmedia narrative to foreground an anti-disciplinary [anti-authoritarian and interdisciplinary] approach to both contemporary practice and theory.

3. Remediating the Social introduction

   The proposition that Remediating the Social considers is whether creativity might be considered a property emergent from a multi-modal social apparatus rather than, as is more commonly assumed, an attribute of individual or collective human agency. This proposition has been formulated within the context of an expanded apprehension of individual and collective ontology that considers selfhood, at least in part, as a socially contingent construct and, in this sense, both fascinatingly and idiosyncratically, a creation of the social space from which it emerges and is sustained within. In this context creativity is apprehended as a reflexive property of the inter-agency of social interactions, rather than as an activity concerned with the origination of novel things or a capability invested in an individual or group of individuals.

   Remediating the Social seeks to explore this proposition through considering instances of practice that employ digital and networked systems, in their structure and function, and evidence these emergent characteristics in the processes involved in their making.

4. Spatial Remediations

   This paper "Spatial Remediations: Navigating the social constructs of the interactive documentary image in Inside/Outside, The Unknown Territories Project, and Estuary" introduces three original works that use features of interactive documentary arts to explore social constructions of places and their attending narratives. The three interactive projects that are introduced are Inside/Outside, The Unknown Territories Project, and Estuary. The paper asks how tools of layering, compositing and navigation through documentary imagery in photography and film contribute to an understanding of the connection between social relationships and a sense of space.
