Towards an Art of Rhetoric in Electronic Literary Works: The Figures of Manipulation
On the basis of electronic literary works, we can identify specific rhetorical figures in interactive writing: the figures of manipulation. It is a category on its own, along with figures of diction, construction, meaning and thought. For example, the figure of appearance/disappearance (responding to an action of the reader) is as a key figure among the figures of manipulation.
What is emphasized in such figures is the coupling action/behavior, which could be considered as a basic unit in interactive writing. This coupling can be conceived independently from the medias (text, image, video) it relies on. Thus, it seems relevant to have an a-media approach when defining an art of rhetoric in interactive writing.

Digital Arena: Ottar Ormstad - a yellow y in motion
Ottar Ormstad is a Norwegian concrete poet and digital artist. In this presentation he speaks about his print works and shows his experimental films.
The presentation comes along with a lecture "From Print to Kinetic Visual Poetry" by PhD Scholar Patricia Tomaszek (University of Bergen) who demonstrates how Ormstad’s print-based work intrinsically implies motion.
The series is produced by the University of Bergen Electronic Literature Research Group & Digital Culture Program in collaboration with the Bergen Offentlige Bibliotek.
This presentation is streamed live and recorded at http://bambuser.com/channel/bergenbibliotek
