Romy Achituv
Romy Achituv is an experimental interdisciplinary artist whose work engages issues of representation, language, time, and memory. Underlying his practice is an ongoing interest in the language of visual representation and in dynamics of spectatorship and interaction. His projects often employ the language and formal attributes of his media to fabricate structural and visual metaphors. His work in new media has focused on digital expressions of time and space, experiments in nonlinear cinematic narrative, and the exploration of non‐linear linguistic structures. In recent years he has developed a particular interest in projects that explore the manifestation of digitally inspired paradigms in physical environments. Romy Achituv’s work has been widely exhibited and has been acquired by major international public and private collections. He is a member of the International Academy for Digital Arts and Sciences, and a founding member of ARTEAM Interdisciplinary Art, a non‐for‐profit art collective based in Israel.

Kissing the Steak: The Poetry of Text Generators
Syntext, developed by Pedro Barbosa and Abílio Cavalheiro in the early 90s (later partially re-versioned on the World Wide Web), is a collection of fifteen computer programs from the 70s, 80s, and 90s that automatically generate various styles of poetry in DOS. Though the texts made by each of the programs are thematically unrelated, through these pioneering works by Barbosa, Nanni Balestrini, Marcel Bénabou, and others, each of the predominant fundamental attributes of text-generators is clearly divulged. Syntext, despite being primitive on the surface, powerfully brings to light the expressive possibilities, versatility, and variation within permutation texts, and provides sufficient evidence upon which a typology of computer poems can be established.

Alice Bell
My research interests are digital literature, narrative theory and stylistics. My monograph, The Possible Worlds of Hypertext Fiction, develops and supplements Possible Worlds Theory for its application to hypertext fiction. The text includes analyses of four canonical hypertext fiction works and also offers a theoretical evaluation of Possible Worlds Theory. In my current work, I am developing a number of other narratological and literary linguistic frameworks for the analysis of digital fiction including cognitive poetic and unnatural narratological approaches. I am the principal investigator of the Digital Fiction International Network (funded by The Leverhulme Trust Jan 2009 - Jan 2010). The network provides an arena for a new generation of scholars to collaborate on integral theoretical and analytical issues within digital fiction research.

Endless Text: New Media Technologies in The Raw Shark Texts
Since the digital revolution of the 1990’s, the ‘end’ of literature has been often proclaimed from both a utopian and apocalyptic perspective. While the former has imagined a release of the literary from the constraints of paper and print, in the animation of letters and words, the latter has lamented the end of reading and writing as ‘we’ know it. However, as clear as the opposition between the hopeful visions of theorists such as George Landow and the nostalgic lament of critics like Steven Birkerts may be, their respective stances are easily disclosed as two sides of the same coin: both the positive and negative presentations of the end of literature build on the subtext that literature ‘is’ something; an inside (a space, or a practice) that is either creatively challenged or threatened from the outside – as if it were a backward country or a country under threat, to be opened up and developed or protected respectively. This paper challenges such a distinction between inside and outside by reading ‘literature’ as an interface of other media technologies.

Distributed Narrative: Telling Stories Across Networks
A new kind of narrative is emerging from the network: the distributed narrative. Distributed narratives don’t bring media together to make a total artwork. Distributed narratives explode the work altogether, sending fragments and shards across media, through the network and sometimes into the physical spaces that we live in. This paper begins an investigation into this new narrative trend, looking at how narrative is spun across the network and into our lives. NB: Published under author's maiden name: Jill Walker.
