<<Chercher l’exhibition>> Curating Electronic Literature as a Critical Practice
This presentation focuses on curating electronic literature as a critical practice. Exhibits focusing specifically on Electronic Literature have been mounted at galleries, libraries, universities, convention spaces, and parks and other outside venues. The Electronic Literature Organization’s 2012 Media Art Show, for example, hosted exhibits in five different locations in Morgantown, including a community arts center, local gallery, the university library, a department’s conference room, and the city’s amphitheater, while the MLA 2012 and 2013 exhibits were held at the Washington State and Hynes convention centers, respectively. Exhibits of Electronic Literature are planned for U.S. Library of Congress in April 2013 and Illuminations gallery at University of Ireland Maymooth in March 2014, and in various locations in Bergen, Norway in fall 2015. This range of venues suggests a flexibility and appeal of Electronic Literature that is both scalable and broad. With these qualities in mind, the presentation will discuss questions including but not limited to:

Post-digital Books and Disruptive Literary Machines
The e-book has been launched several times during the last decades and the book’s demise has often been predicted. Furthermore networked and electronic literature has already established a long history. However, currently we witness several interesting artistic and literary experiments exploring the current changes in literary culture – including the media changes brought about by the current popular break-through of the e-book and the changes in book trading such as represented by e.g. Amazon’s Kindle and Apple’s iBooks – changes that have been described with the concept of controlled consumption (Striphas, 2011, Andersen & Pold, 2012). In our paper we want to focus on how artistic, e-literary experiments explore this new literary culture through formal experiments with expanded books and/or artistic experiments with the post-print literary economy. Examples of the first are Konrad Korabiewski and Litten’s multimedia art book Affected as Only a Human Can Be (Danish version, 2010, English version forthcoming) and our own collaborative installation Coincidentally the Screen has turned to Ink (presented at the Remediating the Social conference, Edinburgh 2012).

The Awareness of the Power of the Tool: the Author and his Practices
Notre présentation porte sur le rôle et les enjeux de l’outil-logiciel dans le processus de création des œuvres de littérature numérique. L'outil, sur lequel l’auteur s’appuie de plus en plus, conditionne l'expression de sa créativité. De notre point de vue, l’outil n’est pas neutre dans le processus de création et porte en ses formes, un risque élevé de standardisation. En étant immergé dans la logique de l’outil, l’écriture, au sens traditionnel du terme, est passée au second plan. Nous sommes plongés dans la visualisation des formes et dans l’outil-architexte. Nous sommes dans l’ordre de l’organisation visuelle de la pensée et des échanges. La mise en page met au premier plan certains éléments, en retrait d’autres, articule des formes et propose certaines pratiques. L’auteur, en s’insérant dans la logique de l’outil-logiciel et ses présupposés, peut tomber sous la fascination de celui-ci. Nous pouvons à ce titre nous demander si l’outil ne le domine pas, par la fascination qu’il exerce à son endroit.

A Humument app by Tom Phillips as a work of liberature: between text and embodiment
In my paper I would like to propose reconfiguration of “literariness” through the concept of liberature formulated by Zenon Fajfer and Katarzyna Bazarnik (Bazarnik, 2005), updated to some extent with the theory of affordances (Norman, 1990, 2004). The term which according to Bazarnik (2005) denotes a transgenre where content (text) and its medium form a whole, seems to offer rich theoretical possibilities – especially if “literariness” is to be conceived also as a media-specific, embodied yet emergent and contigent phenomenon (Hayles, 2002). However, the concept of liberature - set from the ouset as both a theoretical tool against a form/content dualism and means to study multimodality of a literary text – still offers an interesting proposition when it comes to instances of e-literature developed for touch screen devices. A particularly interesting example to illustrate such interrogations is The Humument App by Tom Phillips. It is a part of the ongoing project coming from the artist known, among others, from his cooperation with Peter Greenaway on TV Dante.

Architextualité et programmes d'écriture pour les textes interactifs littéraires
A quel point les outils numériques dont disposent les auteurs pour écrire des textes numériques interactifs prescrivent, formalisent, conditionnent, contaminent ou travaillent les œuvres produites? Pour répondre à cette question, nous nous livrons à l’analyse d’un corpus d’applications qui, même s’il ne peut être parfaitement exhaustif, se veut représentatif des tendances majeures de l’écriture numérique des textes interactifs à vocation littéraire. Une sélection d’œuvres emblématiques conçues à partir des programmes retenus approfondira parfois ce corpus.

Extending Embodiment Within the Knowledge Base
This paper investigates how the theoretical concept of embodiment and related keywords such as touch, movement, gesture and haptic appears within the current practice of tagging creative works in the ELMCIP Knowledge Base. It further suggests how this practice can be extended within the Knowledge Base platform both in terms of providing more precise tags, and through the forthcoming Platform content type which will give users the possibility connect specific hardware and software with a creative work. Finally, it presents the outline for a research collection that explores the notion of embodiment. The collection gives an introduction to relevant researchers, artists, creative works and scholarly works exploring the concept of embodiment and technology, in the hopes that such a framework can inspire the further investigation of works related to the field of electronic literature.
