1. ELiterature Formalization and Pedagogical Implications

   This paper deals with the eLiterature formalization and its pedagogical implications. Firstly, it considers the pressing need of an official formalization of Electronic Literature. Secondly, it provides a proposal for the appropriate pedagogical theory and methodologies necessary to take advantage of the possibilities offered by New Media Writing in educational contexts. Finally, it offers some examples of possible pedagogical practices which adopt Digital Literature.

2. Ocotillo

   This is an artist's talk about "Ocotillo." It is a textual and visual work. The basic idea is to read from generated arrangements of textual strings, performing real-time versions of poetic works. These are not generator works but deliberate modifications within textual fields, a continuing stage in the evolution of this particular, and literary rooted form of practice. The objective of this creative work is to push these kinds of concentrated poetic textuality further, offering it as one possible direction in the field.

6. Writing the Web with RiTa and Javascript

   This workshop presented a hands-on introduction to the RiTa.js toolkit
   It is a toolkit for digital literature designed to work natively
   in web browsers.

   RiTa.js is an easy-to-use natural language library that provides simple
   procedural tools for experimenting with digital literature. The philosophy behind
   the toolkit is to be as simple and intuitive as possible, while still providing
   adequate flexibility for more advanced users. RiTa.js is written in 100%
   JavaScript and runs natively in popular web browsers. It is both free and opensource.

7. Archiving Workshop

   In discussions with many practitioners of E-Literature over the past two years, the subject of
   Archiving (a focus at the Brown Conference) continues as a major challenge in the field. The rapid changes that continue to take place as electronic media becomes more mobile and miniaturized have made even recent archiving techniques problematic. The establishment of specific author archives – and the methods for creating these – has also been developing in the last couple of years.

   In response to requests from several ELO Members, I am proposing a one-day Workshop Session on Archiving. This Workshop will take place on Wednesday, June 20, in the morning and afternoon before Registration and the Opening Reception. Proposed topics include: A. The Overall Issue - Tech changes in E-lit 1990 – 2012 – overall plans for Archiving; B. The Nature of Obsolescence - what software/platforms/works are currently threatened?; C. Technologies of Archiving - Where are we in this process - what kinds of archiving strategies are being used? What are the copyright issues?; D. Existing Archives and the future of Archiving. Do we want to mention the PAD document from ELO?

9. “III=II=I=I=II=III”

   A network- and laptop- distributed language art performance based on texts that have been processed and regenerated in terms of the typo- and orthographic dimensionalities of their supply compositions, with phrase selection based on indexed occurrence counts hacked from Google.

10. Reading Augmented Spaces and the Dimensions that Define Them

    Most new media work establishes interactivity within a curated installation space: a gallery, a festival, or an area whose purpose is to exhibit art. However, recent experiments in new media narratives have made use of the capabilities of smartphones and tablets to present experiences that are aware of the user’s position in space and
    even their current behavior or object of attention.

    Specifically,augmented reality works set themselves apart by re-contextualizing environments and objects encountered in everyday life, removing the fourth wall and blurring or eliminating an interactive experience's boundaries. This differs markedly from the purism of the imagination tapped by literature, and often even favors more realistic integration, in contrast to stylistic depictions and abstractions used in monitor-based works. Augmented reality’s strength and interest lies in how it embeds a story in an environment, or how it can be used to awaken new awareness of a viewer to their surroundings. This bridges the world of the reader with the diegesis of the narrative, resulting in works that react to the immediacy of the experienced space.
