1. Out of Bounds: Searching Deviated Literature in Audiovisual Electronic Environments

   In this presentation I propose a close/distant reading of some Argentinean e-poetry works –Migraciones and Outsource me! by Leonardo Solaas and TextField, Eliotians and some of the works of The Disasters by Iván Marino– in order to pose a debate concerning the development of e-poetry in audiovisual electronic environments, particularly e-poetry created by artists/programmers who hardly would defined themselves as poets or writers.To what extent one should still speak about literature concerning this kind of works? Is it possible to find a literary impulse in contexts where literature has lost its privileges and migrates “out of bounds”? If the artists mentioned above lean themselves into literary traditions, why are their works more frequently regarded by visual art critics rather than literary critics? I argue that the works analyzed enable us to resituate literature in inter/trans media contexts, which nevertheless are readable in terms of literary effects.

3. Probing the gaps between datasets and interfaces in electronic literature

   The contrast between the conceptual and material realities of data harvesting and of digital interfaces is a captivating subject matter I will tap into to make visible the physicality of the internet and to subvert destructive dominant, colonial narratives with respect to the natural environment and climate. 

   This intervention will use poetry and photography/video as electronic literature to shed light on the conceptual language used online (e.g., on social media, corporate websites, online magazines, etc.) to discuss datasets in relationship to digital interfaces. Furthermore, it will address an identifiable gap within this language, which can be viewed in the production of massive amounts of electronic waste.
