At the Time of Writing: Digital Media, Gesture and Handwriting
This paper examines the way literary practice in digital media illuminates traditional literary processes that otherwise remain unremarked, and conversely, what the literary concept of ‘address’ might contribute to an understanding of the way digital media are reinventing literary agency. It explores handwriting as an embodied praxis linking thought with corporeality through the medium of gesture, and its transformations in text-based new media art. Handwriting (and especially signatures) has long been thought to make personality traits manifest. Its expressive gestural and kinematic aspect can be illuminated by Werner’s theory of physiognomic perception in which two-dimensional diagrams are shown as consistently corresponding to and eliciting a small number of categorical affects (happy, sad, angry) in viewers. Diane Gromala’s ‘Biomorphic Typography’ (2000 onwards) in which the user’s keystrokes generate biofeedback input which combines with the behaviours assigned to typography to animate text in the present time of writing draws on these conventions and complicates them in the process.

Reversed Remediation. How Art Can Make One critically Aware of the Workings of Media
Reversed Remediation
A Critical Display of the Workings of Media in Art
By Saskia Isabella Maria Korsten
JIn this paper I distinguish between the theories of remediation and reversed remediation and apply this theoretical foundation to new media art that exemplify what I call ‘reversed remediation’.

XS, S, M, L Creative Text Generators of Different Scales
Creative text generation projects of different sizes (in terms of lines of code and length
of development time) are described. “Extra-small,” “small,” “medium,” and “large”
projects are discussed as participating in the practice of creative computing differently.
Different ways in which these projects have circulated and are being used in the
community of practice are identified. While large-scale projects have clearly been
important in advancing creative text generation, the argument presented here is that
the other types of projects are also valuable and that they are undervalued (particularly
in computer science and strongly related fields) by current structures of higher
education and academic communication – structures which could be changed.(Source: Author's Abstract)

Collapsing Generation and Reception: Holes as Electronic Literary Impermanence
This essay discusses Holes, a ten syllable one-line-per-day work of digital poetry that is written by Graham Allen, and published by James O’Sullivan’s New Binary Press. The authors, through their involvement with the piece, explore how such iterative works challenge literary notions of fixity. Using Holes as representative of “organic” database literature, the play between electronic literature, origins, autobiography, and the edition are explored. A description of Holes is provided for the benefit of readers, before the literary consequences of such works are examined, using deconstruction as the critical framework. After the initial outline of the poem, the discussion is largely centred around Derrida’s deconstruction of “the centre”. Finally, the literary database as art is re-evaluated, drawing parallels between e-lit, the absence of the centre, and the idea of the “deconstructive poem”.

The Machine in the Text, and the Text in the Machine
"The Machine in the Text, and the Text in the Machine" is a review essay on Electronic Literature: New Horizons for the Literary (University of Notre Dame, 2008) by N. Katherine Hayles, and Mechanisms: New Media and the Forensic Imagination (MIT Press, 2008), by Matthew G. Kirschenbaum. Both works make remarkable contributions for the emerging field of literary studies and the theory of digital media. While Hayles analyses the interaction between humans and computing machines as embodied in electronic works, Kirschenbaum conceptualizes digitally at the level of inscription and establishes a social text rationale for electronic objects.
