3. Preservation of Digital Literature: From Stored to Reinvented Memory

   Regarding preservation, the digital age is the most fragile and complex context in the history of humanity. the added-value of digital technology is thus not where one expects. The digital medium is not a natural preservation medium, but digital technology makes us enter another universe which is a universe of reinvented and not stored memory. From this point of view, digital literature can be regarded as a good laboratory to address digital preservation: it makes it
   possible to raise the good questions and presents the digital age as a move from a model of stored memory to a model of reinvented memory.

5. The Preservation of Complex Objects, Volume 2: Software Art

   POCOS is an outward-looking and thoughtful project which addresses topics of significant complexity for the preservation of digital collections. Preservation is challenging enough for relatively well-understood and self-contained data types like images and documents but the digital estate is increasingly about sophisticated interactions and interdependencies between software, hardware and people. Our digital memory is growing in scale, our interactions with it are growing more sophisticated, and the ways in which elements are constructed are growing ever more subtle. So the challenge is not necessarily getting easier the more we know about it. Those concerned with safeguarding our digital legacy must never fall into the trap of constraining digital creativity - but nor should they be so complacent as to think they can afford to ignore change. Instead of waiting for inspiration to come through introspection or individual genius, POCOS invited, persuaded and cajoled many people to consider the transience of our digital heritage. Three symposia followed, on broad themes of visualisation, software art and virtual worlds.

6. Documenting Events and Works in the ELMCIP Electronic Literature Knowledge Base

   This half-day workshop will be focused on the preservation and archiving of Electronic Literature Organization events and conferences. Scott Rettberg has been asked by the ELO board to establish a standing committee of ELO members that will be focused on documenting and archiving current and past ELO events. This workshop will be focused both on the future scope and projects of that committee and on the hands-on documentation of ELO conferences in the ELMCIP Electronic Literature Knowledge Base. We will consider questions including:

   What are the best practices related to archiving for ELO conference organizers?
   Should relationships be established with one or more libraries or archives to preserve data and ephemera from ELO conferences?
   How should we best go about gathering ELO archives materials and preserving them?
   How can we archive events using the platform of the ELMCIP Electronic Literature Knowledge Base?

7. Electronic Literature as an Information System: A Foundational Framework

   Electronic literature is a term that encompasses creative texts produced for printed media which are consumed in electronic format, as well as text produced for electronic media that could not be printed without losing essential qualities. In this paper we propose that works of electronic literature, understood as text (with possible inclusion of multimedia elements) designed to be consumed in bi or multi-directional electronic media, are evolving to become n-tier information systems. By "n-tier information system" we understand a configuration of components clearly separated in at least three independent layers: data (the textual content), process (computational interactions) and presentation (on-screen rendering of the narrative). In this paper, we build two basic arguments. On the one hand, we propose that the conception of electronic literature as an information system exploits the essence of electronic media, and we predict that this paradigm will become dominant in this field within the next few years. On the other hand, we propose that building information systems may also lead in a shift of emphasis from one-time artistic novelties to reusable systems.

10. Electronic Literature: Documenting and Archiving Multimodal Computational Writing

    The field of Electronic Literature comprises new forms of literary creation that merge writing, computation, interactivity, and design in the creation of writing that is specific to the context of the computer and the global network. While electronic literature is a field of experimental writing with a history that stretches back to the 1950s, it has grown most expansively in the late two decades. Forms of electronic literature such as combinatory poetics, hypertext fiction, kinetic and interactive poetry, and network writing bridge the 20th century avant-garde and practices specific to the 21st century networked society. Yet electronic literature has faced significant hurdles as it has developed as a field of study, related to the comparative instability of complex computational objects, which because of their formal diversity are often not easily accommodated by standardized methods of digital archiving, and are subject to cycles of technological obsolescence. Rettberg's presentation will address efforts to disseminate, document, and archive the field of electronic literature.
