5. Huis Clos / No Exit

   A work-in-progress presentation of a performance project. Abraham's describes a scripted telematic performance in which constraints and interface limitations fme the performance. She describes her work as performance to do research, and research as a medium and playground. Always an exercise in self-organization--the performances are not directed. The performance is a multilingual one about communication, miscommunication, and translation.

6. Performances Of Writing In The Age Of Digital Transliteration

   SUMMARY

    

   This paper addresses and attempts a reconfiguration of the theory and practice of writing (and/or language art) in networked and programmable media (hereafter, in this abstract, abbreviated as "npm").

   A number of problems provoke the paper's arguments, problems and concerns which arise from the current practice of language art in npm :

   - the problematic (non-)engagement of language artists (poets) with text-making in npm

   - the (non-)engagement of visual, cinematic, audio-visual artists (especially those who are currently working in npm) with practicing language artists

   - the identification of those characteristic of textuality which are proper to npm (this involves a critique of hypertext, when hypertext is seen as a definitive or determinative genre in npm ) and the relationship of these characteristics to demonstrable language art practice

   - the (mis-)assimilation by established literary culture of rhetorical technologies which are emergent in npm.

   Thus, while the paper's arguments are theoretical or expository, there is also an underlying agenda, which might be expressed in a more polemical fashion:

8. I like IRC & SMS

   Rita Raley's presentation focuses on the use of IRC and SMS in multimedia installations, net-based projects, and street performances. Projects discussed will likely include "Listening Post" (Mark Hansen and Ben Rubin), "RE:Positioning Fear" (Rafael Lozano-Hemmer), "Urban Scrawl" (Sushma Madan and Neil Noakes), "TXTual Healing" (Paul Notzold), and "Simple Text" (Family Filter). While the chat messages used in "Listening Post" are datamined rather than solicited, the other projects are instances of user-driven media. One clear tension to explore, then, will be that between surveillance and participatory culture. Other themes and issues will include public vs. private space, locative media, and electronic English.

9. Live Movies

   The presentation "Live Movies" will employ digital images and video clips to depict and discuss new media performance as treated in our recent book, Live Movies: A Field Guide to New Media for the Performing Arts. Live Movies documents the New Stage Technology Project, in which we have been engaged for the past five years at the Multimedia Performance Studio (MPS), and the work of our performance company, Cyburbia Productions. We will also discuss the Live Movies book as a resource for the field of new media art and performance.

10. Code: Redact <Redact>

    The "Codework Project" is an NSF (National Science Foundation) funded exploration of codework, language, performance, and embodiment, in relation to philosophies of the analog and digital. The exploration has resulted in exciting work at a leading edge of digital media practice. The project is based at West Virginia University, and continues several years of collaboration between the art/writer Alan Sondheim, WVU's Center for Literary Computing (CLC), and the Virtual Environments Laboratory (computer sciences). The work employs a range of technologies to map and remap the 'obdurate real' of bodies into the dispersions and virtualities of the digital (and back again, into real/physical spaces). We're working with both analysis and experience of coding and codework in order to understand the natures of the real and virtual. How is the real read? How is the virtual? Is reading even appropriate here? These questions play out in a series of artworks (videos, films, performance, installation) and theoretical texts.
