2. Core Sample

   Core Sample is a GPS-based interactive sound walk and corresponding sound sculpture that evokes
   the material and cultural histories contained in and suggested by the landscape of Spectacle Island.
   The piece engages the extended landscape of Boston Harbor as bound by the new Boston Institute of
   Contemporary Art building on the downtown waterfront, and Spectacle Island, a former dump and
   reclaimed landfill park visible just off the coast. The two sites function dialogically, questioning
   what is seen versus what is not seen, what is preserved and recorded versus what is suppressed and
   denied. (Source: Project website)

3. The Carrier

   The Carrier is the first digital graphic novel meant to be viewed exclusively on the iPhone. The novel utilizes many of the features the phone has to offer such as the touch interface, web links to extra story input, and geolocation. Also unique to the work is the way in which the story unfolds: It is given to the user in real time. Like 19th-century novels and 20th-century comic books, The Carrier is distributed serially. Release of each chapter is timed to specific intervals that correlate to the hero's experience of time within the story. Story premise: a scientist wakes up in Bangkok with no memories and a briefcase chained to his wrist. As the scientist moves across the world, ancillary elements of his story are texted and emailed to the reader: recipes for Thai food, London weather reports, fake news headlines and the like. Annotated by Kyle Schaeffer.

7. Activist Media Poetics: Electronic Literature Against the Interfacefree

   For the last year or two I’ve been focusing most of my research and writing on the notion of ‘interface’ – a technology, whether book or screen, that is the intermediary layer between reader and writing. What I’ve found is that ‘interface’ gives us a wedge to approach the broad and complex question of how the reading and writing of poetry have changed in the digital age and how the digital age has in turn changed the way in which we understand what I call “bookbound” poetry. It seems to me that a discussion of digital poetry in terms of interface – a discussion whose methodology is driven by the field of Media Archaeology – could be a crucial intervention into both poetry/poetics and media studies in that it meshes these fields together to 1) make visible the Human-Computer interfaces we take for granted everyday; and 2) to frame certain works of electronic literature as instances of activist media poetics.
