1. Brautigan Bibliography and Archive: Digitizing a Literary Life

   I discuss the digitization of the literary life of author Richard Brautigan, a novelist, poet, and short story writer often cited as the writer to best capture the zeitgeist of the counterculture movement in San Francisco during the late 1960s and early 1970s. This digitization creates not only an archive, but a literary bio-bibliography as well, one that is written not from the perspective of an individual author or archivist (myself), but rather as an upshot of heretofore unachievable associations and interconnections of multiple kinds and sources of information (biographical, bibliographical, historical, ethnographical). The result is a 3-D knowledge base, a "data hive" with a unique and individual electronic literary presence

3. Elogio del texto digital. Claves para interpretar el cambio de paradigma

   Las mismas personas que, en el pasado sentimos un cierto rechazo hacia la idea de leer en una
   pantalla y alejarnos del romanticismo del libro, hemos terminado sucumbiendo en la tentación
   de comprarnos un libro electrónico. En la actualidad, estamos presenciando un momento decisivo
   en que la memoria documental de la humanidad está siendo transferida del papel a un
   nuevo formato constituido por las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación: el
   formato digital. Como lo defne Javier Celaya en el prólogo, Elogio del texto digital (2012) de
   José Manuel Lucía Megías, pretende ser un “quitamiedos” para todos aquellos que ven el texto
   en formato digital como una amenaza contra el libro impreso.
   Megías refexiona acerca del famoso debate, recurrente en conferencias y mesas redondas,
   sobre si el libro electrónico sustituirá por completo al impreso y si habrá consecuencias catas -
   trófcas en los derechos de autor y la distribución y publicación de los libros. Es común
   encontrar intelectuales que desprecian el acto de la lectura en una pantalla o que piensan que la

5. El libro que acabaría con todos los libros. La digitalización y sus efectos en la producción editorial

   El panorama que se abre ante nosotros, resumiendo, es el siguiente: 1) el autor ya no puede fijar con el editor una tirada, porque ésta se va produciendo como un goteo sin límite ni físico ni, en principio, temporal, aunque este factor tendería a cobrar más importancia que la que ahora tiene; 2) la obra puede verse fragmentada, lo que daría lugar a facturaciones diferentes y atomizadas dependiendo de los requerimientos de los compradores; 3) desde el punto de vista autorial, el concepto de "obra" como integridad se relativiza en beneficio de otro tipo de unidades menores. Esto puede llevar el riesgo de que los hoy existentes catálogos de publicaciones se conviertan en meras bases de datos en las que los compradores rebusquen y seleccionen el material que adquieren. El editor, en este sentido, pasaría a dejar de merecer tal nombre y sería, más bien, un gestor de la información con función empaquetadora, es decir, solidificar lo que el comprador ha seleccionado.

6. Más allá del papel. El hilo digital de la ficción impresa.

   Ante el despunte de los medios digitales en una cultura transformada por el hipermedia, por la inmersión en los espacios virtuales y por los nuevos hábitos sociales de lectura, el universo de la ficción que se nos ha transmitido de forma impresa comienza a replantearse su contexto pasado para hallar un espacio en el futuro. Este libro busca respuestas a una cuestión clave cuando hablamos de digitalización de obras de ficción previamente impresas: ¿es posible trasladar y de qué manera la memoria cultural del libro impreso a una memoria virtual caracterizada por el hipertexto, la inmersión audiovisual y la participación escrilectora?

7. Taro at the Center of the Earth

   The Taro at the Center of the Earth iPad application is a digitized version of the popular Finnish childrens’ author Timo Parvela’s first book about the character Taro (2010). The story is about a little boy and a bear’s journey to the center of the Earth, and is delightfully illustrated by Jussi Kaakinen. Taro makes use of point-and-click adventure game conventions to create an experience which is still quite close to a print book, but it manages to evoke more of a sense of exploring a fictional space than turning print pages by its unusual use of the spatial screen space. The individual panes follow each other either seamlessly in horizontal or vertical directions, depending on the movements of Taro and his bear friend, so there is no strong division between parts of the work, as is the case with book pages. The scrolling illustrations, which are only partially under the user’s control, help the user to identify with Taro in his exciting adventure, perhaps allowing for a tighter experience of emotion and immersion in the story.

8. Digitising Ariadne’s Thread: Feminism, Excryption, and the Unfolding of Memory in Digital Spaces

   Our contemporary digital age relies on the ontology of the hyperlink with its capacity to conflate time-space, which allows us immediate access to information in its varying forms of organization. The hyperlink brings texts, images, documents and modes of accessing information directly to our computer and mobile media screens, bypassing the old materialities and technologies for storage of cultural artifacts. Providing us with the fast convergence of information and cultural artifacts, it radically alters the manner in which we extend ourselves in time and space. Sybille Kramer argues that these changes are wrought through digital technologies that operate at the level of the subhuman and sub-perceptible level of the operation of digital code.

9. The metainterface spectacle

   With ‘interface criticism’ (Andersen and Pold) as an outset, we will address how the interface is in a transition from a closed system of interaction, to a dispersed network. More specifically, we are interested in how to relate aesthetically to this transition as a new mode of organization of the ‘masses’ (or ‘users’) that takes place in a cultural industry around metainterfaces. Following a path of critique from Benjamin, Kracauer, Crary, Hayles and others, we intend to discuss it as a new form of media spectacle: a ‘metainterface spectacle’ that simultaneously organizes the users, and offers a way of perceiving their reality as ‘cognitive assemblages’.

10. Not a Book: Locating Material Traces of Collaborative Print and Digital Technologies in the Archive

    Abstract: As a project that is situated between “the print” and “the digital” and as one that places print-based artifacts in conversation with digital artifacts, “not a book” is concerned with the histories, presents, and futures of books and the technologies of reproduction and replication used to make them.  Created from digital images of the traces left from the original copper engraved botanical prints on the interleaved blank pages of a digitized edition of one printed copy of an 1844 issue of “Flora Batava” magazine, the project reflects on and raises questions regarding just what a book is and was by delving into the history of “the” book as a collection of historically contingent technologies and social processes.  Seeking to document and understand how the material traces of bookmaking processes and technologies become legible in new ways once they are reframed and accessed in the context of new technologies of replication and reproduction, this project offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on the ways in which histories of print technologies are embedded in digital technologies and how
