  1. Radio Silence

    This essay takes a media archaeological approach to putting forward haunted media as theory of mediation able to address contemporary networked writing practices communicated across and through multiple media, multiple iterations, multiple sites, and multiple times. Drawing upon Derrida’s invitation to consider the paradoxical state of the spectre, that of being/not-being, this paper considers the paradoxical state of long-distance communications networks. Both physical and digital, they serve as linguistic structures for modes of transmission and reception for digital texts. Composed of source code and output, these texts are neither here nor there, but rather here and there, past and future, original and copy. The in-between state has been articulated in terms of ‘medium’ in Western philosophy since classical times. The complex temporaility of this in-between state is further articulated in this essay through Alexander Galloway’s framing of the computer, not as an object, but rather as “a process or active threshold mediating between two states”.

  2. "Flows Dream / Shapes Hold": Tijdsgebondenheid, Overwriting, en Remixen in Generatieve Dichtkunst

    Generatieve dichtkunst is een genre dat voor velen nog onbekend zal zijn. In dit artikel biedt literatuurwetenschapper Hannah Ackermans een nadere kennismaking met deze vorm van e-poëzie. Via een analyse van de online gedichtengenerator Taroko Gorge van Nick Montfort bespreekt zij hoe drie kenmerkende eigenschappen van generatieve literatuur, namelijk tijdgebondenheid, overwriting en remixen, spelen met het idee van auteurschap. In hoeverre is er nog sprake van een auteur als een algoritme de gedichten creëert?
