Titled "State of the Arts," the symposium featured three nights and two days of readings, demonstrations, and concentrated discussions on the state of the arts of electronic literature. Major Sponsorship of the State of the Arts Symposium was provided by the Ford Foundation. Keynote speakers for the event included novelist Robert Coover, critic Katherine Hayles, and author and publisher Jason Epstein. The event was a "Symposium" in the truest sense of the word: each panel featured experts engaging in a lively interchange of ideas. These moderated discussions allowed the panelists to share their insights and engage in dialogue about their specific topic.

Electronic Literature Exhibit at the 2012 MLA Convention
A special exhibit of electronic literature at the 2012 Modern Langague Association (MLA) Convention, curated by Dene Grigar, Lori Emerson, and Kathi Inman Berens. "Electronic Literature" features over 160 works by artists who create literary works involving various forms and combinations of digital media, such as video, animation, sound, virtual environments, and multimedia installations, for desktop computers, mobile devices, and live performance. The works presented at this exhibit have been carefully selected by the curators because they represent a cross-section of born digital—that is, works created on and meaningfully experience through a computing device—from countries like Brazil, Canada, Australia, Sweden, the UK, the US, and Spain, and highlight literary art produced from the late 1980s to the present. Thus, the exhibit aims to provide humanities scholars with the opportunity to experience, first-hand, this emergent form of literature, one that we see as an important form of expression in, as Jay David Bolter calls it, this "late age of print."

Фестиваль поэзии на острове | эпизод: Новая Голландия
Очередной эпизод Фестиваля поэзии на острове — при поддержке культурного пространства «Новая Голландия» и на одноименном острове. Предыдущие эпизоды Фестиваля («Цистерны», «Отмель» и «Канал») проходили на протяжении последних трех лет в разных частях Канонерского острова и являлись экспериментами по приданию поэзии публичного измерения. (сайт Транслита) Из кураторского текста: <...> у поэзии, долгое время заточенной в своей дисциплинарной автономии, много общего с судьбой острова, на котором томился то ли лес, приготовленный для строительства кораблей, но так и не пущенный в дело, то ли заключенные морской тюрьмы. Известно, что еще в начале века с острова был пущен и первый радиосигнал, но, похоже, он так и не был никем получен. Только сегодня, в начале XXI века, рукотворный остров петровских времен становится публичным пространством, тогда же когда и поэзия стремится распахнуть свои рукотворные чудеса для широкой интересующейся аудитории — при сохранении характерных для нее сложности и неоднозначности, а также выйти из «тюрьмы языка» — навстречу междисциплинарным практикам видео, инсталляции и перформинга.

E-Lit for Children
Children seem to get e-lit long before their parents do. The idea that books might become magical or that poems might leap to life just makes sense to kids. So why not help them write it? One reason that is obvious to anyone who has written an unfinished overly ambitious branching narrative is that's it's easy to create a combinatoric nightmare or to end up with a terrible tangle of branches, leaving no time to create the text. Another reason is building these magic books takes a bit of technological knowledge that these digital-natives for some reason don't have from the womb (no fault of the womb). In this workshop, aimed at children, educators, and adult children, I will walk a group through the making of a choice-based micro-adventure using either Undum or Inkle. The goal will be to dive straight into the e-lit waters by writing a shared narrative within some tight constraints that ensure we will produce a story within the allotted time.

Fourteen recipes for a sonnet
This paper discusses a semester-long classroom project in which senior seminar students were required to take Shakespeare’s Sonnet 14 and convert it into various media objects and texts. The assignments made use of Ian Bogost’s “procedural rhetoric” (“a type of rhetoric tied to the core affordances of computers: running processes and executing rule-based symbolic manipulation”), assigning tasks based on the core concepts of “encoding” and “algorithm.” Some objects were electronic (music, twitter feeds) while the majority were physical objects, but they all made use of a procedural rhetoric sketched out by the original shape of the sonnet itself and the long tradition of scanning poems. In doing so, the objects produced force us to ask: where, exactly, do we “hold the light”? Is it e-lit if there’s no “e”?
