i-Docs
A lab/symposium dedicated to the rapidly evolving field of interactive documentary
In an era of pervasive computing, social media and a networked ‘information society’, digital documentary is embracing new forms. Web-docs, docu-games, photo-reportages, trans-media projects and locative narratives are developing new languages of factual communication that challenge the established linear narrative of documentary. i-Docs is the first lab/symposium to be dedicated to the rapidly evolving field of interactive documentary. The symposium will be a day-long event to showcase new projects and to discuss the artistic, economic and political implications of new forms of factual representation.

ELMCIP Seminar on Digital Poetics and the Present
This seminar is one of the ELMCIP events and is organised by Yra van Dijk at the University of Amsterdam.
In recent years, both criticism and practice of digital literature have created a theoretical basis for the approach of the new artform. Ideas have been brought forward on the historical, contextual and institutional embedding of digital literature. Critics have proposed various ways to analyze the hybrid that digital literature is and have emphasised the necessity of a ‘media-specific analysis’. Now the time has come to look closer at techniques and effects of digital literary works, and at the contemporary contexts in which they are created. Digital literature does not operate in isolation: it is in all respects a contemporary artform. The seminar focusses on this question of digital ‘poetics’, understood as the question to the nature and the value of the work, both in criticism as in practice itself.
In addition to the scholarly presentations during the days, there are evening performance events.

GVU Brown bag: Catharsis and Flow: Two Modes in Our Media Culture
This talk is not a report on a particular project; it is an attempt to reflect on the state of our mediascape today, which is made up of both traditional media (such as film, television, and music) and new digital forms that we here in the GVU are helping to create. Today's media can be characterized by a productive tension between catharsis and flow. For example, popular film aims to provoke catharsis, an emotional release through identification with a main character, while videogames and some contemporary music aim through repetition to induce in their audience a state of engagement that the psychologist Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi has famously named “flow.” We can think of flow and catharsis as individual, psychological reactions to our media, but they also define different strategies for media producers and designers. These two modes compete and cooperate in a variety of entertainment forms and industries, and their interaction defines our media culture at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
