German Net Literature: In the Exile of Invisibility
German net literature had an early and very public start through competitions organized in 1996-8 by the major newspaper Die Zeit and IBM, but was declared dead or stillborn immediately afterwards. Consequently, net literature became a subject of controversy between artists, theorists, and literary critics from which not only a strong community evolved but also a literary system. In this system, competitions served as public, peer-reviewed mediators for net literature and became an important feature of “post-processing.” Since the end of the 90s however, German net literature became slowly invisible. The lack of public awareness of net literature is common to many countries. Post-processing is a key for public visibility and according to Siegfried J. Schmidt et al. an important component in a literary system. In search of reasons for the state of invisibility of German net literature, I analyze mechanisms of post-processing in our community, which I regard as a literary system. This descriptive synopsis is the first paper in an upcoming series that opens up questions towards the role of peer-review, public reception, and artists' community-building.

From Theo Lutz to Netzliteratur. The Development of German-Language Electronic Literature
How and where would we have to begin if we want to bring the rather diverse
German-language scene of net literature to a closer attention of our European colleagues?
This definitely is no easy task, since today there are virtually no forums and archives of
German-language net literature existing anymore. Therefore it may not be possible to get an
accurate picture of the last 20 years’ net literature. Many sites and forums have been deleted
from the net, while others remain virtually inactive for years and have to be perceived as
internet archive corpses. A few are still active and provide material for current discussions.Source: Author's Introduction
