  1. Editor's Introduction: Reconfiguring Place and Space in New Media Writing

    This installment of the Iowa Review Web explores the function of place and space in recent new media writing. Each of the four interviews concern works that in some way attempt to reconfigure our understanding of the relationship between space and storytelling. Each of the primary works discussed in these interviews also pushes space in another sense, in that each attempts to explore a new "possibility space" on the boundary between different forms and fields of multimedia experience: between story and game, between game and drama, between literature and conceptual art, between game and performance. The introduction contextualizes the narrative function of space in a number of recent works of electronic literature.

  2. Narrative Archaeology and the New Narrativology

    To reconsider narrative and its relationship to new media one must look at the spatial possibilities and rich subtext already present in the cities and roads away from hypertext and screen specific data forms. The majority of work dealing with gps is emphasizing the leaving of traces, of another layer to enhance. This misses a huge area of potential. The city spaces can now be "read" in all the layers of architecture, ethnography, layers of land usage, and the narratives of people lost in time. Writing can become one of a story space constructed of fictive detail to establish story space AND the details of the steets and buildings themselves and their details (much of which is unkown to most who pass them). Juxtaposition, experiential metaphor, a sense of not V.R with one still in one world in active in another as story space, but active in both. The new writing form creates a new sense of detail and metaphor as well as of process itself, with many exciting new possibilities.
