1. The International Interactive Fiction Community

   In this talk, I describe some details of how these communities have functioned over the years: What forums, chat systems, publications, competitions, directories, archives, and other sorts of institutions and traditions are used to build new aesthetic appreciations of IF, to enable people to learn more about programming, design, and writing, and to to connect IF authors and players. My analysis, which draws on my experience as a member of “the IF community” while also considering online artifacts and discourses could be helpful in other electronic literature communities. It will also consider how existing community activity could help to connect IF more effictively with poets, fiction writers, artists, and and others who work in creative computing.

4. William Poundstone and the Aesthetics of Digital Literature

   This paper will discuss the work of Los Angeles-based writer and digital artist William Poundstone. Poundstone, who makes his living writing books for a popular audience on subjects such as cryptography, philosophical and mathematical conundrums, economics and even a biography of Carl Sagan, has a growing, but still quite small, reputation as one of the most intellectually challenging, playful, and artistically distinctive web artists. His ““New Digital Emblems”” is probably his most ambitious work, and operates somewhere between a documentary about the history of visual and ludic writing——ranging across centuries and focusing most profoundly on the Renaissance emblem books——and an original artistic creation, as it includes several of his own ““digital emblems.”” Other works, such as ““Project for Tachistoscope,”” challenge our ways of reading as this narrative is presented as a mix of basic ““Wing Dings””-style iconography and text, presented in synch one image/word combination at a time.
