List(en)ing Post
Raley's essay is a careful and descriptive reading of Hansen and Rubin's interactive installation "Listening Post" paying particular attention to complexities of reading a textual work based on live information feeds contributed by an anonymous crowd, a literary work that is perceived as a live embodied experience in a multisensoral "polyattentive" environment.

Quantum Feminist Mnemotechnics: The Archival Text, Digital Narrative and The Limits of Memory
New technologies-- whether used for artistic or scientific ends--require new shapes to speak their attributes. Feminist writers too have long sought a narrative shape that can exist both inside and outside of patriarchal systems. Where like-minded theorists have tried to define a gender-specific dimension for art, Quantum Feminist Mnemotechnics demonstrates that feminist artists have already built and are happily inhabiting this new technological room of their own. This dissertation is an exploration of the architectural shapes of mnemonic systems in women's narratives in the new media (focusing on Shelley Jackson's Patchwork Girl, M.D. Coverley's Califia and Diana Reed Slattery's Glide and The Maze Game as exemplary models). Memory is key here, for, what gets stored or remembered has always been the domain of official histories, of the conqueror speaking his dominant cultural paradigm and body. I explore at length three spatial architectures of the new media: the matrix, the unfold and the knot.
