1. Snapchat elit

   Can a snapchat story also be electronic literature? I’m fourteen years old and I think so. Micro-video sharing apps constitute new ways to share our lives and new ways to circulate fiction, documentary works and poetry. The storytelling itself may be linear, but these are born-digital, aphoristic, networked and experimental. A snapchat story can selectively document a day, but it can also force a fictional piece into a highly constrained form. Finally, Snapchat is built on the idea of ephemerality—a Snapchat story is designed to vanish in 24 hours. For the Festival I propose one of two things—either a snapchat story captured on video that can be shared via computer or phone or, a true Snapchat story, available only for a 24 hour period during the Festival.

2. Augmented beasts: AR pop-up book

   Augmented beasts builds on some of my experiences and preoccupations in the book world – my books on circus, optical illusion (Painted Circus), visual experiences that weave together unusually coupled animals (Mixed Beasts) and animals who live, for example, in strange Victorian Houses (Alphabeasts). It is also indebted to my fascination with magic and, of course, by the possibilities I see in the emerging medium of augmented reality itself for children: being able to ‘touch’ a virtual object and make it disappear... being able to use an ipad as a looking glass to encounter hidden illustrations, stories and music. This piece was coded in Vuforia for ipad during an artist residency at the Augmented reality lab at York University.

3. Ten

   Ten is an electronic literature piece emerges organically from my very digital life as a ten-year-old. Every day I make a lot digital art and interventions - from simple selfies to more complicated stories and most are about presenting myself as a girl who is ten or imagining who I want to be. some are about conforming to how others think i should be... or how I hope they see me. My friends and I exchange and circulate our representations every day... like a networked memoir. For the ELO, Ten will be a carefully curated collection 365 small digital moments from among thousands, set up on a computer using a simple calendar interface. You can select a date and you’ll see a photo or short video, a musical.ly, snapchat photo, an Instagram picture or a storify. To me it’s like a time capsule digital memoir and on my 11th birthday I will do a one minute video about all the things I learned being ten and making these things and sharing them and about this being my world. And advice I would give a ten year old.
