Machine Libertine
Various forms of computational linguistics and various forms of electronic literature have been aiming to create an algorithm capable of imitating natural human language. The highest Turing test approval for a chatterbot would be impossibility to tell this program from a real person. And therefore, poetry and story generators are often criticized as artificial and in need of further «humanization». In the paper I am going to prove the virtue of producing not human-like computer generated poetry and illustrate my points with the example of Machine Libertine project works.

Electrifying Detail: Writing and Reading Triggers in Textual Zoom
What can be said about the detail as an aesthetic category within the framework of an emergent electronic culture? The paper does not aim to draw a standpoint on the subject but rather to identify possible paths of reflection and inquiry starting from a particular model: a form of zoomable text (z-text) and interface (zoom-editor) allowing the text to be structured on levels of detail and explored by zoom-in and zoom-out. The questions that we intend to address concern the role of detail as a trigger fostering both the writing and the reading process. As an essential ingredient of the zooming paradigm - urging the writer to say and the reader to ask more about what has already been said - the detail acquires a prevalent character, that of trigger of the textual unfolding and core of the interface functionality.

ә-măn’yoo-ĕn’sĭs
In tandem with this installation, we propose to present an approximately ten-minute-long collaborative theoretical paper entitled ‘ə-măn’yoo-ĕn’sĭs.’ BRIEF DESCRIPTION āmanuēnsis is a Latin word derived from ab + manus, or “by hand.” Originally used to refer to slaves, the word was later applied specifically to personal secretaries. We (Claire Donato and Timothy Terhaar) work as freelance amanuenses in Brooklyn, NY.
Our presentation will be twofold, taking on the form of both a scholarly presentation and an onsite installation. Throughout the conference, we will set up and run an on-site transcription booth.
Conference attendees will be invited to sit for exactly five minutes at the booth, to be monitored
by a timer. Each participant will be expected to assume the position of the Source in producing
dictation. At the end of the five-minute session, the participant will receive a hard copy of his or her document.Eric Dean Rasmussen - 19.06.2012 - 15:05

Documenting Your Work: A Workshop on Using the ELMCIP Knowledge Base for Authors, Critics, and Teachers of Electronic Literature
The ELMCIP Electronic Literature Knowledge Base (http://elmcip.net/knowledgebase) is an open-access research database for documenting information about authors, works of electronic literature, critical writing that references those works, publishers, organizations, events, and teaching resources about e-lit. We propose a hands-on workshop session, ideally two hours in length, to be held in a computer lab with a networked computer available for each participant. The workshop will include a presentation of how authors, scholars, and teachers can use the Knowledge Base for professional purposes, to bring readers to their work, to support their research, and to develop their courses. Contributor accounts will be created for all workshop attendees, and the bulk of the session will be devoted to documenting participant’s work in the Knowledge Base itself, actively creating new records. We will focus in particular on documenting works and papers which have been presented at the ELO conferences.

Open Discussion Session on the Future of ELO
At the ELO conference in 2012, several authors had a discussion on the future of the ELO.
E-lit authors Stephanie Strickland and Marjorie Luesebrink organized a panel on the "Future of E--Lit" at the ELO 2012 conference, allowing emerging and early career authors to articulate institutional and economic, as well more familiar technological, developments that constrain and facilitate current practice. The panel papers were released in ebr in March 2014. Luesebrink and Strickland followed up with comments on the papers, offering a "progress report" on the future of the field. The individual responses are available as glosses on the essays and in full here.

Mimesis: An Integrated Social Networking Application and Computer Game for Exploring Social Discrimination
Game characters and social networking profiles potentially can be used to help people better
understand others’ experiences. However, merely customizing graphical representations and text
fields is insufficient to convey actual identity experiences. As a step toward conveying richer
identity experiences, we implemented an interactive narrative game for iOS called Mimesis to
allow players to explore identity phenomena associated with discrimination. Mimesis is an
outcome of the NSF-supported Advanced Identity Representation (AIR) Project (Harrell,
Principal Investigator) to develop new computational identity technologies informed by theories
of cognitive categorization and social classification. An ICE Lab interactive narrative platform
called GeNIE is used to implement the game. We propose to present and discuss Mimesis.(Source: Author's abstract, 2012 ELO Conference site)
