2. Beyond Original E-Lit: Deconstructing Austen Cybertexts

   This poster outlines some of the key elements of PhD research currently being undertaken in Maynooth University’s Department of Media Studies. The power provides a visual overview of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries case study and its transmedia elements, highlighting the narrative’s various entry points and potential story paths. The poster also includes some initial insights from a critical comparative analysis of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries and Pride and Prejudice, revealing the key differences between the digital and print reading experiences. Lastly, the poster outlines the planned progression of the project during the next few years, with a particular emphasis on connecting Espen Aarseth’s theories of ergodic literature and cybertexts to The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.

3. Hours of the Night

   Hours of the Night, a collaboration between M.D. Coverley and Stephanie Strickland, is the most recent of their joint explorations. It arose from a concern for the portability of software in the current platform-rich e-lit environment, particularly because many of the tools they used in the past (Director, Flash) are no longer supported or have limited reach. Wishing to make use of a widely available and easily managed tool, they chose PowerPoint, believing it to be a popular, standard, authoring system, the products of which could be read on any desktop computer, tablet, or smart phone. Making and porting PowerPoint work turned out to be more difficult than anticipated. Fortunately the latest version of PowerPoint allows one to export MP4s from the PowerPoint file. Thus available in this exhibit is the truly portable MP4 and as well the PowerPoint file itself (as a slideshow). The latter is viewable only on a Windows machine equipped with PowerPoint for Windows and with the requisite fonts downloaded on it. The aesthetics of the piece are of course not those of a bit of a film but of a series of slides.

5. Ars Poetica

   Despite that this work resembles kinetic poetry made in Flash, the author proposes a new name to describe his work - electronic emanational poems. In these poems he creates invisible, simultaneously coexisting dimensions of text that can be actualised in the kinetic (electronic) versions of such poems.

   The emanational form was first used in Oka-leczenie and (O)patrzenie, two books authored by Z. Fajfer and K. Bazarnik, identified as LIBERATURA, a literary genre integrating text with the material form of the book, which inspired a new literary movement of the same name.

   The poem was written in Polish in a static, printed form in 2004 and published in Fajfer’s bilingual collection of poems dwadziescia jeden liter / ten letters (Krakow: Ha!art Publishing House, 2010). The Polish electronic version was created in 2004 in collaboration with Marcin Lewandowski.

6. The Silent Numbers

   The Silent Numbers combines audio collage with original text appropriated from an e-mail group devoted to recording and transcribing numbers stations. Numbers stations are shortwave radio broadcasts of human and machine-read numbers and letters probably used in espionage to communicate with field agents.

7. Read for us ... and show us the pictures (Version 2.0)

   Based on an earlier installation, Read for us … and show us the pictures, which debuted at ISEA 2015, The Readers Project presents the work of a software entity that generates digital video montage, with visual content sourced through live image search.
   The Montage Reader analyses its text and first establishes a overall visual grammar based on closed-class words that underlie linguistic structure.
   The reader then searches for images corresponding to phrases – ‘longest common phrases’ whenever possible – finally composing a sequence of still and animated images and video, that corresponds with the written language of the text both structurally and also semantically – at least in so far as contemporary image search proposes a correspondence that is meaningful for the human user-readers of network services and their aggregation of crowd-sourced indexing. The chief text read by the Montage Reader is ‘Some Thing We Are,’ a short story by Daniel C. Howe.

8. To Montréal

   To Montréal” was first written using pen and paper while paddling a packraft from Toronto to Montréal. It was subsequently written into an Android app with hope of monetization. The hope proved futile, but did lead to experimentation with alternative formats. These are the results of those experiments: An app, a movie, a web page, and a portable wifi book.

10. Playing with Rose: Exploring a New Conceptual Language

    To understand desire, one needs language and flesh.
    ― Sherry Turkle, Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other

    This physical installation explores hypertext on a granular level: playing with the DNA of the English language: letters with Rose, a symbolic written language based on roman characters. In Rose, each letter takes on a concept, and permutations of that letter indicate various aspects of the concept. This influences word choice and inflection: you can choose to put one letter into Rose or entire words. Toy blocks emblazoned in QR codes [1] allow participants to explore Rose and connect with the explanation of each letter on the www.thinkingrose.com site.
