1. The Gravity of the Leaf: Phenomenologies of Literary Inscription in Media-Constituted Diegetic Worlds

   John Cayley reports on writing and the practice of literary art in the immersive 3D audio-visual environment of the Cave at Brown University, addressing the use of text-as-surface in a three-dimensional space. He develops a conception of new media as “complex surfaces” based on Cave writing courses to confront the relationship between language and embodiment, language and materiality—always attempting to develop a specific literary aesthetics.

2. Hyperlinking in 3D Interactive, Multimedia Performances

   Dene Grigar discusses ways in which hyperlinks are utilized in three-dimensional multimedia performance works that offer a narrative or poetic focus. In the new spaces of three-dimensional performance environments, hyperlinking can be incorporated as a performative element into the work and therefore always makes a purposeful act necessary for the performance to unfold. Grigar argues that hyperlinking may denote a change of scene, the progression of a poem’s instantiation or the evocation of musical notes comprising a composition.

4. Space for writing: a sidelong glance at the history of immersive spatial hypertext

   The Cave Writing Workshop is an advanced experimental electronic writing workshop founded by Robert Coover, exploring the potential of text, sound, and narrative movement in immersive three-dimensional virtual reality. It brings together teams of undergraduate and graduate fiction writers, poets and playwrights, composers and sound engineers, graphic designers, visual artists, 3D modelers and programmers, to develop, within the environment of Brown’s “Cave” in the Technology Center for Advanced Scientific Computing and Visualization, projects that focus on the word. From 2002 onward writers have explored the possibilities of spatial hypertext in an immersive environment. What this paper proposes is an exploration of the history of the twin currents of hypertext and virtual reality that merged to create this particular form of expression, going back to the early hypertext systems developed at Brown University in the 1960’s by Ted Nelson/van Dam/et al and work in immersive virtual reality at University of Illinois’ CAVE in the early 1990s.
