1. Big Brother really is watching you: Literature in mobile dataspace

   The starting point for this essay is William Gibson's image of locative art in his latest two novels, Spook Country (2007) and Zero History (2010). In these books Gibson creates a very clear and comprehensive picture of the term 'locative art'. The essay compares this purely fictional image with the appearance of locative art and poetry in reality.

   Experiments with new technologies, such as mobile networks, Wifi and GPS for mobile and internet devices use and open urban data spaces for any digital application. It has become easy to trace users of these devices, and one is constantly tracked by GPS-satellites, surveillance cameras and other kind of signals and devices. Locative and adaptive poetry makes use of the interplay of urban space and transmitted data and renders it tangible for the player. Doing this makes the player aware of being under constant surveillance by "Big Brother" from outside and inside his gadget.

2. Do the Domains of Literature and New Media Art Intersect? The Cases of Sonnetoid web projects by Vuk Ćosić and Teo Spiller

   Franco Moretti's notion of “distant reading” as a complementary concept to the “close reading”, which emerged alongside the computer based analysis and manipulation of texts, finds its mirror image in a sort of “distant” production of literary works – of a specific kind, of course. The paper considers the field, where literature and new media creativity intersect. Is there such a thing as literariness in “new media objects” (Manovich)? Next, by focusing on the three web sites that generate texts resembling and referring to sonnet form the paper asks the question about the new media sonnet and, a more general one, about the new media poetry. A mere negative answer to the two questions doesn't suffice, because it only postpones the unavoidable answer to the questions posed by existing new media artworks and other communication systems. Teo Spiller's Spam.sonnets can be viewed as an innovative solution to the question, how to find a viable balance between the author's control over the text and the text's openness to the reader-user's intervention.

How has electronic literature influenced other media, including the Web and the book? What are the implications of having literary projects in the digital sphere alongside other forms of communication and art?
