1. Sound Rites: Relationships Between Words and Sound in New Media Writing

   While discussion of the relationship of image and word has been prominent in the discourses
   surrounding new media writing, the role of sound is rarely addressed in this context, even
   though words are sounds and sounds are a major component of multimedia. This paper
   explores possibilities for new theoretical frameworks in this area, drawing on musico-literary
   discourse, intermedia theory and inter-cultural theory, and using ideas about semiotic and cultural exchange as a basis.

2. The Montaigne Machine

   The Montaigne Machine is a work of electronic literature that invites users to participate in the creation of multimedia personal essays. The essays generated by The Montaigne Machine each center on a specific topic taken up by the inventor of the genre, Michel de Montaigne. The essays combine text from Montaigne’s famous Essais, first published in 1580 and here translated into English, with original text from each visitor who uses the machine. These texts are placed within an image that has been uploaded by a photographer on Flickr, designated as available for remixing, and most recently tagged with a term appropriate to the essay’s topic. The resulting essay is a collaboration, perhaps even a conversation, across time and media by three artists.
