1. Dichtung Digital 29

   The papers in this issue reveal a range of conceptions of code. The reading here is doubly satisfying, not only for the clear presentations of these engaging projects, but for the sense of code as undercurrent, the way encoding, language, and artistic expression are separate undertakings, but inescapably intertwined.

2. Inner Workings: Code and Representations of Interiority in New Media Poetics

   'Inner Workings' addresses itself to the methods, properties and practices of writing systems, including human writing systems, whose very signifiers are programmed. What does programmed signification tell us about the inner human writing machine? John Cayley's essay participates in relevant metacritical and metapsychological discussions - reexamining Freud's Mystic Writing Pad in particular - and is specifically sited within the context of debates on code and codework in literal art. Rather than revealed interiority, code is the archive and guarantee of inner workings than reside beneath the complex surfaces of poetics in programmable media.

4. Poetics of Dynamic Text

   Dynamic texts offer new possibilities for reading and new challenges in how we approach the reading object, forcing the final object away from the idea of a fixed form on a fixed surface. In order to "read" such an object, one must look deeper, into the code itself, and one must consider the various ramifications inherent in a code-based work. Ultimately, one must explore the edge where language apparatuses engage.

5. Coding the Infome: Writing Abstract Reality

   Because of their specific history, we think of computer languages and code as symbolic abstractions of natural languages, and computers as universal machines manipulating these symbols. However, today every computer exists in relation to the Internet, whether it is connected or not. Every software is potentially a networked software, a building block of the networks we live within and through. Because of this, code is no longer Text, a symbolic representation of reality - it is reality. To write code is to create and manipulate this reality. Within it, artist-programmers are more land-artists than writers, software are more earthworks than narratives, this creates new and fascinating issues in terms of referentiallity and meaning for the coding artist to delve into.

6. Literatur im elektronischen Raum

   ästhetische Konzepte von Literatur und Kunst werden durch die neuen Medien Computer und Internet in mehrfacher Hinsicht herausgefordert: Es entstehen neue Formen des Schreibens (kooperative und kommunikative Vernetzung), der Textgestaltung (Multi- und Hypermedialität) und des Lesens (Interaktion, Spiel). Damit wird der weitgehend monomediale und interaktionsarme Literaturbegriff der Buchkultur grundlegend in Frage gestellt. Digitale und Netzliteratur stehen dabei im Spannungsfeld von Tradition und Innovation: Einerseits greifen sie Konzepte verschiedener Avantgarden auf, andererseits jedoch prägt die mediale Struktur neue Formen ästhetischer Gestaltung und Kommunikation, die wiederum Rückschlüsse auf grundlegende epistemologische und soziale Veränderungen zulassen.

7. Close Reading New Media: Analyzing Electronic Literature

   Since the early nineteen-nineties, electronic art and literature have continually gained importance in artistic and academic circles. Significant critical and theoretical attention has been paid to how new media allow the text to break traditional power relations and boundaries. The passive reader becomes an active participant choosing his own path and assembling not just his own interpretation of the text (level of the signified), but also his own text (level of the signifier). Texts no longer have a beginning or an ending, being a web of interlinked nodes. The decentered nature of electronic text empowers and invites the reader to take part in the literary process. Poststructuralist theorists predicted a total liberation of textual restrictions imposed by the medium of print. However, while these are culturally significant claims, little attention has been paid to their realization. The goal of this volume is twofold. Our aim is to shed light on how ideas and theories have been translated into concrete works, and we want to comment on the process of close reading and how it can be applied to electronic literature.
