1. Literary Aspects of the New Media Art Works by Jaka Železnikar and Srečo Dragan

   E-literature dwells in the multi-media environment of the Internet, for which connectivity to other virtual and real phenomena is of the greatest importance, since it brings the literary components into close relations and interdependencies with languages of other disciplines. The visual languages of art and mass-media culture give shape and context to the literary content. Moreover, the programmability of e-literature references a wide variety of disciplines, e. g. logic, mathematics, computer and information science ... The social exchange and the performative character of communication is manifest especially in the projects that involve digital communities. The paper will present several e-literary projects by two established Slovene new media artists, in a time span of fifteen years of their exploration of the medium. Jaka Železnikar is a poet of e-literature. He writes literary algorithms and codes interventions into the user-browser communication. His e-poems involve words as well as they draw attention to the ways how we communicate with online content that is organized on the mainstream web 2.0 platforms.

3. Is There a Message in the Medium? The Materiality of Language

   The initial argument of this essay is absurdly simple, obvious, literal: language must be embodied and thus its particular medium is—literally, ontologically—the matter, the flesh, the materiality of any message that it articulates. Marshall McLuhan urged us to recognize that media signify, that the matter in which the message is embodied also traces differences that were already what we have come to call ‘writing’ in a poststructuralist, Derridean sense: grammatological practices. However, McLuhan’s copula was not ontological. It expressed a concern that these other, parallel messages were more significant than any linguistic message they embodied. This same anxiety has reached a kind of apotheosis in recent criticism of digital literature—from Christopher Funkhouser and Roberto Simanowski—revenant as no less than our ancient fear of cannibalism. The message of the medium literally consumes the materiality of language: its own body, flesh of its flesh. But this cannibalism would only be literal—and thus taboo, thus truly terrifying—if McLuhan’s copula were ontological.

8. (Techno)dispositifs in Contemporary Art Practice: Fifty-year Theater Performance Noordung 1995-2045 by Dragan Živadinov

   Noordung, a 50-year theatre projectile, created by Dragan Živadinov and his collaborators, is a complex, long-term research project which saw its official start on April 20, 1995 at 10 pm with its first performance which is to have been followed by five more, performed every 10 years (2005 - 2015 – 2025 – 2035 - ) on the same day at the same time with the same actors by the year 2045. The essential part of the performance is that it includes the process of replacing the bodies of those actors who shall die in the meantime with remote-controlled technological abstracts. In the first phase of the 50-year process, the bodies of dead actors shall be replaced with remote-controlled sign which shall substitute an actor in their mise-en-scéne and shall also contain software for translating their speech into music – when an actress dies, her speech shall be translated into melody, whereas actors’ speech shall be translated into rhythm.
