  1. The human aspect in digital media esthetics

    In literary science there is little interest of how a human uses the technology. How many different uses exist for a book? But new forms of digital arts give users mulitple ways of interacting with the media. Digital arts follow in the footsteps of the humanities when it comes to research methods, and is to a large degree neglegticting to gather empirical data from interviews or observations that are common methods from the social sciences. My claim is that through observations I can gather information about how different users navigate in a artpiece that gives the user freedom of interaction (examples: A duck has an adventure), but ). With qualitative interviews we can reveal not only what choices the user does, but why they do the choices they do. And also what they feel about these works

  2. Embodiment

    The aim of the embodiment research collection is to give the reader an introduction to relevant researchers, artists, creative works and scholarly works exploring the concept of embodiment and technology, in the hopes that such a framework can inspire the further investigation of works related to the field of electronic literature. Considering the current selection of creative works of electronic literature recorded in the ELMCIP knowledge base, one notes the shift from audiovisual screen-based works where navigation is centered around mouse-clicks to an increase in multimodal works realized on smart devices equipped with haptic and sensor technologies. Works where movement, touch, gestures, location and position are central to the reading and experience of the artwork.

  3. Collection of Lost E-Lit Works

    This collection is dedicated to inaccessible works of electronic literature, creative works and other resources that are no longer online, or inactive. If you encounter a work with a broken link, add the work to this collection and provide all data (description and images, most preferably a screenshot of the opening page+ screenshots from within the work) you have at hand in the record of the creative work. Ideally, make a note underneath the works description when you have encountered a "work's death".

    Also, please provide URLs of works that are lost on the live Web but retrievable from the Internet Archive and provide the link in the field "Archive URL". As this collection will grow, I will evaluate if the works that are accessible through the Internet Archive should belong here, for now, they do.

  4. Digital Letterisms

    Letter in Letterism Research Collection is regarded in Lacanian sense as “a material medium each concrete discourse borrows from the language”(Lacan, 1997), thus letterism is viewed on as an attempt to define a minimal unit of a text-based piece of digital or contemporary art. Roland Barthes defined minimal unit of reading, as lexia “a series of brief, contiguous fragments, which we shall call lexias, since they are units of reading . . . . The lexia will include sometimes a few words, sometimes several sentences; it will be a matter of convenience: it will suffice that the lexia be the best possible space in which we can observe meanings . . . .” (Barthes, 1974). Following Velimir Khlebnikov, who states in Nasha osnova (1920), that it is possible to find a common meaning of a sound, if one collects all the words containing it “all the remaining sounds will multiply each other, and the common meaning these words have, will be the meaining of Ч”(Хлебников, 1999) Jerald Janecek singles out phonetic zaum as a minimal combinatorial block of a poetic work. According to N.

  7. Codework

    In an issue of the American Book Review (22.6 2001) that focused on codework as a practice, Alan Sondheim, the originator of the term itself, introduces a three-pronged ontology for the form that includes the following criteria.

    A. Works using the syntactical interplay of surface language, with reference to computer language and engagement.

    B. Works in which submerged code has modified the surface language—with the possible representation of the code as well.

    C. Works in which the submerged code is emergent content.

    What is provocative in Sondheim’s vision of codework is that the code does emerge, is made visible, and commingles with natural language. Sondheim indicates various formulas for this commingling of surface and submerged, natural and coding languages – through syntactic interplay, surface modification, and code as content providing a number of practitioners whose work he sees operating under the each of the conditions he has outlined.

    This research collection uses Sondheim’s ontology as a guideline for the selection of creative works, critical essays, and authors.

  8. please combine me combine please me: A Collection of Factorial Literature [l!]

    please combine me combine please me is a collection that takes on the concept of factorial literature [l!] as a transtemporal genre. Taking into consideration the essay “A Literatura Factorial [l!]” (Seiça 2013) as a starting point, this collection of resources selects literary works that have a permutational structure of composition, in addition to critical writing that has addressed this domain, specifically in the case of factorial poetry [p!].

    Being the intrinsic nature of these works concerned with combinatory practices, I acknowledge here the fact that combinatorial poetics is an art that has been developed throughtout the ages. By selecting a wider number of literary artifacts, I am expanding the initial analysis I had done when defining the term “factorial literature [l!]” (2011).

  9. Collection of E-Lit Works Affected by "The Lability of the Device"

    ...or: "Collection of Mutant Electronic Literature". "Mutant" should not be understood in a pejorative sense, but point to the mutation process works of electronic literature undergo when created in particular platforms that are subject to technological change that affect the "original" state a work was coded in. Paraphrasing Merriam Webster's definition of the term, mutation in electronic literature addresses "a relatively permanent change in hereditary material" expressed by a "significant and basic alteration" in the physical appearance and inner workings of a work. (As I am writing this, my understanding of what I mean might mutate as I am at the beginning of unfolding this thought, using this space you are reading in as transcript). Even though a collection on works that are "affected by the lability of the electronic device" seems redundant because all works of electronic literature potentially may be affected, the collection was established from the identified need for documenting the ways a work is affected.

  10. Visual Poetry Without Natural Language

    Visual Poetry without natural language is a collection of poetry that are primarily Visual, and devoid of obvious language. There might be nonsense words and may be onomatopoeia or there can be words or sentences in code. They do not contain any ordinary words or sentences of any language, unless they are completely unreadable or only at first glance. They may have Language hidden in code or tossed together in piles. They might contain letters, but without words. In this way the letters will have only a visual function. Sound can be pressent, even speech, as long as it doesn't articulates whole words or sentences, which could be understood.
