1. Salon September 14, 2021: Making Digital Glamour: Queer Femme Internet Aesthetics

   This fun, playful, one-hour workshop explores the queer femme aesthetic--and all are welcome!  What’s a queer femme aesthetic? I conceptualize it as a hyper-saturated, self-conscious, postmodern, performative femininity. Glitter, sequins, lip gloss, nail polish, dELiA*s magazine, ‘90s neon pink and slime green. Digitally, the queer femme aesthetic was innovated in spaces like Tumblr and MySpace, with tools like Blingee and Angelfire Dollz. Of course, there is no one definition of a queer/femme digital aesthetic, though I’d argue that the nail polish emoji is pretty key! Queer femme internet aesthetics often intentionally subvert minimalist design principles and usability heuristics, making the user aware of the platform/medium rather than concealing it.

2. Salon: October 12, 2021: Share to Heal Workshop

   Aims of this workshop  

   ·  To share a personal, social or collective story which has impacted us.  

   ·  To exchange stories, which will be randomly assigned to each participant, with the aim of healing the issues, as set out in the story, and take them as inspiration to develop creative proposals. 

   ·  Community building through meaningful conversations

    

   The platform helps to gather, distribute the stories amongst the participants by shuffling them. Each participant is allocated a story from another participant and they are given some time to read the story and come up with a creative proposal, inspired by the issues in question originated from the text, to create a generative poem, create a podcast, an audio piece, a blog, an interactive co-creative piece… you can be as creative and imaginative as you want in creating a proposal!

5. Salon Jan 11, 2022: Figurski on the Radio!

   Radio made the hypertext star! and Richard Holeton and John Barber will introduce the radio adaptation of the Famous Figurski at Findhorn on Acid!

   Join us as we merge technologies and adapt to radio and sound in a favorite work.

   About this work:
   What began as a pioneering work of electronic literature is now a radio theatre performance. But it took more than twenty years for this to happen.

   Richard Holeton first published Figurski at Findhorn on Acid in 2001 using Storyspace software. This novel length, comedic hypertext featured thousands of links, three main characters, three significant locations, one (perhaps two) mechanical pigs, and yes, THAT acid. Wild acclaim followed initial publication.

6. Salon February 8, 2022: Elit can save the world! Maybe?

   No world for tomorrow? Or worlds of e-lit tomorrows? How can we engage communities in crises using social media and electronic lit? Lyle Skains  recent digital fiction includes No World 4 Tomorrow for the You & CO2 project, and Only, Always, Never for the Infectious Storytelling project; both works were designed to effect social change. We'll talk about how works can be designed to effect change, how to measure reader engagement, and what elit can do for our planet.
