Ether: The Nothing That Connects Everything
Every culture has its own word for this nothing. Synonymous with the idea of absolute space and time, the ether is an ancient concept that has continually determined our definition of environment, our relations to each other, and our ideas about technology. It has also instigated our desire to know something irrepressibly beyond all that.
In Ether, the histories of mysticism and the unseen merge with discussions of the technology and science of electromagnetism. Joe Milutis explores how the ideas of Anton Mesmer and Isaac Newton have manifested themselves as the inspiration for occult theories and artistic practices from Edgar Allan Poe’s works to today. In doing so, he demonstrates that fading in and out of scientific favor has not prevented the ether, a uniquely immaterial concept, from being a powerful force for material progress.

Writing the Virtual: Eleven Dimensions of E-Poetry
Eleven characteristics of networked digital poetry, a category that encompasses an enormous variety of work, are discussed and illustrated with examples. Issues raised include the recalibration of the writing/reading relationship, the nature of attachment at the site of interaction, an architectonic quality of instrument-building that characterizes many pieces, differing treatments of time and “place”, the use of recombinant flux, a performative character displayed by many works, the omnipresence of both translation and looping, as well as pervasive references to ruin and hybrid states of mixed reality.

Meditationer omkring et o ('Meditations around an o')
Den norske digter Ottar Ormstads svevedikt er i sagens natur ikke for fastholdere. "Fnugget svæver i luften" står der i Nudansk Ordbog under ordet svæve. Eksemplet er i selskab med ord som "danserinde", "smil", "uunderbygget påstand" og "vag". Hvordan læser man overhovedet digte, der svæver? Når fnugget ikke kan fanges, danserindens bevægelse aldrig fikseres, smilet ikke afkodes. Digte, der bliver ved med at svæve, kompletteres aldrig. Enhver læsning må derfor også kuldsejle. Ligesom digtene kuldsejler. Men alligevel fortsætter. Som foranderlige former, lyde og betydninger. Ud i alle retninger.

Event-Sequences, Plots and Narration in Computer Games
Opening with the debate between ludologists and narratologists this essay tries to show that there is a narrative aspect in computer games that has nothing to do with background stories and cut scenes. A closer analysis of two sequences, taken from the MMORPG Everquest II and the adventure game Black Mirror, is the basis for a distinction between three aspects of this kind of narrative in computer games: the sequence of activities of the player, the sequence of events as it is determined by the mechanics of the game and the sequence of events understood as a plot, that is as a sequence of (chronologically) ordered and causally linked events. This kind of narrative is quite remote from the proto- typical narrative serving as a source for most narratological considerations. All media and not only computer games therefore actually need their own narratology.
