1) The Electronic Literature Organization (ELO) addresses the question: What is E-Lit?
The ELO has published two anthologies, vol. 1 in 2006 and vol. 2 in 2011: ELO Collection.
Do you notice any clear differences? Are the differences driven by technological change, cultural change, or some other change agent? Do you have any "bests" or "worsts"?
2) Even though I don't know anything about coding and gaming and such, I love this website: Grand Text Auto. Click through some of the seemingly endless other related sites on the blogroll on the right side of the page.
All semester we've been studying different ways of making poetry and different ways of thinking about what exactly poetry is in the 21st century. This is a logical and impossible to ignore phenomenon of our current situation. Earlier in the semester we saw how technologies such as typewriters, mimeograph machines, Xerography, etc have materially changed the contours of practice. How do networked computers engage with this discourse? Is this something different? Let's have a vigorous discussion in class tomorrow.
