E-literature in/with Performance, an Electronic Literature as a Model of Creativity in Practice (ELMCIP) Seminar  

Arnolfini, Bristol, UK

May 3-4, 2012

The program for the ELMCIP Seminar on Digital Poetics and the Present is now available. The seminar will take place on December 9th and 10th in Amsterdam, Holland at the University of Amsterdam. Readings and performances will be given in the evening at the political and cultural center De Balie (Friday) and the Perdu Theater (Saturday).

This screencast describes several new features in the ELMCIP Knowledge Base designed to make it even more useful for researchers. With the RDF power of Drupal 7, records in the knowledge base are accessible to search engines such as Google in new machine-readable ways. We recently added some filters to make finding creative works and critical writing in the Knowledge Base easier for researchers. We are also adding links from records in the Knowledge Base to WorldCat, so that KB users will be able see if a particular book or resource is available in their local library.

Electronic Literature as a Model of Creativity and Innovation in Practice (ELMCIP), a collaborative research project funded by the Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA) JRP for Creativity and Innovation, has extended the deadline for submissions of electronic literature from European writers and practitioners for its upcoming anthology. We are looking for innovative literary works by European authors that take advantage of digital media and computation.

Submissions for the second call will close November 7, 2011.

Remediating the Social

1st CALL FOR PAPERS

The Electronic Literature as a Model of Creativity and Innovation in Practice (ELMCIP) research project invites paper and presentation proposals for its conference, Remediating the Social. Selected papers will be presented at the conference in Edinburgh, Scotland November 1-3, 2012.

ELMCIP researchers Talan Memmott and David Prater, at Blekinge Institute of Technology, produced this docu-essay from last week's seminar on electronic literature and new media art, based on responses to short questions emerging from the seminar content.

Notebooks are a new feature on the ELMCIP Knowledge Base made to make the KB more useful to researchers. Users can create notebooks for individual research projects, and easily include links to KB records for creative works, critical writing, authors, and events, along with their own notes about a given topic. These notebooks are then stored in the Knowledge Base, and accessible to the individual user from their profile page.
