New River Journal

This announcement of a new digital writing and art journal, from the Electronic Literature Organisation. Always great to see another space for digital writing, though claiming to be ‘the first online journal devoted exclusively to digital writing and art’ is a little unfair to Beehive, Turbulence, Kanonmedia and the now defunct Whalelane, to name a few… (I could also mention 391.org, but that would be a blatant plug, wouldn’t it?)

—–

New River Journal, the first online journal devoted exclusively to digital writing and art, announces the release of its premier issue for 2007. After a period of dormancy, New River Journal has been redesigned and reborn, complete with exciting new works by some of today’s leading digital authors.New River Journal was founded by Virginia Tech English Professor Ed Falco in 1996, with the assistance of Len Hatfield, a computer guru then on the Virginia Tech faculty. The online publication has consistently tested the boundaries and rules of writing in a digital age. This new issue marks the first time the journal has been managed and edited by students participating in the MFA Creative Writing Program in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences. Managing editors for the inaugural launch are two graduate students, Laura Dulaney and Bryon Sabol.

The Future of Language

In advance of The Future of Language discussion on Wednesday at the IOCT as part of Cultural Exchanges and the IOCT Salons, Jess Laccetti (who will be one of the participants) has posted another great article at her Frontline Books blog.

It should be an interesting session. It’s only now that I’ve spent some time preparing that I realise how potentially huge the topic is. It was actually a Leicester radio interview on Monday with John Florance about the topic that scared me into thinking more widely around the subject! We’ll probably focus on the impact of digital technologies on (the English) spoken and written language, which is only a tiny subset, but still more than enough for the session.
