The Institute of Creative Technologies, De Montfort University, Leicester, UK, will host a public seminar by Bob Stein at 5pm on Tuesday 13 March 2007.

Reading and Writing in the Networked Era

For the past several hundred years intellectual discourse has been shaped by the rhythms and hierarchies inherent in the nature of print. As discourse shifts from page to screen, and more significantly to a networked environment, the old definitions and relations are undergoing unimagined changes.

The shift in our world view from individual to network holds the promise of a radical reconfiguraton in culture. Notions of authority are being challenged. The roles of author and reader are morphing and blurring. Publishing, methods of distribution, peer review and copyright - every crucial aspect of the way we move ideas around - is up for grabs. The new digital technologies afford vastly different outcomes ranging from oppressive to liberating. How we make this shift has critical long term implications for human society.

Robert Stein is the Director of the Institute for the Future of the Book. The institute, based at the University of Southern California has two principal activities. one is building high-end tools for making rich media electronic documents (part of the Mellon Foundation’s higher-ed digital infrastructure initiative) and the other is exploring and hopefully influencing the evolution of new forms of intellectual expression and discourse. Previously Stein was the founder of The Voyager Company where over a 13-year period he led the development of over 300 titles in The Criterion Collection, a series of definitive films on videodisc, and more than 75 CD ROM titles including the CD Companion to Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, Who Built America, and the Voyager edition of Macbeth.

This seminar is organised by the Production and Research in Transliteracy (PART) group at De Montfort University. The event is free and open to the public. Directions here.

The international Gangart Awards, recognising since 2001 the best of intercultural arts on the web, is taking a year off to review and relaunch. In the meantime, Gangart announces a design competition to redesign the very website that showcases intercultural arts.

An interview by Franz Thalmair with Scott Rettberg on Furtherfield about the Electronic Literature Organisation’s Electronic Literature Collection vol 1. The collections features two pieces that I collaborated on - Inanimate Alice, Episode 1: China with Kate Pullinger and Urbanalities with escha.

Gavin Stewart has posted a review of the last Salon that previewed Love City, which launched on the 14th in Nottingham.

Gavin makes some important points about the dangers in digital art of the technology overshadowing the experience, particularly from the audience’s perspective, something that is often a problem when trying to excite people who are unfamiliar with this kind of work. I’m happy to say that Love City is very user-friendly so far. After the easy registration on the website I received my secret name (of love?) and am awaiting further instructions from the Love City Gods… all very intriguing.

Jess Laccetti’s latest post:

“Today marks the third week that I’ve been writing as a professional blogger (woo hoo!) for Leicester’s independent bookshop: Frontline Books. I’ve been thinking about digital/online literacy and would value your responses to any of these questions that I pose at the end of my post: “How do you, born digital or not, read, write, and think across networks and modes? What are you earliest memories of digitalis? Have your initial feelings given way to others? Do you have an accent?”
