UK launch of the Electronic Literature Collection Volume 1
Thursday 17th May 2007, 6.00pm - 7.30pm (doors open at 5.30pm for drinks)

at the Institute of Creative Technologies, De Montfort University, Leicester, UK (click here for map and directions)

This event is free of charge and open to the public. The first 50 audience members will receive a complimentary copy of the ELC Volume 1.

The Electronic Literature Collection Volume 1 is an anthology of sixty works published by The Electronic Literature Organization and edited by N. Katherine Hayles, Nick Montfort, Scott Rettberg and Stephanie Strickland.

Guests at this Salon will include

- Scott Rettberg (http://retts.net, writer, co-editor of ELC Volume 1, co-founder and first executive director of the Electronic Literature Organization)

And the UK-based writers who feature on the ELC Volume 1, who will show their work and discuss what Electronic Literature means for them:

- John Cayley (http://www.shadoof.net/in/)
- Jon Ingold (http://www.ingold.fsnet.co.uk)
- Chris Joseph (http://www.chrisjoseph.org)
- Kate Pullinger (http://www.katepullinger.com)

“Flaws or no flaws, this is an essential collection. Anyone interested in the field of electronic literature should take the trouble to get it on DVD. Some of this material is priceless, and it may not be available on the Web indefinitely.”
- Edward Picot, The Hyperliterature Exchange

“In the breadth of work contained in it, as well as the innovative way the editors and authors have made it available, this is a generous collection.”
- Tim Wright, Realtime Arts

Recent Grads: Submissions are now being accepted for the 2007 Emerging Artists Exhibition

We are looking for submissions of electronic, interactive and new media work, including works related to artistic genres such as sculpture, installation, video and performance art.

Each year InterAccess’s emerging artist exhibition showcases new media works by Ontario post- secondary graduating students and/or recent graduates. One of six exhibitions launched annually by InterAccess, the emerging artists show aims to provide students with professional experience and exposure.

The exhibition will take place at InterAccess in the main gallery space from June 12 to August 12. Artist fees will be provided for each artist selected. Artists will be responsible for the transportation of their works a week before the opening. The artist is chiefly responsible for installing his or her work, however InterAccess will provide technical assistance.
