Final Wiki Post

That makes me sad…...

I truly enjoyed every single experiment and creative work that was introduced through this course. Even the works I didn’t completely understand and felt indifferent for, I enjoyed the physical element of browsing through them mindlessly (if that makes any sense): clicking, browsing, clicking, browsing, and feeling confused. I wanted to create a final project that encompassed Post-Lit as a whole; I did so by compiling different bits and pieces that reflected on several things we learned or discussed in class. The form included social media platforms, Google Search, physical and social factors, and a tangible book. It is an overproduction of “art”, but it is intricately pieced together and (in my opinion) has underlying meaning, relatable content, and depth.
Grabbing a cup of coffee (once/twice every day up until the project is due) at a local cafe and eavesdropping on conversations while documenting every detail onto Facebook. Then I am uploading a 1 minute video of “silence” to demonstrate that “there is no such thing as silence”. A link in the comment takes us to the Twitter page where the Chapter of that post is posted, along with a troll GIF that relates to the Chapter title. A link in the comment takes us to the Instagram page where the location, time, and name of drink is accounted for. Finally, the final project is tangible book that includes all of these screenshots along with a new narrative, which has been compiled through Google Search. It sounds extremely complicated, but I can definitely envision the final product – so hopefully anyone who comes across it will make sense of it. It is a project with many layers, but the end product stemmed from the initial eavesdropping that took place during the first cup of coffee. I really hope it all makes sense after I’m done with it, because I’m really excited to work on this.

Engagement

2017-12-07T10:36:10Z

Mikey:

[[Engagement]] - noun

1. a formal agreement to get married.

2. something that engages (ex to hold the attention of)

[[File:My Boyfriend Came Back From The War.png|200px|thumb|right|An example of engagement from My Boyfriend Came Back From The War (S.K)]]

Electronic literature allows for readers and consumers of said literature to experience engagement that print media simply cannot provide. Christopher Funkhouser describes one of these methods of engagement in his work on digital media. He lists what he classifies as four main forms of hypertext works, one of which is a visual work that the reader has to negotiate and explore themselves. This allows a realm of possibility to open up, far beyond the typical relationship readers have with print literature.

One example of this a project called [http://knottedline.com/tkl.html The Knotted Line], a work referenced to in Miriam Posner's explanation on the unexplored possibilities of digital humanities. The Knotted Line is a webpage that shows a series of winding, interconnected lines and illustrations. Only by clicking and dragging the lines around can the reader reveal the true message of the work. On the "other side" of the line are entirely different illustrations as well as small nodes of information which explain and describe the systematic oppression faced by people of the color in the United States. Rather than [[passively]] read the information, readers have to physically look for the information, thus providing a multimedia experience that forces the [[reader]] to [[engage]] with the work in an entirely new way.

I emailed Xanga to reactivate my old "blog". I believe I posted snippets of my exciting jr high school life on this account, so it will be hilarious and also embarrassing to look back on them. This might be a good place to start for my final project. I would like to incorporate my golden years somehow - hopefully, Xanga will be able to give me access. Apparently, I had "shutdown" my account quite some time ago! My posts must have been extremely embarrassing, even to myself, otherwise I am sure I would have kept it for fun.

Rather than introduce electronic literature or “e-lit” as a [[distinct]] literary [[category]], ELIT WIKI wonders if it’s still possible to consider literature [[beyond]] the electronic circuits that characterize the networked present. The [[creation]] and study of literature today is facilitated by a range of [[digital]] formats and networked [[consoles]], each of which introduce [[new]] [[practices]] of production, circulation, [[reception]], and [[reading]]. Alongside these [[transformations]], this wiki explores a range of new literary genres inhabiting, for example, [[computer]] scripts, image [[macros]], flash movies, [[social media]], [[hypertext]] [[bandcamp]] [[releases]], [[interactive]] applications, and print on demand [[Analysis of Diana Hamilton's Dreams|books]]. Thinking through the present, ELIT WIKI examines the history and future of literature through the everyday experience of computers and electronic devices. From the history of digital poetics to recent [[internet publications]], we track the [[development]] of [[literature]] [[under the influence]] of [[computation]] up to works published in the [[present]], as they emerge online. In lockstep, this wiki considers the category of “electronic literature” as a way to [[think]] about historical works remediated to the internet, in a wide range of [[(post-)]]digital formats. The wiki features short pages in an open format, which may be [[critical]] or [[creative]] in form, [[developed]] in [[conversation]] with the editors. No previous experience in [[programming]], [[poetry]], or literature is [[required]] to read these [[pages]].

== Inspiration ==

This wiki surveys the development and current state of electronic literature, from the popularity of hypertext fiction in the [[1980's]] to the present, focusing on a [[range]] of emergent genres. It also [[discusses]] the central critical [[issues]] raised by electronic literature, pointing out that there is significant overlap with the print tradition. At the same time, the essay argues that the practices, texts, procedures, and processual nature of electronic literature require new critical models and new ways of [[playing]] and [[interpreting]] the works. E-Lit WIki is not a systematic attempt to survey and summarize the [[fast]]-changing field of electronic literature, artists, [[designers]], writers, critics—instead, it imagines itself a [[playful]] [[engagement]] with the forms and [[platforms]] of the present.

[[WHAAAAT?]] [[File: jim.gif |200px|thumb|right|The author's feels as depicted by Jim. Taken from the Alt Syllabus article, "Being an English Major as Told By the Office."]] I'm so confused. I read the critical piece regarding aesthetics of materiality in electronic literature, and (I think) it helped me view Instagram, specifically, as a literary medium. Unfortunately, I don't see how certain pages such as @Richardwithhairdoingthings would be considered electronic literature. I do see it as art though, since the person behind the Instagram handle is telling a story in his/her own unique way; they are placing certain pictures, images, and captions in a sort of aesthetically pleasing way. (Oh) Is that considered electronic literature? It is indeed like the twitter concept pages we created, the memes that we looked at, the games that we played, the interactive stories that we moved through, and the GIFs that we discussed. If these are all included in the electronic literature genre, I absolutely love it. (I'm rambling a bit cause I'm still confused, but writing down exactly what comes to my mind is actually helping). Regardless of what I think/know, I admire those who are able be get creative with their social media platforms. Instagram users post one picture with a moving caption, and their grid tells an amazing story. The user knows how to arrange their grid in a cohesive manner, so that it is aesthetically pleasing to whoever randomly lands upon it. The captions are usually super clever too - puns, poems, quotes, hashtags, etc.. There really is no limit to what medium you can use when it comes to telling a story.

I am glad to have registered in this class during my final year at [[UCLA]]. Finally, a classroom without a pretentious vibe; students are genuinely intrigued and open to being creative. We are somewhat developing the class as we go, and being introduced to a new type of literature that I have never had previous interest in. I did not even know that the term "electronic literature" existed. Yes, Hayles give us an introduction to what type of pieces are considered electronic literature, but as it was mentioned in class: should this genre even be considered literature?
This type of question reminds me of the Modern Art course that I took many years ago, because that was also an introduction course full of students who had not studied Modern Art before. How were we supposed to determine what was art or not? Because an esteemed artist claimed it to be? Because it was trending? Because [[history]] said so?
Honestly, no one has the right to tell you what is and what is not art. If there is a connection between you and the piece, and you appreciate it solely for its beauty, emotional connection, creativity, or skill, then it certainly is art. Same goes with electronic literature – no one should be able to eliminate this genre. Regardless, this movement is unavoidable since we are extremely dependent on [[technology]].

Mikey:

The comment that was made in class that electronic-literature hinges on the reader’s response to the piece as opposed to the author infusing [[meaning]] into the words resonated with me the most because that process of engaging with the text differs from how I have interacted with texts in prior classes. The tension apparent in the various manifestations of Jorge Borges’s “Library of Babel” between mechanical production and individuality seemed to illuminate the reader-response comment. The various permutations of text that are produced from the library are so abstract, that they are at once both disheartening and empowering. [[Disheartening]], because the concept that every combination of words that ever has been or could be said seems to imply that creativity is finite, infusing the generated ‘text,’ and other creations, with meaninglessness. However, in attempting to have the computer dictate text to the class, and then having students read versions of Queneau’s sonnets, the professor pointed out the very high likelihood that the combination we read aloud in class was perhaps the first time that particular combination has ever been [[read out loud]]. A sense of individuality, and almost ownership, can then be derived by interacting with a text through reading aloud.

WHAAAAT? I'm so confused. I read the critical piece regarding aesthetics of materiality in electronic literature, and (I think) it helped me view Instagram, specifically, as a literary medium. Unfortunately, I don't see how certain pages such as @Richardwithhairdoingthings would be considered electronic literature. I do see it as art though, since the person behind the Instagram handle is telling a story in his/her own unique way; they are placing certain pictures, images, and captions in a sort of aesthetically pleasing way. (Oh) Is that considered electronic literature? It is indeed like the twitter concept pages we created, the memes that we looked at, the games that we played, the interactive stories that we moved through, and the GIFs that we discussed. If these are all included in the electronic literature genre, I absolutely love it. (I'm rambling a bit cause I'm still confused, but writing down exactly what comes to my mind is actually helping). Regardless of what I think/know, I admire those who are able be get creative with their social media platforms. Instagram users post one picture with a moving caption, and their grid tells an amazing story. The user knows how to arrange their grid in a cohesive manner, so that it is aesthetically pleasing to whoever randomly lands upon it. The captions are usually super clever too - puns, poems, quotes, hashtags, etc.. There really is no limit to what medium you can use when it comes to telling a story.

[[What]] is [[see also: nothing?|not]] [[electronic]] literature today? Rather than introduce electronic literature or “e-lit” as a [[distinct]] literary [[category]], ELIT WIKI wonders if it’s still possible to consider literature [[beyond]] the electronic circuits that characterize the networked present. The [[creation]] and study of literature today is facilitated by a range of [[digital]] formats and networked [[consoles]], each of which introduce [[new]] [[practices]] of production, circulation, [[reception]], and [[reading]]. Alongside these [[transformations]], this wiki explores a range of new literary genres inhabiting, for example, [[computer]] scripts, image [[macros]], flash movies, social media, [[hypertext]] [[bandcamp]] [[releases]], [[interactive]] applications, and print on demand [[Analysis of Diana Hamilton's Dreams|books]]. Thinking through the present, ELIT WIKI examines the history and future of literature through the everyday experience of computers and electronic devices. From the history of digital poetics to recent [[internet publications]], we track the [[development]] of [[literature]] [[under the influence]] of [[computation]] up to works published in the present, as they emerge online. In lockstep, this wiki considers the category of “electronic literature” as a way to [[think]] about historical works remediated to the internet, in a wide range of [[(post-)]]digital formats. The wiki features short pages in an open format, which may be [[critical]] or [[creative]] in form, [[developed]] in [[conversation]] with the editors. No previous experience in [[programming]], [[poetry]], or literature is [[required]] to read these pages.

== Inspiration ==

This wiki surveys the development and current state of electronic literature, from the popularity of hypertext fiction in the [[1980's]] to the present, focusing on a [[range]] of emergent genres. It also discusses the central critical [[issues]] raised by electronic literature, pointing out that there is significant overlap with the print tradition. At the same time, the essay argues that the practices, texts, procedures, and processual nature of electronic literature require new critical models and new ways of playing and [[interpreting]] the works. E-Lit WIki is not a systematic attempt to survey and summarize the fast-changing field of electronic literature, artists, designers, writers, critics—instead, it imagines itself a [[playful]] [[engagement]] with the forms and platforms of the present. (See [http://eliterature.org/pad/elp.html Hayles, 2007])
