After reading through N. Katherine Hayles’ essay “Electronic Literature: What is it?,” I found her discussion on video games and their role in interactive fiction to be somewhat lacking in regards to their creative potential for a narrative. If the essay was older, I would feel more lenient in this aspect, but since it was published in [[2007]], there would be a wide variety of games out there that played with the narrative form in more ways than what Hayles details. For example, she never mentions visual novels, which are a genre of video games that very much function similarly to more traditional literary forms. In addition, while she mentions “visual displays, graphics, animations, and clever modifications of traditional literary devices” in her essay for what video games add to literature, she never addresses how video games, and interactive fiction by extension, allow for the player to change the [[narrative]] for themselves and craft an ending based on their own choices throughout the story and gameplay presented (Hayles). Games can allow for multiple endings and thus for people to shape the narrative on their own. In this way, games have the potential to creatively play with their narrative and not just follow a specific streamlined plot like one would have to in other creative mediums, like in a movie, TV show, or novel. Because of this omission, I feel that Hayles does a disservice in representing how, through video games, electronic literature can further break the conventions of how typical narrative operates and bring even more options to the literary landscape as a whole.

As a last thought, I will suggest some video games here that involve choices and/or multiple endings like I have discussed here! My suggestions would be Undertale, Silent Hill & Silent Hill 2, Dragon Age: Origins, The Stanley Parable, the Zero Escape Series, NieR & NieR Automata, Until Dawn, etc. I would [[list]] more, but there's way too many. Also, since I briefly mentioned them, my recommended visual novel series would be the Zero Escape, Danganronpa, and Ace Attorney series. Anyway, thanks for reading!

It is crazy to think about how far social media has come. From MySpace to Facebook to Twitter to Instagram social media has changed the way we live our lives and connect with each other. I like to view social media as a form of electronic literature. Whether it is words, letters, symbols, photos or emojis, we compose these works online in order to captivate a certain image or "status" about our life. Many famous sites such as Instagram have found their way into the marketing industry due to their ability to connect with up to millions of users at once. Instagram has in a sense redefined the importance of aesthetic value in our daily lives and advertisers has used this to their advantage creating new pages daily. Through this popular site photography now has a bigger platform than ever before. Whether it is the stormy skies of Chicago, aerial images of New York City, or daily cuisines, the variety of accounts are endless. In a sense it seems as though Instagram and social media has become the new form of documentation for civilization. From paintings on a cave to a digitalized library open to any human with access to technology.

This new format of interactive literature is one of the most beautiful genres I have ever discovered. Julie Escorba’s In The Woods felt very real on and emotional level due to the perfect choice of music to go along with each praise. From the beginning when she is walking along the forest alone, we hear a calm yet subtle sound, as if something is waiting to happen. The music tenses up on the next page, with the theme becoming darker and darker. The feeling changes to emptiness, with cruel visuals of nature in the background. When she meets someone the music changes to a psychedelic tone as if to describe something rebellious and adventurous, yet mysterious is about to take place. As they walk the music changes to peaceful and then takes on a joyful tone. However, it seems tensions begin to grow as she feels at more and more unease with her partner. Instincts tell her to walk away, and she does in the middle of the night while he is sleeping. The music begins to change tone as if symbolizing the closing chapter in this story. A new one begins the next morning as she awakes to the light, she realizes she was where she once was, alone, only this time not afraid.

D3@r Cl4sS,

Rlly enjoyed the pre-colonial ~vibes~ of Yedd@ Morrison's piece. Plus, how cool a name is Yedd@ XD!!! The common theme I seemed 2 find w/ the creative werks we looked at this w33k is that while each piece played w/ traditional works, ideaz, social issuez in a somewhat playful and witty manner (blocking out words from a r@cist book (fr*ck yeah!), making cards for wh3n ppl do f-d up stuff, making a phone line for poemz and poemz only), the result was still a serious and compl@tive werk that was actually extremely profound and, especially in the case of Piper and Morrison, even harrowing. I @lso rlly enjoyed lewking at e-lit that was produced physically as well, as iz the case w/ this week's works. As much as I luv reading on the web, therez something so powerful abt a physical object, like Morrison's cards, that m@ke such a big impact rather than if she had just sent them 2 ppl online. I'm beginning 2 feel lik electronic lit iz like modern art-- ppl who don't g3t it dismiss it as drivel but people who do see p@st its new and at timez confusing format and reach the h3@rt of the work, which, like all other art, is a comment@ry of the human experience. Plus [[n3w formats]] and writing stylez expand our ever-changing notion of wh@t is writing! Pr3tty ne@t!

Ta-ta 4 now,

The piece titled "Darkness (chapter 1)" is an electronic form of literature in which Yedda Morrison re-animates the text of Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness". Yedda highlights the words that describe images of nigh time wilderness. This is the story of which the background takes center stage as opposed to the man in the wilderness, we are left with a story of the wilderness itself. The author does a good job of highlighting the key phrases in which make up the dark forrest. The word DARKNESS is appropriately the only word kept from the original title. This is something that I have never come across before and it certainly goes outside of the realm of normal literature. In a sense Yedda has taken the work of one author and cut out everything around the storyline except for the setting, the setting in which is not the focal point of the storyline. One of the words which took me awhile to comprehend as to why it was chosen was the word GLITTER. It seems as this word does not go hand and hand with the rest of the words and phrases highlighted, however it seems even in the cold and dark night, we are still able to see specs of light, whether that be the moonlight shine upon the river or the fire flies amongst the night.

Looking inside through a macro lens, The Library of Babel is really cool in the sense that is essentially created a universe composed of everything that has ever been or can be written. It really captures the theme of electronic literature with it’s one of a kind technological setup able to scroll through countless words simply with the click of a mouse. While many of the words seem like utter nonsense, hence the name, perhaps there is a deeper [[meaning]] to the words in The Library of Babel. There is so much of the [[universe]] that remains in question as to what its purpose is and is lost in meaning, parallel to the Library, which is metaphorically represented here. The hexagonal chambers and shelves have all been interactively designed so we are able to explore the library as agents. I find myself lost in an endless sea of letters and think about this quote found on the page titled “theory”, “So much of the story told by our narrator conjures endless, desolate expanses of hexagons, repeating infinitely and inspiring both the reverence of the God who created them and despair at a life trapped inside them.”. The complexity and vastness of it all is what makes the library so unique.

ENG 116B: Introduction to Electronic Literature

What is not electronic literature today? Rather than introduce electronic literature or “e-lit” as a [[distinct]] literary [[category]], this course 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]], we’ll explore a range of new literary genres inhabiting, for example, computer scripts, image [[macros]], flash movies, social media, bandcamp releases, [[interactive]] applications, and print on demand books. Thinking through the present, this introduction 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’ll track the development of [[literature]] under the influence of computation up to works published in the present, as they emerge throughout the quarter. In lockstep, the course 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 course requires short weekly responses in an open format, as well as a mid-term and final assignment, which may be critical or creative in form, [[developed]] in conversation with the instructor. No previous experience in programming, [[poetry]], or literature is required.
