Let’s continue our ride through digital literature on the pipes to games, publishing, bots, conceptual literature and storytelling. I present to you some bits and pieces rushing among the highway, highlights from my research that aim to give an overview over the state-of-the-art and some projects that caught my attention. A kaleidoscope. Continue reading #producing digital literature. Sideways
A threefold quest into digital literature.
Digital literature is ephemeral, sometimes even instantaneous, and in extreme cases even made to vanish (eg. in the form of interventions). That changes the way of disseminating it completely. Continue reading #disseminating digital literature
A threefold quest into digital literature.
What we expect from digital literature is not connected to mere technology.

Andrea Inglese named his new project something as big as “Describing the world”. One would think that this is a pretty big gesture – why would you actually attempt to describe the world / the only existing world / the world of what!?

Daniela Seel is author, publisher, lecturer and critic and one of the matadors of new poetry. When you are looking for new German contemporary voices from poetry you strike a bonanza when you look at the programme of kookbooks.

According to her, poetry should be a form of life rather than an evening entertainment. Continue reading Daniela Seel: „Laboratory for poetry as a form of living“

Usually that is called “transmedia storytelling” as you can see in the American TV series „Lost“ or Christian Ulmens „About:Kate“ (Germany). There is but one difference to social fiction 2.0.
