This is the hand-out I created for a talk I gave at UCLA and the University of Pennsylvania in 2008. I’d like to develop these ideas into a fuller paper that creates a basic set of critical principles by which to discuss the widely divergent forms of digital literature out there. I’m revising the entire [...]

I had the privilege, with collaborator Mark Jeffery, of participating in the exceedingly rich and diverse marathon-style event Noise!2010 at the Ontological-Hysteric Theater in NYC on June 26. I am including here a link to Danny Snelson's beautifully documented introduction to the poetry component that he curated. In his post on apasic-letters.com, Snelson conceptually situates [...]

http://www.faulttacticalnetwork.org/rcai It was only after I began working with Robert Coover in the Brown Literary Arts program in 1998 that I remembered my father commenting years earlier on Coover's book Pinocchio in Venice; as a foremost Scholar of the Pinocchio story and its appearances throughout history in literature and media, he was impressed with Coover's [...]

The Living Newspapers is a live installation consisting of pairs of ‘museum visitors’ seemingly engaged in pedestrian conversation. These conversations are actually comprised of real-time data harvested from the social networking environment, Twitter. The performers in The Living Newspapers act as subtle embodiments of the collective voice of social discourse.

For my first netpoetic project, I will address certain aspects of data-driven poetic work. Rather than attempt an exhaustive approach that considers the different ways in which electronic writers inhabit networks cannibalizing, channelling, and remixing data sources, I will take a localized approach, writing largely from my creative practice over the last few years and through some recent/current projects. I do this, on the one hand, because it is simply what I know at the moment and perhaps may stimulate ideas or conversation (for others and myself as I catalog and move forward). I also attempt this out of the feeling that practice-based dialogue is an under-engaged element in the discourse of e-lit (but one beginning to unfold here at netpoetic).
