Reaching out to new readers of electronic literature is now easier, thanks to the widespread use
and accessibility of digital media--computers, smartphones, electronic tablets, gaming consoles.
The channels are in place, but how do new audiences discover and read electronic literature?
This paper will present two case studies of two different events whose purpose is to introduce
readers to electronic literature. Both cases show how managing the performative aspects of electronic literature and its context is essential to engage new readers.

Oracle is a voice recognition and interpretive grammar based interactive performance artwork. The performer's speech, a series of questions posed by the audience, is acquired and presented in a digital projection. The computer system reads the acquired and collective texts, as they are layered upon one another, and generates answers to each question using a word from each of the prior questions.
Oracle requires a Intel based Mac pro computer, video projection and a speech recognition optimised microphone. The software was mainly authored by the artist but also requires Macspeech Dictate to be installed.
