This exhibition features works of electronic literature by María Mencía, Jody Zellen, and Angela Ferraiolo.

Scott Rettberg shows several collaborative projects, made together with Roderick Coover and Nick Montfort. Jeremy Welsh shows Spatial Traces, a video work with sound by Robert Worby, and Places/Traces, a selection of works-in-progress from an ongoing series of investigations of place in video, photography, sound and text. The project consists of several parts, including "SMS Bamboo Forest", an ongoing work combining digital photographs, video and sound, started in 2009 in a Chinese garden in Sydney.  Image below from the series Places/Traces (2010 - 2012) a collection of photographs recording traces and remnants, marks, scarrings, abandoned or discarded items and neglected spaces in the urban environment.

(Announcement): 

Do you have a vision of the (or a) future of interactive fiction that you would like to share with interested players, authors, implementers and theorists?

The IF Demo Fair will be running during PAX East (Boston, March 11-13), showcasing new and interesting demonstrations in the IF world.

These don’t need to be polished, complete games, just pieces that show off your concept. We’re particularly interested in demonstrations that explore one of our themes:

• novel ways to interact with in-game characters
• innovative user interfaces for text/story-based games

But if you have a great idea that doesn’t match either of these themes, send it anyway! We welcome any demonstration that can reasonably be construed as relating to interactive fiction and storytelling: traditional parser-based IF, works with multimedia and graphical components, choose-your-own-adventure, or interactive poetry.

A group-curated exhibition of Electronic Literature associated with the Version>02 Festival focused on the digital commons, held in Chicago in 2002.
