The Ebb and Flow of the Tide to Appear at ELO 2008 Media Arts Show
This summer, THE EBB AND FLOW OF THE TIDE will appear as part of a juried Media Art Show held in conjunction with the Electronic Literature Organization's 2008 Conference, "Visionary Landscapes". TIDE was selected as one of the 44 works to appear, from among 151 applicants. Details of the conference are located here. Download and play TIDE here.
Why "Visionary Landscapes"? The conference website explains:
Producing a work of electronic literature entails not only practice in the literary arts but sometimes also the visual, sonic, and the performative arts; knowledge of computing devices and software programs; and experience in collaboration, interdisciplinarity, and hybridity. In short, electronic literature requires its artists to see beyond traditional approaches and sensibilities into what best can be described as visionary landscapes where, as Mark Amerika puts it, artists "celebrate an interdisciplinary practice from a literary and writerly perspective that allows for other kinds of practice-based art-research and knowledge sharing."
I am thrilled to be a part of the show, and hope to attend, depending on other commitments, such as that pesky work thing.
