- ArticleDistributed Cognition in/at Work: Strickland, Lawson, and Ryan's SLIPPINGGLIMPSEHayles, N. Katherine (2008) , S. 1-2slippinglgimpse by Stephanie Strickland and Cynthia Jaramillo stages a three-way conversation between poem-texts, with phrases appropriated from photographers, videographers, and programmers, with Paul Ryan's videography of dynamic fluid systems, with complex algorithmic interactions between text and dynamic images. The two main conceptual issues at stake here, as I see it, are 1) the relationship between human and non-human cognizers, and 2) the intricate play between dynamic and static systems. The first involves natural systems such as wind/water interactions, human readers/writers, and machine cognizers; the second involves emergent patterns amidst continually changing flux (and implicitly, electronic text vs. print). There are also meta-issues involving interactions between the two main issues, for example, how deterministic machine operations can nevertheless lead to emergent and unpredictable results, and how human cognizers excel in recognizing patterns amidst noisy systems (perceiving the emergent patterns as such).

- ArticleReading the Discursive Spaces of TEXT RAIN: Transmodally. A PrécisRicardo, Francisco J. (2008) , S. 1-3Many multimodal digital works now transcend established conventions and forms of literature’s essentially textual character by transforming, within their own structure, the presence and nature of text so that it is experienced in a new function, less lexically than in concert with other modalities. A proverbial instance of this transmodal text is exemplified by Utterback and Achituv’s Text Rain. I begin with a distinction over the de-modalization that characterizes “pure literature” and move toward the larger ecriture that occupies the discursive spaces of this transmodal work, in a reading that defines itself around experiential poeisis and against interpretation.
- ArticleWhat is and to What End Do We Read Digital Literature? Opening WordsSimanowski, Roberto (2008) , S. 1-9Traditional literature dreamt of readers who are the heros of the text they read - and are killed while reading. Digital literature indeed bridges the gap between the world of the narrative and the world of the recipient. Here the reader can kill and being killed. This introduction to the US-German conference Reading Digital Literature talks about the differences between print and digital literature. It explains why digital literature is only digital if it is not only digital, why the code is not the text unless it is the text, to what extent a hermeneutics of digital signs requires a new methodological approach, and holds that "digital literacy" after all is still inevitably based on reading skills.
