Kia ora koutou ADA list, I’ve started doing some research on the history of digital art and literature in NZ, and the ADA archive in particular.
There’s a bunch of good works of digital poetry around, some on the NZ Electronic Poetry Centre. But I’m wondering if any list members have ideas on early works for digital narrative / fiction that was created by writers based in Aotearoa or by New Zealanders based elsewhere? Who might be the first author of a digital fiction in this country??? Oh, and here is the definition for digital fiction we are working from: “fiction written for and read on a computer screen that pursues its verbal, discursive and/or conceptual complexity through the digital medium, and would lose something of its aesthetic and semiotic function if it were removed from that medium” (Bell et al. 2010). Or to put it simply: “fiction written for and read on a computer screen that would lose something aesthetically if it were removed from that medium” Any and all thoughts are appreciated!
