---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2005 08:40:55 +0000 From: John Cayley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: occasional programmatology Apologies for crosspostings and spam-aspect - I hope some of what is noted here will be of interest. - The Electronic Book Review is back on line. I've updated my links. http://electronicbookreview.com/ It has a new and better interface with recent pieces by myself in the Electropoetics: Bass Resonance (also published in Mute) http://www.electronicbookreview.com/thread/electropoetics/dynamic ... and the First Person threads: Literal Art http://www.electronicbookreview.com/thread/firstperson/programmatology And a very interesting new essay by Brian Kim Stefans, responding to the Pixels/Lines section of First Person: http://www.electronicbookreview.com/thread/firstperson/databased From my pov, there is a lot to take issue with in Brian's piece, but he presents cogent and useful critique as a poet=language art practitioner. In a sense, some of what I'd say back to him is tightly packed into the riposte-to-ripostes for my own First Person contribution: http://www.electronicbookreview.com/thread/firstperson/compiler Please also watch out for my ongoing dialogue with Rita Raley, which is due to be 'portalled' via EBR. ------ - There is also new work-in-progress, and new versions of work on my site: wotClock - a QuickTime 'speaking clock' http://www.shadoof.net/in/?wotclock.html lens - study piece for writing in immersive VR http://www.shadoof.net/in/?lens.html translation - version 5 is the latest http://www.shadoof.net/in/?translation.html overboard - Windows version recently fixed (again) in the wake of QT7 http://www.shadoof.net/in/?overboard.html These should all be playable on Windows XP machines, although they will run better on good Apples. ----- - Just got hold of the collection of papers edited by Kate Hayles: Hayles, N. Katherine, ed. Nanoculture: Implications of the New Technoscience. Bristol: Intellect Books, 2004.
