Digital literature

For the past few weeks, I've been London-exhibiting a version of my Interactive Fiction work called "T[he]Issue" as part of a second site showing of Beyond The Interface. "T[he]Issue: The Geospatial and Mixed-Locative Colonisation Act of 2014" ("T[he]Issue" for short) is a work originally commissioned by Julian Stadon and Furtherfield Gallery for the Beyond the Interface Exhibition as part of the 2014 International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality in Munich, Germany.

…so here I am innocently dancing away in my studio chair to this track while craft-carving away at our "Provocare" Digital Fiction, and I've just received some amazing feedback about our Dreaming Methods co-produced project "Pluto" - an Aussie Technical Writer was so impressed with what he'd seen of the project he's been inspired to start writing creatively again!

"Taking its name from music and remix culture, a 'mashup' in literature is an extended remixed work that often brings two disparate works or genres together and 'mashes' them into a single new work. In literature, popular examples have taken the form of classic literature crossed with trashy genre, but Rumours of My Death will instead 'mash' past and present.

Amped about my imminent contributor copy arrival of Enter Mag's "Repurposing in E-Lit" Edition: the mag is so beautifully designed. Was sincerely a blast dead-tree-format-reimagining our VR code poetry app #Carnivast in such a way. For those of you who can't quite wait for a physical copy to hit the shelves, here's a taste of the edition itself:

Very happy to have been a part of this fabbo festival. See you next year, indeedily.
