The first panel of the day was about process intensive literature. The chair for the panel was Susan Schreibman. The panelists were Dene Grigar, Rob Kendall, Nick Montfort, Scott Rettberg, Stephanie Strickland, and Noah Wardrip-Fruin. Each panelist was given five minutes to talk before opening things up to audience questions.

 

I did not write down much for anyone besides Dr. Rettberg. Scott talked about Oulipo constraints. Here are some of the things he talked about in regards to electronic literature:

  • Rules-Specified constraints

  • Non Hierarchal distribution for E-Lit

  • Different system of reviews (blogs, etc)

  • Global distribution

  • “Communitizing” and creating a market of ideas

  • How to read ergodic text

  • How does format effect output?

He also had an interesting power point which he hopefully, he will upload to the net. has posted to his blog.
