The E-Lit Critical Making Group
In preparation for the spring exhibit, No
Legacy || Literatura electrónica, this fall we will gather to explore tools for
electronic literature and use them for creative work. We will play with tools
such as Twine, Inform 7, Undum, Flash, generative grammars, and bots.
Participants will receive an applied, rudimentary introduction to programming.
Using the Python Natural Language Tool Kit, we will learn how computers read
poetry and how they write poetry. We will gather at the end of the semester to
share work in a digital salon. If you are interested, please fill out this form and indicate your availability. No experience with
programming or digital tools is required, but interest in the subject matter is
key.
