Title: HyperRhiz: New Media Cultures

URL: http://www.hyperrhiz.net/

Collection: Electronic Literature: Collections of Works

Description: In close affiliation with Rhizomes, a parent journal of HyperRhiz, this Site hosts experimental web-based projects. HyperRhiz also provides a forum for the presentation of electronic installations, games, and performances through the use of archival video, photo, and text documentation. It is a peer-reviewed online journal of net art and electronic literature that is published twice-yearly. The journal features an integrated weblog for ongoing news of interest, an online forum for teachers of electronic literature, and a wiki for experimental writing. These features provide a forum for scholars and practitioners of new media culture. The editor's interest lies "in the genres of electronic discourse, and how these formats might affect the expression of complex discourses within new media." HyperRhiz welcomes submissions of net-ready art projects, electronic literature works, and review essays. As the journal's name suggests, works written in the spirit of Deleuzian approaches are welcomed but not required. ISSN: 1555-9351. Entry drafted by: Patricia Tomaszek

Title: Gabriella Infinita

URL: http://www.javeriana.edu.co/gabriella_infinita/

Collection: Electronic Literature: Individual Works

Description: Gabriella Infinita, a metamorphical work, is a lesson in the evolution of the internet. Three versions of the text are available: Novel, Hypertext and Hypermedia. In the tale, Gabriella arrives at the apartment of her lover, Frederico, the author, only to find him disappeared. In his stead, she has only his things, his writings, his clippings, his recordings. At the same time, in a parallel narrative, a group of people try to escape a building. They are trapped, moreso than they think, for they are characters in one of his stories. Since Rodríguez Ruiz made all of these versions available on the web (with commentaries), they serve as an excellent study in the forms themselves. In no way a lesson in progress, the adaptations and translations of his own tale reveal the strengths and limitations of these forms. Entry drafted by: Mark C. Marino

Collection: Electronic Literature: Collections of Works

Description: Poems that Go was an online literary journal that showcased kinetic, digital poems quarterly from 2000-2004. The journal was motivated by the question “What makes a poem a poem?” particularly when that poem is configured in digital form that goes beyond the written word by intersecting motion, sound, image, text, and code. The site features an extensive collection of Flash-based poems that display poetry to be multimodal and excitingly experimental. Entry drafted by: Patricia Tomaszek

Title: These Waves of Girls

URL: http://www.yorku.ca/caitlin/waves/

Collection: Electronic Literature: Individual Works

Description: These Waves of Girls is a hypermedia novella exploring memory, girlhoods, cruelty, childhood play, and lesbian sexuality. The piece is composed as a series of small stories, artifacts, interconnections, and meditations from the point of view of a girl (or girls) at various ages from four to twenty. Fisher's work is distinct for its hypermedia features: each text passage is illustrated by new images and therefore presents a new interface for each chunk of text, some passages are read by the author. On the level of content, the story's characters try to find and come to terms with their sexuality. Figuratively, this construction of self is mirrored in the hypertextual structure Fisher makes use of: The reader witnesses the characters' identity construction by following one link after the other, coming closer to what identity means to the stories' characters': "We've all been fifteen. I look very much the same, only at fifteen I'm a little larger, a little stronger. I'll believe anything. I tell people I believe nothing." Entry drafted by: Patricia Tomaszek
