Two great hypertext and new media events are on for this week in Boston. On Tuesday, 24 April, check out the Lite Show, an international juried festival highlighting the best in low-bandwidth web-based motion graphics and interactive media, at a screening at the Bartos Theater, 20 Ames Street, Cambridge (on the MIT campus). The screening begins at 7 pm. A workshop and gallery opening are scheduled for Saturday; visit the Lite Show website for details. On Wednesday night, the Boston T-1 Party will feature readings by noted hypermedia artists (including Shelley Jackson and M. D. Coverley) at the Boston Public Library in the Back Bay. Both events are free and open to the public. The Lite Show and the T-1 Party are projects of Boston Cyberarts and the 2001 Boston Cyberarts Festival. The Boston Cyberarts Festival seeks volunteers to staff CyberArtCentral, the festival's hub. The Boston Cyberarts Festival is a celebration of art and technology at over 75 arts organizations throughout the greater Boston area from April 21 to May 6. If you can spare three hours anytime during the festival, and if you'd like to be right in the middle of all the action, email volunteers@bostoncyberarts.org or call Vanessa Trien at (617) 524-8495. Volunteers get some terrific perks, including an invitation to the opening gala, festival t-shirts, CDs and sponsor giveaways, admission to festival events, and an invitation to a post-festival volunteer party at the home of George Fifield, director of Boston Cyberarts and curator of the DeCordova Museum. Last Thursday's Watertown Tab carried Susie Seefelt LeSieutre's feature on Eastgate Systems, Cozy Up With Good Mouse. If you'd like to receive a faxed copy of the article, shoot an email to Diane Greco. Eastgate's Mark Bernstein said, "Here we are, four people in a farmhouse in Watertown, Massachusetts. We pay our bills, we pay our rent, we pay our people, we've been here for a long time." Howard Kamentsky debuts new work at Pixeltoon, including Fredda the Fireman, an interactive game for the preschool set. Thanks, Howard! Scott Price and Vika Zafrin have compiled an index of work discussed at eNarrative 2: Hypertext Narrative Flash. "whee, zip, wow. A Keanu Reeves-like "whoah." Those are my first reactions to the eNarrative2 conference that happened Feb. 24-25, 2001. " The MIT Communications Forum presents a real-time webcast of a symposium on The Digital Museum on Thursday 8 March 2001, at 5-7 p.m. EST, with streams for high-speed and low-speed connections. Are digital technologies allowing museums to reinvent themselves? This Forum will reflect on the ways in which museums are exploiting new technologies to transform both internal practices and communication with their varied audiences through marketing, access to collections, exhibitions, and public programs. What are the risks of these new ways of working? And what lies ahead for the digital museum? Local History: Check out eNarrative 1 participant Al Barten's short history of the Conway Electric Street Railway. "The Conway Electric Street Railway was the very embodiment of a rural street railway, as unique and remote as each of its neighboring hilltowns in Western Massachusetts. The 6-mile road operated from November 3, 1895 to sometime in 1921, providing Conway's citizens and businesses with a vital link to the Boston & Maine and New Haven railroads, and thus the outside world. At the end, the little red cars just stopped running. No one knows exactly when." Ad Verbum, Nick Montfort's latest interactive fiction, is a free download. At Harvard University, noted historian and author Simon Schama delivered The Tanner Lectures on Human Values: Random Access Memory: History in the Digital Age. Professor Schama's fascinating lectures ranged from Herodotus to HTML, demonstrating that information technologies like hypertext are transforming even the dustiest reaches of human memory (e.g. archives), with far-reaching effects on the practice and teaching of history. The web design firm Uovo, having opened a Boston office, has started a Boston-area discussion group for designers, creative directors, and traditional artists, focusing on new media, design, trends, and emerging technology. The aim of the discussion group is to promote thought exchange and collaboration among a group of committed, artistic professionals. Contact J. Nordberg for further information. Boston writer Ralph Lombreglia begins a new monthly column, "Digital Reader," for the Atlantic Monthly's Web site. The first column, "Exit Gutenberg," reviews the recent eBook World conference in New York. An interview with Mark Bernstein has appeared in Content Spotlight, a resource site for writers. Bernstein says: "There is no substitute for wonderful writing. Text is our best way -- often our only way -- of expressing many complex and important ideas. Chemistry, epistemology, political economics, traffic regulations: if you're serious, you're writing... The idea that new media are driven by sound and image -- that electronic writing is "like TV" -- is simply a mistake. People often think that young readers want more sound and immersion and pure sensual entertainment. People ALWAYS say this. It's not about new media or graphics or the Web, it's about our resentment of adolescents for their nice bodies and their vexing self-absorption." Eastgate's Mark Bernstein has a new home page. Of interest is a new adaptation of his Hypertext 2000 talk, "More Than Legible: on links that readers don't want to follow." Congratulations to Sarah Smith, author of King of Space, on the publication of her latest novel, A Citzen of the Country, which received a feature rave in Saturday's Boston Globe. Sarah's book site, http://www.sarahsmith.com/, is also exemplary. Slides from Mark Bernstein's recent talk, "Where the Hypertexts Are", are available on the Web. Requires Flash Mark Bernstein writes that he recently had drinks with Peter Wasilko, director the The Continuity Project, who was in Boston for a conference on multi-agent systems. Wasilko's recent work on Touch Up, a Storyspace post-processor, is an interesting hint of the future of tool integration: Storyspace didn't do quite what Continuity needed, so Continuity extended Storyspace. New software architecture should make this much easier in the near future. Eastgate's offices have seen some unusual things since 1982, but today is the first time they've hosted a wedding. Congratulations to Barbara Bean and Larry Davidson!. Contrary to rumors, the bride is not expected to be shrink-wrapped.
Remo Campopiano, a sculptor who specializes in ant installations, will open his latest work, Under the Volcano, at both the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park (Lincoln, MA) and on the Web on May 13. Over a three-month period, 2500 live California harvester ants (yes, they bite) will move millions of grains of sand over a microchip landscape under the digital gaze of three Antcams. Campopiano is one of ten artists presented in The 2000 DeCordova Annual Exhibition. Antcams! Now there's a niche! Richard Smyth, author of Genetis, has a new home page.
On April 5, Diane Greco will speak on Hypertext: A Girl's Guide to Getting Over It at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. A transcript of last December's AOL chat discussion with Eastgate editor Diane Greco is now available.
The Council of Literary Magazines and Presses, in conjunction with the editors of Fence and Literal Latte, will hold a Literary Magazine Fair and Roundtable Discussion on Sunday, April 16, from 12-5 pm at the Housing Works Used Bookstore Cafe in New York City. The roundtable, " Words on the Verge: Encountering Literature in the 21st Century, " will place the literary magazine in the context of innovative literary endeavors at the turn of this millennium. A panel of artists, publishers, and editors -- including Eastgate editor and author Diane Greco -- will discuss the roles of media, old and new, in shaping readers and writers in the next century. A special emphasis will be placed on the significance of the literary magazine in a world exploding with new media forms.
In cyberspace, there are also writers and artists, people who are motivated by words and ideas, not by option packages and leveraged buyouts. The International Laboratory for the History of Science, sponsored by the Dibner Institute (MIT), has launched a website to commemorate its 1998 meeting, "Hidden Entities and the Devices that Manipulate Them," in which Newton's prism experiments were replicated and discussed. Eastgate's editor, Diane Greco, contributed the write-up. Diane Greco, author of Cyborg: Engineering the Body Electric, has a new home page.
Chris Kelty's "Scale and Convention: Programmed Languages in a Regulated America" is a new hypertext dissertation. A correspondent writes, "This is the real deal...Extraordinarily well-written and engaging, nominally an ethnography of telemedicine in the Boston area but in fact an inside, anthropologist's view of an internet startup, thrillingly written and intelligent. Nice interface too--the guiding metaphor is a nutrition-information label." Stephanie Strickland (author of Sandeen Prize winner True North) has won the Boston Review poetry prize for her forthcoming Web hypertext, The Ballad of Sand and Harry Soot, coming October 15 to Word Circuits. Congratulations! Mark Bernstein writes that the traditional Eastgate expedition to visit the Boston Red Sox was a narrative-filled evening. The game was filled with errors and the crowd was filled with stories, especially the five British golfers who were in town for the Ryder Cup. All were keenly interested in puzzling out the arcane rules of baseball. "The atmosphere is somewhere between football and cricket." To mark the launch of MIT's graduate program in Comparative Media Studies, an international conference, "Media in Transition," will be held October 8-10 on the MIT campus. The conference will examine "our emerging computer culture in the perspective of ancestor technologies and older media." Speakers include Matthew Kirschenbaum, on "The Other End of Print: David Carson, Graphic Design, and the Aesthetics of Media," and Roderick Coover, "On the Rhetorics and Conventions of Visual Media in the Representation of Cultures." Registration is free and open to the public. For details, visit the conference home page. Donald Knuth, whose Art of Computer Programming remains one of the masterworks of computer science, will offer a series of public lectures this Fall at MIT on God and Computers: "Things a Computer Scientist Rarely Talks About". Thanks PeterMe! An interview with Bruno creator Christopher Baldwin is the cover feature of the summer issue of Inkblots. Baldwin, a long-time Massachusetts resident, is now headed for Portland, Oregon. Bruno is sponsored by Eastgate. Diane Greco, hypertext editor and author of Cyborg: Engineering the Body Electric, has a new home page. Lance Arthur has redesigned glassdog with a new color scheme and a new navigation widget that moves as you scroll. Harvey Blume reviews the Boston Cyberarts Festival for The Atlantic Unbound. "Such a wide variety of work and such wildly varied uses of the computer were on view at galleries in and around Boston that one might conclude that the search for the digital masterpiece...is misconceived." A new HypertextNow addresses the question of Electronic Reading. Mark Bernstein argues that "There is no longer room for doubt: the literature of our future will be electronic." New JerseyInternet artist Alan Sondheim will speak on 7 May 2002 at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. This event will be held at 2:30 p.m in 1400 GITC Building on the NJIT campus. Sondheim's presentation is the third in the 2002 New Media Performance Series at NJIT.Thanks, Chris Funkhouser! New Jersey Institute of Technology has announced a lecture series on New Media, with Eastgate editor, Diane Greco (Cyborg), Chris Funkhouser, Tina La Porta, and Stephanie Strickland (True North).

From the release: "Christiane will focus her talk on hypertext and narrative environments on the Net. She will show the early hypertext software Storyspace and narratives created in it as well as the more hybrid forms that hypertextual narratives have taken on the Net. These forms range from purely textual environments to visual and "cinematic" ones." The talk begins at 7:30 pm. Thanks, Vivien Selbo and Bill Bly! Through 31 March, the Studio Museum in Harlem (144 W 125th St, NYC) presents Race in Digital Space, a show that seeks to understand how digital technology affects artistic practices, and how technology influences race and ethnicity.

The Brooklyn Academy of Music will be presenting Listening Post, a net art installation/performance, as part of a series of new media art. The piece, by sound artist Ben Rubin and statistician Mark Hansen, asks what the collective voice of the Internet sounds like. Together, they transform collective online activity and communication into a multi-layered sound installation by monitoring thousands of online exchanges in real time to pick up rhythms, harmonies, melodies. The installation is on view until 16 December. Shelley Jackson, author of the celebrated hypertext, Patchwork Girl, performed a live reading at KGB, 84 E 4th St, in the East Village (NYC) on Saturday, 27 October at 7 pm.

At Brown University's conference on Technology Platforms For 21st Century Writing, Cathy Marshall demonstrated a prototype of Forward Anywhere, running on the XLibris electronic book. XLibris is designed for active reading -- annotation and marking are the core of the tool, not an added facility. This is also an interesting example of a hypertext moving without great difficulty from one platform (a custom Macintosh and Windows application) to another. PennsylvaniaCecilia Buchanan, perhaps best known for her dissertation
work (with Polle Zellweger) on hypertext multimedia, has left New Zealand
for a spell at Haverford/Bryn Mawr/Swarthmore. She writes that, "I got
really interested in the use of technology in education, so I thought
I would get involved with instructional technology. So for the past year,
I've been working with faculty and staff at all three colleges to get
more faculty to use technology in their teaching." The Warhol Museum invites readers to a Web exhibition on "Community Forums Online".

Mary-Kim Arnold, author of "Lust", has taken up a new position as Communications Coordinator with the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University. Rosemary Simpson (Brown University) is extending her RingWorld hypertext navigation scheme with color applets. The revamped system, ColorWorld, will be demonstrated at the Electronic Schoolhouse at SIGGRAPH. Kokura is a new hypertext fiction for the Web by Mary-Kim Arnold and Matthew Derby. Robert Coover called it "a moving, somewhat melancholic hyperfiction centering (quite literally) on the atomic bomb. Washington, D. C.Mark Bernstein writes that, though it's Web site isn't particularly notable, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum itself is a fascinating study of effective use of new and old media and (re)mediation. The museum uses film and video pervasively -- there's almost always a screen or two in sight, wherever you are -- but is always careful not to substitute video for artifact. Even more interesting is the way the designers present artifacts and reconstructions for realistic impact, yet always with care not to create a simulation or simulacrum. In Washington, D.C. West VirginiaSusan Warshauer's course, Virtual Environments, will be taught this Spring through West Virginia University's online distance learning program.
Thursday, October 8, Torill Mortensen spoke at West Virginia University on "Computer Games, Reading, and Reader-Response Theory."
