Join us on February 18 at 6:00pm in the Stedman Gallery for the official launch of the Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 3. This is an international collection of historical and contemporary works of electronic literature published by the Electronic Literature Organization, and many of the works from this collection are featured in the Stedman Gallery’s “Electronic Literature: A Matter of Bits” show currently on display. The editors of the collection – Leonard Flores, Anastasia Salter, Stephanie Boluk, and Jacob Garbe – will talk about their approach to editing the ELC. After the editors’ presentation, guests will be welcomed to interact with works from more than 50 authors from around the world.
Join us Thursday, January 21 at 12:00 in the ModLab (Fine Arts 215) for a workshop called “Tell Me a Secret.” The workshop will be led by visiting artist Vinicius Marquet, and lunch will be served.
Marquet, author of Anacrón: hipótesis de un producto todo, on display in the “E-Lit: A Matter of Bits” exhibition in the Stedman Gallery, will lead this workshop as part of an experience-sharing project between communities. Participants will graphically depict secrets shared by people in the Netherlands. At the end of the workshop, participants will be invited to anonymously share their own secrets in order to feed future versions of the project.
On December 2-3, ALIS will visit the DSC from Paris to help construct Camden’s own Typomatic. The Typomatic appears to be a photobooth, but it is much more. Once inside, you can cut words in half and discover how you might piece them back together again. You might begin by typing your name: You will come out of Typomatic with half of a new identity.
Students and faculty are welcome to join in the construction of this device, which involves building the booth as well as writing code. The two-day workshop will culminate in an official opening of the Rutgers-Camden Typomatic at 3:00pm on December 3 in the ModLab (Fine Arts 215).
Join us on November 3 at 12:20 in the ModLab (Fine Arts 215) as the R Users Network (RUN) hosts a special meeting featuring two guest speakers. Dr. Jillian Sayre (English) will discuss teaching with R, and Dr. Dan Hart (Psychology/Childhood Studies) will talk about his research using R. Faculty/students/staff interested in teaching R or using R for their research are invited to attend.
Fans and friends of Dr. Sayre and Dr. Hart are also encouraged to join in the fun. The Digital Studies Center is hosting the event, with co-sponsorship from the Childhood Studies Graduate Student Organization. Lunch will be provided.
