The ELO and Two E-Lit Exhibits

After introducing the Electronic Literature Organization and some ways to characterize the concept of e-lit, I describe two small exhibits that worked well by taking the opportunities offered by two different contexts: Codings, an exhibit at the Pace Digital Gallery, Pace University, New York. Curated by Nick Montfort. Featuring work by Giselle Beiguelman; Commodore Business Machines, Inc.; Adam Parrish; Jörg Piringer; Casey Reas; and Páll Thayer. Gallery directors, Frank Marchese and Jillian Mcdonald. February 28 - March 30, 2012. Games by the Book, an exhibit at the Hayden Library, MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Curated by Clara Fernández-Vara and Nick Montfort. Featuring work by Douglas Adams, Steven Meretzky, and the BBC; Charlie Hoey and Pete Smith; Jon Thackray and Jonathan Partington; and the Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab. September 7 - October 8, 2012.
