The Impermanent Book. A few months ago, Jonathan Franzen, author of The Corrections and Freedom, was quoted by The Telegraph from his Cartagena’s Hay Festival presentation: “Maybe nobody will care about printed books 50 years from now, but I do. When I read a book, I’m handling a specific object in a specific time and place. The fact that when I take the book off the shelf it still says the same thing - that’s reassuring… and he goes on … Someone worked really hard to make the language just right, just the way they wanted it. They were so sure of it that they printed it in ink, on paper. A screen always feels like we could delete that, change that, move it around. So for a literature-crazed person like me, it’s just not permanent enough.” His speech raised heated discussions in newspaper columns and on the internet. In the context of the Piracy Project, which we initiated in London in 2010, we discovered cases, which not only took control over the object, but over the content.

Samples. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// About machine poetry. a manifesto for the destruction of poets. "who can think about art, when there is a possibility for happiness? ", asks a contemporary writer. and if art is actually today's sleeping pill, wouldn't it be better to destroy that false refuge in order to face our unhappiness directly and overcome it? 1. the transformation of subversion into spectacle has left the poet (whose mission is to subvert language) without possibilities to escape. today, the poet is a rat trembling against the wall, under the dark shadow of the spectacular broom of power. 2. humanism has no place in a world that is quickly being destroyed by humans. the "human" charge that poetry used to bear is not morally sustainable anymore. 6. nevertheless, such machines can still be used to liberate humans from their own chains. this seems to be the ultimate frontier, and also our last resource. 12. machine poetry will fill humanity's last years with broken but beautiful words. girona, 2006.

The work you are holding in your hands represents, itself alone, a quantity of text far greater than everything man has written since the invention of writing, including popular novels, business letters, diplomatic correspondence, private mail, rough drafts thrown into the wastebasket, and graffiti.
Raymond Queneau's One Hundred Thousand Billion Sonnets (Cent Mille Milliards de poèmes) is one of the canonical Oulipian texts. This remarkable work consists of 14 groups of 10 lines of poetry each; the groups are ordered and the lines written such that one may select one line from the first group, one line from the second group, and so on until 14 lines are selected. These 14 lines, read in the order of selection, will comprise a sonnet. Since there are 10 options for each of 14 choices, it follows that exactly 1014 different sonnets may be produced using this method.
The presentation of this work creates something of a challenge. This presents a couple of problems. OuLiPo - Accueil. Afternoon, a story - Michael Joyce.

From 8th till 10th October I invited five artists for a workshop around i-literature in Constant Variable: Catherine Lenoble, Olivier Heinry, Stéphanie Vilayphiou and Nicolas Malevé.
All of us are hybrid artists with a special interest in literature. We knew bits and pieces of each others’ work, but I was curious to see what common grounds we would find in our approaches towards electronic literature, the experiences, the likes and the dislikes. It was great to be able to go into depth throughout the presentations of our work. Five different aspects of interesting i-literature experiences came out of this encounter: intertextuality, distributed works, the challenge of accessibility and licenses, collaborative processes, working with algorithms and parameters.
Of course, sometimes a work contains more than one aspect at the same time. Below you find the list, with for each aspect concrete examples of the works that were presented. 1. 2. 3. 4. . → An presented her work with Mikey Weinkove.
