Mouvements à Distance** chorégraphies visiophoniques. Pouvons-nous arriver à un guidage collectif – un guidage par le milieu ? Suite de l’expérience du 14 déc. à la Biennale de Lyon. (youtu.be/yn0PomJOwNQ)

L’imaginaire nous a fait danser autrement dans cet atelier. Nous n’avons pas trop expérimenté le ressenti du corps. Etait-ce une façon d’aller du centre au milieu ?

Le moment le plus impressionnant : Un cours de conduit par Jeannie à partir de son propre vocabulaire de personne se déplaçant en fauteuil roulant. Très intéressant. Nous étions obligées d’inventer quoi/comment faire pour suivre la guidance. C’était à nous de nous adapter, pas à elle. Merci Jeannie pour ce déplacement.

Et voici le compte rendu de l’atelier en entier en .pdf. (déroulé, d’autres photo’s, captures d’écran du ReadingClub etc.)

The Machinic Author

Our article The machinic author has been published in the Journal of Creative Writing Studies in a special Issue: Creative Making As Creative Writing.

… an artists’ statement that situates the work in feminist materiality (Barad) Kathi Berens.

“The author is this intra-action itself. The author is not “dead” as such. He has just changed his nature. The machinic author reveals herself as queer.“

Abrahams, Annie and Guez, Emmanuel (2019) ““The machinic author” Artist’s Statement: The Reading Club”, Journal of Creative Writing Studies: Vol. 4: Iss.1, Article 8. ISSN: 2474-2937.
Available at: https://scholarworks.rit.edu/jcws/vol4/iss1/8

“We take the Reading Club as an example for how nowadays reading and writing is entangled with machines and software. A real-time language game with a humorously competitive character becomes, through a public act of constructing and deconstructing sense, a creative apparatus. This literary “machine” does not write itself, but makes authors write text in a conversational space full of meanings and emotions. It is a kind of human text generator that challenges the idea of creation and where the authors are, at best, co-creators. Appearing in the 1960s, the “death of the author,” who is not really one, is actually the awareness of the emergence of the machinic author.”

Daniel Temkin – Reading as Writing, Coding as Public Performance

… the code poem* by Abrahams brought with it the nullified performativity of the code itself. It was filled with references to the body and to exchanges with other human beings and the machine, emphasizing the gestures that fail to completely traverse those divides. … 

… Reading Club builds on Abraham’s career in testing the power and limitation of online interaction and collaboration, but Apparatus_is {Other-s} in particular draws from the experience as living between languages. …

In Reading as Writing, Coding as Public Performance, Daniel Temkin / esoteric.codes wrote about the latest ReadingClub performance, part of The Wrong – New Digital Art Biennale in the @ scripting the other pavilion curated by noemata. Thanks Daniel for making the links to other parts of my work apparent.

Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 3

Reading Club (2013 – ….) included in
Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 3.

“The result is a material representation of the reader’s presence in the text. As the readers type, cut and paste, delete, format, and transform the text, the text becomes a conversational space in which read not just the text but each other’s interventions, guessing each other’s goals as they collaborate, riff, joust, and subvert each other.“

Editors : Stephanie Boluk, Jacob Garbe, Anastasia Salter, and Leonardo Flores.

Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 3. 1.0 – Launched February 18, 2016. The core ELC3, complete with works and editorial commentary, launched at the “Matter of Bits” exhibition at Rutgers University Camden.

ReadingClub – Potential ?

Conclusion? Potentiel? ReadingClub?

– FR L’interface du ReadingClub n’est pas apte au développement d’un contenu, à faire co-écrire un texte. Par contre il facilite des courtes batailles où les idées frappent et reçoivent et obtiennent une résilience ou pas et permet des expérimentations des formes poétiques aux esprits vagabonds, à un cerveau multiple. AA. Août 2015.

– ENG The interface of the ReadingClub is not for developing content, for co-creating a text. But it excels in facilitating short fights where ideas kick, receive and prove resilience, or not and it allows poetical form experiments for wandering minds / for a multiple mind.” AA. August 2015.
