Actually I haven’t had the energy to keep mining each of the presentations at The Network as a Space and Medium for Collaborative Interdisciplinary Art Practice, but they were rich in provocation and new ideas, and now I have to post something to follow “part 1.” The workshop went very well; particularly good were two long evenings of electronic literature, digital poetry, and readable digital art that were done by individuals but showcased collaboration. These two readings stood out because so much of the workshop time (which usually would have gone to very full days of panels) was dedicated to the presentation of creative work, and because the variety and quality of work was stellar.
You can check the twitsphere to see what was twot about the workshop.
A big thanks to Scott Rettberg for putting on this event and for inviting us Americans to join this international discussion.
Ta-da! I have here an entry in the “most trivial comment” category! Yes, this is just about as obscure and pointless as any comment could possibly be!
“Apothegm” is a misspelling of “apophthegm”, although the OED recognizes the former as a variant of the latter. Can’t pronounce it? That’s because you’re not Greek!
