Not literally on stickers, no. This technical report from the Trope Tank is “Stickers as a Literature-Distribution Platform,”<\/a> and is by Piotr Marecki. It’s just been released as TROPE-14-02 and is very likely to be the last report of 2014. Here’s the abstract:<\/p>\n

Contemporary experimental writing often directs its attention to its writing space, its
\nmedium, the material on which it is presented. Very often this medium is meaningful
\nand becomes part of the work \u2013 the printed text transfered to another media context
\n(for instance, into a traditional book) would become incomprehensible. Literature
\ndistributed on stickers is a form of writing that is divided into small fragments of texts
\n(a type of constrained writing), physically scattered in different locations. One of the
\nnewest challenges in literature are books with augmented reality, AR, which examine
\nthe relation between the physical (the medium) and the virtual interaction. Sticker
\nliterature is a rather simple analog form of augmented reality literature. The stickers
\nhave QR codes or web addresses printed on them, so the viewer who reads\/sees a
\nrandom sticker in the public space can further explore the text online. The viewer can
\nread other parts of the text on photographs (the photograph being another medium) of
\nother stickers placed in different locations. The author will discuss the use of stickers
\nthroughout literary history, beginning with 20th century French Situationists, through
\ndifferent textual strategies applied by visual artists and ending with literary forms such
\nas the sticker novel Implementation<\/i> (2004) by Nick Montfort and Scott Rettberg or
\nStoberskiade<\/i> (2013). The author shall try to explain why writers decide to use this form,
\nhow the text is distributed and received and how the city space is used in such projects.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
