Marvella says, "I like the ideas that come from the medium, some
of which I mentioned in the intoduction to this issue."
mezchine libi][torpe][does the point, a general creative ][s][urging,
marvella?
Marvella says, "yes"
Deena says, "How do you work with the medium to spark these ideas?"
MichelleG says, "for me, this medium is seductive because it so
stridently challenges the constraints under which we've come to
imagine what writing might be." /more

Interview and chat with Talan
Memmott, winner of the Second trAce/AltX New Media Writing Competition
4th February 2001
In
the trAce WebBoard chatroom
<Helen>: how long does it take you to produce a work like
Lexia to Perplexia?
<Talanm>: well, I think L2P takes an application approach
in its formation... It is a package... and operates within itself,
theough the interaction of the user... it is an abstraction that
cannot be abstracted from itself...
<Talanm> L2P took about 9 months to complete... but the
work is ongoing with the advent of Netscape 6 -- as much of the
code must be revisited...
<Helen> Does it come to you as a whole or do you work on
the elements separately? I know that you don't see a distinction
between the elements -- even the click of the mouse is part of
the "reading"
<Talanm>: The formation of the work comes out of a lot of
PRE:media(t)ation.... It is formed together, or things grow out
of other things... /more

Writers'
Workshop: Chat with Alan Sondheim Sunday 6 February
2000
An interview
with trAce Writer-in-Residence Alan Sondheim about his work on
(and off) the Net. Part of a series of Writers' Workshop Chats
with writers working on the frontiers of the Net.
<Helen_Whitehead>
What brought you to the Net?
<Alan>
Distribution more than anything - I'd worked with offline computers
years ago, made a number of films as well as video and other pieces
(including writing programs I did in Pascal) - but the Net initially
offered distribution and the ability in a strange way to fine-tune
the planet
<Helen_Whitehead>
fine-tune the planet?
<Alan>
It was a very natural progression - I had worked in short-wave
at one point, and video quite often. Fine-tune in the sense that,
say with unix or linux or running amuck in the tcpip programs
you can speed up connections, route things, etc. - and I was and
am still, fascinated the way the planet works or becomes a membrane,
appears like that -
Online
Party
Sunday 25 July 1999
trAce members were invited to drop by the trAce meeting room at
LinguaMOO to join poet and playwright Kim Morrissey in celebrating
the birthday of Elizabeth Siddal, Pre-Raphaelite poet, artist,
model and wife of D.G. Rossetti. After cutting the birthday cake,
Kim, author of 'Clever As Paint' (a re-examination of the life
of Elizabeth Siddal) led a discussion of issues around Women and
Poetry. As the guests logged on one by one, they found Kim reading
aloud from Siddal's work:
Kim says, "One face looks out from all his canvasses,"
Kim says, "One self-same face sits or walks or leans:"
Kim says, "We find her hidden just behind those screens,"
Discussing
Hypertext Sunday
13 June 1999
We enter the conversation at a point where Rouen isn't sure
she agrees that plots are linear or have to appear linear
Marvella says, "Me neither, Rouen."
Marvella says, "That's a challenge."
Marvella says, "One thing for sure, something has to happen of
a dramatic nature."
Rouen says, "but with elegant navigation, perhaps not a problem.......
Sharing
a Common Language Tuesday
15th September 1998
The log of an online event held by the Globewide
Network Academy. Sue Thomas introduced the work of trAce and
discussed the implications of creating an international cybercommunity
of writers and readers based around the 'English' language. English
speakers claim to share a common tongue, but it is used differently
by Australians, Americans, Canadians and the British - not to
mention those for whom it is a second or third language. Can we
ever communicate effectively?
Imagining
a Stone Wednesday
29th July 1998
The log of an online meeting held as part of the Lecture Series
Ensemble
Logic & Choragraphy curated by Teri Hoskin, Adelaide,
Australia. The meeting involved a tour of a series of virtual
rooms created by Sue Thomas including several responses to works
by the artist Andy Goldsworthy.
