Our first series of online chats
with writers working at the frontiers of the Web.
The writers
talked live on Sundays at 21:00 London [16:00 New York, 13:00 L.A.,
06.00 (Mon) Sydney], at the trAce chatroom at the WebBoard. Writers'
chat takes place every Sunday.
- What inspires
their online work?
- What approach
do they take to the creation of an online work, and is it
different from their approach to a print work?
- What
software, hardware and web technologies do they find inspiring,
and how do they use them in the writing process?
- How do they
document their work in the trAce Writers' Journals and
elsewhere?
Participants are
encouraged to send questions in advance of the workshops, either for
particular artists, or for all. Please email questions in advance to
helen.whitehead@ntu.ac.uk
This archive of
information about current web practice complements the Writers' Journals.

who gets labeled "net.artist" and "multimedia practitioner" with
tendrillonic regularity, she holds degrees in Applied Social Science
& Creative Arts, and bastardizes her arts practice via arts
journalism in order to actualize her chrome hypaTeXtian visions
& avatarian state[ment]s." Rhizome's
