trAce supports a number of online projects and collaborations between
writers, readers, artists and programmers. Some projects are time-limited
and some ongoing, and much of this activity occurs inside the online
Community.
Creative projects may be exclusive to trAce or run as part of a
Festival, larger project or writing class. We are always interested
in hearing ideas for new projects and if your suggestion is promising
we may provide you with space to develop it. (See also Studios)
Incubation
Incubation2
is the second trAce International Conference on Writing & the
Internet, and the premier international event for writers working
on the web. In 2000 it attracted 150 delegates from around the world,
including America, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Holland, Norway, Slovenia
and Sweden. 2002 promises to be even bigger. Incubation2 is not
just a chance to hear some of the best writers working on the web
today. It will provide a showcase for the writing of the future
and offer a glimpse into the work of writers who use the internet
to develop ground-breaking content: poetry with sound and images,
personal histories, news, journalism, stories with multiple endings.
This is writing on the web, for the web, and about the web.
Incubation
II will be held from 15-17th July 2002, again in Nottingham.
M
is for Nottingham?
This interactive collaborative Web drama, M
is for Nottingham?, for the Incubation2 conference was created
by Marjorie Coverley Luesebrink. The project combines collaborative
webwriting with a mystery game, an introduction to the history and
sights of Nottingham, and a live drama. It all takes place in the
lead up to, and during, Incubation. Writers come together at the
collaborative website to create a persona, find clues on the Web
and in the virtual haunts of Nottingham, and write segments of the
mystery story.
Home
We invite you to contribute your own memories and imaginings of
Home: the sound of it, the scent of it, the feel of it, the taste
of it. The place where *you* go for rest, refuge and satisfaction.
The site is designed as a series of questions to help focus your
thoughts - please answer as few or as many as you wish. Your responses
will be added to the collection immediately, and you can also read
the contributions of others. Together we are building a Home Page
with a difference.
Mapping
the transition from page to screen
Mapping the Transition from Page to Screen facilitates examination
and analysis of a unique body of material alongside a programme
of experiential research involving a collaboration between Kate
Pullinger, a print-based author keen to investigate the potential
of electronic literature; Sue Thomas, originally a print-based author
but now working in both media, and the trAce team of specialists.
Pullinger's engagement with the project will be a combination of
training and support as she learns how to read and create works
in the digital medium. Her stated research intention is 'to find
out whether online writing has any value'.
frAme6
Net : Spirit
frAme6 is the 6th issue of trAce's Journal of Culture and Technology.
The theme for this issue is Net : Spirit. Includes work by Talan
Memmott, Deena Larsen, Randy Adams, Eryk Salvaggio, Duc Thuan and
Linda Carroli. The call for frAme 7 will be announced later in 2002.
