Found via a friend: the Electronic Literature Collection is a treasure trove of stories, statements, and pieces of art that use their electronic medium to confuse, provoke and entangle the audience.
I’ve barely scratched the surface - between volumes one and two there are over a hundred pieces. Part of the fun is mousing through each volume’s interface and picking pieces at random, but here are a few of my favorite’s I’ve found:
The Possession of Christian Shaw: a creepy yet enchanting non-text narrative
In the White Darkness: a beautiful and fragmented installation about memory
Public Secrets: words and voices from the Central California Women’s Facility
If you find a piece that you like, please share it in the comments!
