The second of our feature pieces of On-line Writing has been launched. Mary Anne Breeze, or Mez, as she is known on e-mail discussion lists and sites of fine electronic literature all over the web, has composed a piece which invites interaction and which plays with the traditional structures of language. It intervenes in words, in syllables, morphing and changing words by spatial arrangement, challenging the way we read, but at all times engaging us with the thematic concerns of her alphabetic acrobatics. >di][e][lation manifesto-:-a sliver of the future f][br][eeder< http://www.gu.edu.au/school/art/text/speciss/issue2/breeze.htm Heather McHugh, at the ceremony for the announcement of the Electronic Literature Organization's Literary Awards said each entry offered a "taxonomic wonderment" in a field that "had no centre, and the circumference is nowhere". Larry McCaffery said the new literature on the web was characterized by having "aspects of narration, rather than narrative". --------------------------------------------------------------------------- hothouse: media arts discussion and action at the threshold of technology and the 21st Century MANIFESTO 2nd - 12th November 1999 Experimenta Media Arts www.experimenta.org
