Early Elit The first works I did re: Elit per se were done on a TI59 calculator around 1976-7. The first interactive works were done on a Terak mini-computer around 1978-9. The programs were designed to frustrate the writer, modifying the text as he or she continued to write. Sometimes the writing was hijacked completely, sometimes it was reiterated in other ways. I published the work while teaching at University of California, Irvine; the image is from that, as is the pdf. I still find this work of interest because of its odd interference patterning and what this might mean for online/offline writing in general. http://www.alansondheim.org/elit1978.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/1978-79elit.pdf _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
