RM - Week 7 "Bring it to the Table"

I enjoyed chapter 6 of Scott Rettberg's Electronic Literature titled "Network Writing"!  I have never explored this topic before, so it was super fascinating to learn about. Rettberg talks about how network literature is different than print literature, and mentions it's various differing assets such as collaboration and interactivity. There is more mention of hypertext literature and social media literature, and he even touches upon automated systems such as bots and AI generated content. The generated content stuff was interesting to me, because I found it hard to see it as pure "literature" in the beginning, but after making some taroko gorge earlier this semester I understand it a bit better now. Similar thoughts with the AI stuff. 

I have looked at the Unknown before and I really really enjoy it! There really is so much to look at, I especially loved the watercolor diaries in the art section. I tend to really like rettberg's hypertext work, i liked that other one he did too but i can't remember the name. It was also with other people. I think this is a great example of collaboration, as is the other one i am blanking on. Occupy MLA was definitely confusing in the format it is currently in, but I could see hoe it could be effective on twitter. 

I looked at Lexia to Perplexia! It is a work of hypertext that explores the "relationship between human consciousness and network phenomenology." It was not working as well as I wanted it to, but from what i gathered there are many references to code/hypertext/links vocabulary wise and also images of human eyes, with an occasional math problem. I did not quite get the message without reading what it was about, but it was still cool.
