Subject: CFP: Electronic Literature Organization (ELO) Conference and Media Festival
2024 – Virtual – Call for Proposals – #ELOnline
We invite submissions for presentations, performances, and exhibition pieces at
the annual Electronic Literature Organization Conference and Media Arts Festival
(ELO), to be hosted fully online July 18-21, 2024 by a team based at the
University of Central Florida with collaborators around the world.
ELOnline 2024’s theme is (Un)linked. We particularly encourage submissions that
center on the web as a contested platform of community and computational
creativity, with attention to both dystopian shifts (such as the slow demise of
the platform formerly known as Twitter) and hopeful futures. As part of this
theme, we invite submissions across all formats considering the 15th-ish
anniversary of Twine and more broadly exploring the trajectories of hypertext
and the web as a site of electronic literature making, community, and futures.
Topics of particular interest include:
* Utopian and Dystopian Imaginaries
* Platform Deaths and Migrations
* Sustainable Electronic Literature
* Queer, Feminist, and Anti-Racist Pedagogies and Practices
* Computational Creativity and Generative AI
* Twine and Hypertext Fictions
* Critical Making and E-Lit in Digital Humanities
* Literary Games and Interactive Fiction Futures
* Mixed, Alternate, Augmented, and Virtual Realities
Submissions are welcome in the following categories:
* Panels. Panels or roundtables of 3 to 6 participants are welcome. We
encourage groups proposing panels to prioritize engaging formats, rather than
simply organizing a series of long talks. Panels will be scheduled live on Zoom
in 75 minute blocks. For panel submissions, please provide a 350 - 500-word
abstract of the session, anonymized for peer review.
* Individual Talks. Individual talks (10 to 12 minutes) will be organized
into sessions based on common themes. For an individual talk, please provide a
250-300 word individual abstract, anonymized for peer review.
* Workshops. Workshops focused on specific skills, technologies, platforms,
and techniques of interest to practitioners and/or scholars of electronic
literature are welcome. For a workshop, please provide a 250-300 word individual
abstract, anonymized for peer review, and any details about needs or timeslot
requirements.
* Performances. Due to the online-only format of the conference, all
performances should be suitable for Zoom, and participants are particularly
encouraged to make use of the distant modality and interface as part of their
performance. For performance submissions, please provide a 350 - 500-word artist
statement detailing the aesthetic intentions and structure of the piece.
Statements should be anonymized for peer review. Performers should keep in mind
the constraints of a 10 to 15-minute time slot.
* Online Exhibition. Due to the online-only format of the conference, all
exhibition pieces must be designed for web deployment using web standard
technologies and hosted on UCF’s server space. We particularly encourage work
engaging thoughtfully with the constraints and affordances of the web, and
pointing towards the past, present, and imagined futures of hypertext
literature. For exhibition submissions, please provide a 350 - 500-word artist
statement detailing the aesthetic intentions and structure of the piece. If
available, please provide a URL of the work or a demonstration of the concept
in-progress.
* Experimental Track. The experimental track invites participants to propose
alternative platforms and modalities for sessions, ranging from text chat to in-
game meetings. Hosts of experimental track sessions are responsible for access
and moderation to their proposed platform for the duration of their sessions,
and are asked to consider the environmental impact and accessibility of their
approach as a means for exploring future conference modalities and
opportunities. For experimental track proposals, please provide a 350 - 500-word
abstract of the session, anonymized for peer review.
Our submission portal at https://stars.library.ucf.edu/elo2024/ are open January
1st, 2024 through February 15th, 2024. Notice of acceptances will be distributed
by March 15h.
All participants will be invited to submit a longer proceedings paper for
publication in the UCF STARS repository (indexed via Google Scholar); however,
this type of submission is not required. All conference sessions will be
recorded and made available open access in the UCF STARS Repository.
Participants are restricted to two presenting or first-author roles on the
program to allow for a wide range of voices: while more submissions are allowed,
that is not encouraged.
Cost and Impact
This fully online iteration of ELO is developed in response to concerns raised
both within the community and more broadly regarding the environmental impact,
accessibility, and affordability of academic conferences. Our approach is
intended to reflect an intentional, impact-conscious, approach using established
platforms (Zoom, Discord, and the STARS Repository) and minimizing cost both to
the organizers and participants.
Membership is not required to submit to the conference. However, all conference
participants will be required to join the ELO, with membership fees payable
directly to the organization. There is no additional conference registration fee
beyond dues: however, those able to do so are encouraged to donate to ELO in
lieu of registration.
Questions?
Please direct all queries to the conference co-chairs: Anastasia Salter
(anastasia@ucf.edu<mailto:anastasia@ucf.edu>) and John Murray
(jtm@ucf.edu<mailto:jtm@ucf.edu>) or exhibition and performance questions to
