Introduction

Hello my name is suchana I have no pets unless you count egg-laying chickens. or my brother. I've lived in the Dover area for about a decade, and this will be my third year at UNH. I initially thought I would switch majors at some point, but I guess I never hit a point where I disliked English. I love making stuff - woodworking, ceramics, painting, drawing, videos, collages etc. Making is a process I really enjoy and I love doing it digitally. I would say I am most excited about the new programs we will use and how I can apply those skills in my future career. I think this class will be fun!  When I'm not in class, you will find me binge-watching television in my room, and if the weather permits it, outside with my friends. I also like podcasts, fat cats, aquariums, lime-flavored sodas, and pocket knives.

Sharing Digital Texts - Cameron Whitney

  Post Secret Ted Talk Post Secret Website Post Secret reminds me a little bit of the Yellow Arrow Project. It involves anonymity and sharing words with others. Thinking about this website and project warms my heart and simultaneously makes me feel like I could cry. It started with Frank Warren, a man who printed out 3,000 pre-addressed postcards in 2004 and randomly handed them out on the streets of Washington, D.C. He included instructions on one side and the other was blank. The instructions told the people who received the cards to “anonymously share an artful secret they’d never told anyone before.” Some people send in deep secrets and others send in funny ones. It is a beautiful form of digital literature as he posts them on the website so people can view new ones every Sunday. I’ve always wanted to send one in and I know that eventually, I will.

Combinatory Poetics

 Chapter two discusses the emergence of combinatory poetics, a form of digital literature that emerged in opposition to the ideology of nationalism and rationality that many believed led to the horrors of WW1. One group of artists, the Dadaists, used randomness and hyper individuality in their art. They rejected structure and embraced stream of consciousness. One way to do this was through cutting up a newspaper and combining words to create "permutation poems." With the creation of computers, this process could be expanded upon through algorithm and code. Alan Turing took this one step further with his imitation game. The goal of this experiment was to see if computers could manipulate humans through language. The game consisted of an interrogator, a man, and a woman, but Turing would replace either the man or the woman with a computer. He wanted to see if the computer could fool the interrogator through its encoded language. He theorized that eventually, the technology woul...
