Coded: Wordplay of New Technologies and Media
Event 221		print Print This Page
Coded is a discussion of new-media writing and the practice of these forms both in and out of youth culture, including texting, blogging, the mobile web and locative media. These media are giving rise to new forms of literature where the traditions of poetry, narrative and reading are being slowly transformed. Much of this change is being driven by a generation for whom these enabling technologies are second nature and who participate in the creation of new texts as often as they participate in the consumption of them.
