Event overview
Eleanor Dare - 'Navigating Subjectivity, South: A psychometric text adventure'
The SOUTH software and book represent a practice-based hypothesis that subjectively and environmentally situated software can enliven digital literary works and artists’ books while significantly developing previous notions of ‘the interactive’. The software also presents the case for bespoke works while acknowledging and nurturing collective meanings and shared experiences. Such works challenge linear, humanist conceptions of agency that might characterise the ‘bespoke’ as a solipsistic and individualist construction. 'Psychometric' writing exercises from the book and software will be introduced to the audience.
A sampler of the novel, which you may want to read before the session, is available here:
