\"\"<\/a>The\u00a0Digital Scholarship Commons<\/a>\u00a0at the University of Victoria Libraries is pleased to host author Tim McLaughlin and Dr. Dene Grigar for a\u00a0Traversal<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0of McLaughin’s hypertext novel,\u00a0Notes Toward Absolute Zero.<\/em>\u00a0Written in 1992\/93, McLaughlin’s work dates from the pre-web era of hypertext, when the creative potential of the medium was still largely unexplored. Dr. Grigar, director and\u00a0professor\u00a0of the Creative Media & Digital Culture Program at\u00a0WSU Vancouver<\/a>, will conduct a Traversal of McLaughlin’s work; a narrated, recorded performance capturing the experience of the work on period 1990s computing technology.<\/p>\n

Stored on decaying media and dependent upon obsolete hardware, digital works from earlier eras present escalating degrees of difficulty to those seeking to experience them in their original, authentic form. Traversal is a\u00a0process\u00a0\u00a0for documenting and preserving digital media so that they may outlast the transient dependencies of their original making.<\/p>\n

Dene Grigar is Professor and Director of The Creative Media & Digital Culture Program at Washington State University Vancouver whose research focuses on the creation, curation, preservation, and criticism of Electronic Literature. With Stuart Moulthrop (U of Wisconsin Milwaukee) she developed the methodology for documenting born digital media, a project that culminated in an open-source, multimedia book, entitled\u00a0Pathfinders<\/em>\u00a0(2015), and book of media art criticism, entitled\u00a0Traversals<\/em>\u00a0(2017), for The MIT Press. She is President of the\u00a0Electronic Literature Organization<\/a>\u00a0and Director of the Electronic Literature Lab at WSUV.<\/p>\n
