Send in now your works of electronic literature to win the Turn on Literature Prize and exhibit at European libraries.<\/p>\n
Is society\u2019s digital turn reflected in the way we read and write literature? Will literature be “turned on” by digital media? How do media change culture? How does culture change and inform the digital field? From Autumn 2017 to Spring 2017, Electronic literature exhibitions at libraries in Denmark, Norway and Romania will address these questions.<\/p>\n
The Project \u201cTurn on Literature\u201d, funded under the EU Program Creative Europe, is calling out for works of Electronic Literature for exhibitions at libraries in Bergen, Norway, Ramnicu Valcea, Romania and Roskilde, Denmark. The exhibitions will last 5 weeks in each location. A total of 100.000 people are expected to visit the exhibitions. For the exhibitions we seek works of electronic literature, understood as \u201cworks with important literary aspects that take advantage of the capabilities and contexts provided by the stand-alone or networked computer.\u201d As a general rule these works are not \u201ce-books\u201d which could be printed and read in a book, but instead multimedia literary artefacts which are only possible to fully experience through digital media.
