We hope you are still buzzing after ELO25!
As an addendum to the juried exhibition, we would like to highlight the work ‘Howl: Elite Force Voyager Online’ by Joseph De Lappe which was unfortunately not presented in its entirety at the venue: www.delappe.net/howl-elite-f... #ELO25
Generating absolutely terrible William Blake rip-offs with Claude Sonnet 4 as an entry point into thinking about histories of text generation
Taking lots of inspiration from #elo25 as I rebuild my Humanities in the Age of AI grad course for this fall. I updated week two to take advantage of Claude's easy artifact sharing and bring students into playing with text and code together: anastasiasalter.net/HumanitiesAI... #dhmakes
here are the slides from my #ELO25 talk yesterday, "Anti-Patterns and Queerness at the End of the World": bit.ly/smh-elo25. check the speaker notes for extra context, and bonus content in the skipped slides at the end :)
Presentation slide with a diagonal gradient background shifting from deep magenta (bottom left) to olive-green (top right). In the upper left corner, bold white text reads “BabyHex”, followed by smaller text: “by David Ciccoricco, Mez Breeze, and Marina Cone.” Centered beneath the heading is a wide rectangular image framed by a thin white border: a cracked, porcelain-like child-doll face with eerie pale-blue eyes and a frilled collar, emerging from a dark, blurred backdrop.
Thrilled to report that "BabyHex" made with David Ciccoricco+Marina Cone has just received an Honourable Mention in the Robert Coover Award for #ElectronicLiterature at #ELO25! Here's the prototype: archive.mezbreezedesign.com/babyhex/hext...

A water color map with a bunch a red pins. One popup displays a flash fiction disaster story: Akron, Ohio Monday, September 6, 2027 "It's hotter than Hades," they say. They're right. Hades is the devil's icebox compared to this. The tracks near Akron buckle, a sun kink it's called, derailing a freight train carrying chlorine and ethanol. The ambient sound of ten thousand HVACs washes over the land.
While at #ELO25 I’m launching a new online project. Here is “No Time to Discourse”—a speculative atlas of future climate disaster. Millions of (non-AI) procedurally generated flash fiction disaster stories. And they all hit a little too close to home these days. notime.now
