NUI Galway to host first Irish digital cultures conference

NUI Galway will host the first conference of the newly launched Digital Cultures Initiative, the first conference in Ireland to focus primarily on literature that is native to digital platforms and ecosystems, such as electronic literature and born-digital literature.

‘Other Codes – Digital Literatures in Context’ will focus on the various contexts for the production, dissemination and reception of digital literature in its different forms, as well as the cultural, national, geographical and institutional settings within which digital literary practice takes place.

The two-day international conference will feature presentations on topics such as, Twitter poetry, hyper-text fiction, storytelling through computer games, extended cinema and much more.
