Kenneth J. Knoespe and Jichen Zhu Georgia Institute of Technology Introduction The legacy of Cartesian dualism inherent in linguistic theory deeply influences current views on the relation between natural language, computer code, and the physical world.

FCJ-073 Technology transfer present and futures in the electronic arts
Brian Degger, transitlab.org Newcastle upon Tyne, UK Introduction The intersection of art and technology is not new, yet the context and history of this interchange have largely been ignored, though it extends back hundreds, even thousands of years.

FCJ-072 Experience and abstraction: the arts and the logic of machines
Simon Penny University of California Irvine Introduction Much of my writing has grappled with issues which I find fundamental to the formation of art-practices which exploit the capabilities of emerging technologies (often but not always, involving real time digital computation) (Penny, 1995; 1997).[1] These theoretical inquiries arise out of pragmatic attempts to apply these technologies […]
FCJ-071 Dada Redux: Elements of Dadaist Practice in Contemporary Electronic Literature
Scott Rettberg The University of Bergen Introduction Too often the discourse surrounding contemporary digital art and electronic literature treats these artifacts as if the most compelling aspects about them are their novelty, their very newness.

Mitchell Whitelaw, University of Canberra Canberra, Australia Introduction In digital, networked culture, we spend our lives engaged with data systems.
