WSU Vancouver to house Electronic Literature Organiation
Posted June 30, 2017
WSU Vancouver will be home to the Electronic Literature Organization for the next five years. Referred to as the ELO, this international organization was previously sponsored by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA. The ELO was founded in 1999 to foster and promote the reading, writing, teaching and understanding of literature as it develops and persists in a changing digital environment. The organization includes writers, artists, teachers, scholars and developers. Its members work at the intersection of art, literature and computation. As the only scholarly body dedicated solely to the investigation of literature produced for the digital medium, the ELO maintains a presence on six continents. Many readings, workshops, and other events will be held on campus during the 2017/18 academic year. More information about the ELO can be found at: eliterature.org.
