Edit: Translating Information Networks
is a roving events series pairing innovative performances with focused critical responses toward an exploration of editorial strategies in contemporary writing and the arts. From reframing techniques in conceptual writing to live processing in new media performance, editorial issues of mediated composition seem increasingly pressing. In a capacious sense, this old word edit—and associated fields of editorial theory and textual conditions—can refresh, historicize, and enrich practices characterized by problematic new media terms like remix, mash-up, flash art, and so on. An extended editorial exploration will relate these diverse occasions, with each event expanded online and occasionally drawn together in print or other media.
