The Writing Machine Collective exhibition (WMC_e1) [archived web-page, turn on Flash]

Date : 17.7 - 17.8.2004
Venu: 1a Space

When literature meets the machines…

The computer is not only a tool of creation. It is also a medium of exploration that can generate new and potentially unlimited possibilities. Eleven machines in Writing Machine Collective are going to help you break the boundaries of the established norms of literary creation and interpretation. Non-linear literature transforms every reader into an author able to collaborate with the computer.

“Writing Machine” is not a magic tool in Doraemon’s pocket. It will be concretely shown in front of you from 17th July to 7th Aug in 1a space, Cattle Depot. This is the first Writing Machine collective exhibition in Hong Kong, showcasing the works of new media artists from the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong. Don’t miss this chance to explore the new frontiers of digital literature!

The exhibition is curated by Linda Lai and co-presented by 1a space, with financial support from the HKADC and technical support from the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong.
