Electronic literature is a rapidly growing area of creative
production and scholarly interest. It is inherently multimedial and
multimodal, and thus demands multiple critical methods of
interpretation. Reading Project: A Collaborative Analysis of
William Poundstone's Project for Tachistoscope {Bottomless Pit} is
a collaboration between three scholars combining different
interpretive methods of digital literature and poetics in order to
think through how critical reading is changing-and, indeed, must
change-to keep up with the emergence of digital poetics and
practices. It weaves together radically different methodological
approaches-close reading of onscreen textual and visual aesthetics,
Critical Code Studies, and cultural analytics (big data)-into a
collaborative interpretation of a single work of digital
literature. Project for the Tachistoscope {Bottomless Pit} is a
work of electronic literature that presents a high-speed,
one-word-at-a-time animation synchronized to visual and aural
effects. It tells the tale of a mysterious pit and its impact on
the surrounding community. Programmed in Flash and published
online, its fast-flashing aesthetic of information overload
bombards the reader with images, text, and sound in ways that
challenge the ability to read carefully, closely, and analytically
in traditional ways. The work's multiple layers of poetics and
programming can be most effectively read and analyzed through
collaborative efforts at computational criticism such as is modeled
in this book. The result is a unique and trailblazing book that
presents the authors' collaborative efforts and interpretations as
a case study for performing digital humanities literary criticism
of born-digital poetics.
