The
internet offers great opportunities
for writers. There are fascinating new
forms of writing to be discovered; interesting
people to meet, and swathes of research
material to be mined. But it also brings
concerns. Authors are worried about
copyright and intellectual property.
They are wondering how they can earn
money from working online. They fear
that The Book may be dying.This conference
brings together an international group
of professional authors and educators
with extensive experience of the internet
to address some of these anxieties and
provide informed opinion about the potential
of the net for the artistic community.

Digital
Arts: Breaking The Boundaries Through
Online Authorship
Socrates
framed one of the fundamental objections
to writing; it was "one-way",
it fixed ideas, it required readers
simply to follow someone else's argument
- which is why he would put nothing
in writing. But even Socrates would
change his mind if he could be an online
author. For online writing is two way,
it engages readers to forge their own
meanings, and to become a new generation
of writers in the process.

Reading with Others,
Writing in Time
In
recent years technology has enabled
interactivity in exciting ways. At Lingua
MOO writers can build a virtual space
using only words, and work together
in real time with others around the
world. When texts are interactive, new
modes of teaching and learning quickly
evolve. Lingua MOO is also host to the
online headquarters of the trAce International
Online Writing Community.
