Ambient Literature

¡°We want to develop the idea of the augmented book, how can digital content add to the experience of a narrative on page or screen? We¡¯re especially excited about how content made available in particular places, the train, the cafe, the bus station, might add to the reader¡¯s experience,¡± said Jon Dovey, professor of screen media in the Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries, and Education at the University of the West of England. ¡°So, in part this is about what happens when data in our environment aspire to literary form. We¡¯re going to ask how situated literary experiences can be delivered through pervasive media systems.¡± The project draws upon ¡°performance, audio walks and creative writing to commission three new works by contemporary authors that will demonstrate the power of situated literary experience¡±.
