Abstract
This virtual writing workshop invites you to compose texts together in Google Docs based on prompts inspired by surrealist games. The idea behind this session is that synchronous writing and editing can inspire new forms of collaborative creative expression.
In the spirit of the conference’s theme, (un)continuity, I will collect the texts we write together in the session and arrange them using a randomized algorithm to create a collaborative work of electronic literature. We will share the result with other conference attendees via social media.
Because of Google Docs’ limitations, a maximum number of ten people can participate in this workshop.
