ebr >>
ebr is both a serious literary and new media art journal
as well as a research and development platform that investigates
new forms of critical writing as it relates to electronic
writing, interface design and distributed community building.
Pursuing its mission to radically reconfigure the ways
in which graphic design, writing, editing and reading
converge in the web-based interface, ebr offers readers
a "dynamic interface" for the journal, i.e. one that constantly
changes. Built upon a self-organizing database, the interface
visibly transforms, ripples, reconfigures, and shifts
in response to the actions of the site's editors, writers,
and users. The list of contributor's is huge and includes
some of the leading practitioners and theorists in literature
and new media including Gregory Ulmer, Katherine Hayles,
Stephanie Strickland, Charles Bernstein, Michael Berube
and ebr editor Joe Tabbi.

[from the site:]
"Like the webarts here under discussion, ebr approaches the Internet, in
the first instance, as a unique art medium. That is why, although ebr
remains a literary journal, the editors have always
emphasized its visual aspect. We do this not for purposes of illustration
only; nor is it our archival mission to scan images and texts that were
never intended for digital reproduction. Rather, we're interested in how
the hand and the eye of a reader, accustomed to the turning pages of a
book, can be guided through a well-designed web installation by the
collaborative action of word and image."
