Twitter: #Danger11
Dangerous Readings is a gathering of artists, computer scientists, and researchers who will come together in Boston this November to explore new frontiers in narrative. It is the second in a series of international web art science camps.
Dangerous Readings will be a popup unconference: the participants will set the agenda. The focus will be project sharing, cooperation, and creation – on crafting new narratives and designing new experiences. We welcome hands-on technical projects, novel digital literature or literary systems, or any other digital art projects or research. We especially want to hear about new work and work in progress. Students are welcome and encouraged.
