Dene Grigar

 

Dene Grigar is an Associate Professor and Director of The Creative Media & Digital Culture Program at Washington State University Vancouver who works in the area of electronic literature, emergent technology and cognition, and ephemera. She is the author of net art works, like "Fallow Field: A Story in Two Parts" and "The Jungfrau Tapes: A Conversation with Diana Slattery about The Glide Project," both of which have appeared in The Iowa Review Web, and multimedia performances and installations, like When Ghosts Will Die (with Canadian multimedia artist Steve Gibson), a piece that experiments with motion tracking technology to produce networked multimedia narratives. Her most recent project is the "Fort Vancouver Mobile," a project funded by a 2011 NEH Start Up Grant that brings together a core team of 18 scholars, digital storytellers, historians, and archaeologists to create location-aware nonfiction content for mobile phones to be used at the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. She is also Associate Editor of Leonardo Reviews and Vice President of the Electronic Literature Organization.


She has curated six exhibits since 2005.  The 2012 Electronic Literature Media Art Show is the second she has undertaken for the ELO.  Previously, she curated “Electronic Literature,” the exhibit for the MLA 2012 convention and will curate the MLA 2013 and the Library of Congress “Showcase” in March 2013.
