JOHN CAYLEY

My research and practice explore the extraordinary potential for writing digital media: writing in digital media, and writing[transitive] digital media. Most recently my work engages ambient poetics in programmable media, and writing in and for immersive 3D virtual reality systems, with parallel theoretical research concerning the role of code in writing, and the (intrinsic) temporal properties of textuality.
