Purple Blurb Digital Reading Series at MIT
Update: There’s now a Purple Blurb Web page which will be kept up to date with information about the seties.
This Fall, a new reading series for digital writing will take place in the salon-like environs of the Trope Tank at MIT. The series is sponsored by the MIT programs in Writing and Humanistic Studies and Comparative Media Studies along with local arts organization Turbulence and the Electronic Literature Organization. It will feature readings and presentations by digital writers of all sorts – poets, fiction writers, writers of nonfiction and criticism, and others engaged in language, narrative, and letters on the computer.
The readings will start at 6pm at MIT in 14N–233 (second floor of building 14, in the wing that is across the courtyard from the Hayden Library).
The first reading is happening soon – next week! We’ve got you a flyer for the series that lists what is coming up, and the inaugural schedule for Purple Blurb is also provided right here:
