Introduction

M any different kinds of works of literature, text works, or text-inclusive performances have been created in computer-mediated collaborative systems, and computer-mediated collaborative writing projects are an integral approach to new media writing. Examples range from a few writers working together with the same authoring system to global telecommunications projects where writers, artists and readers contribute to a work from many nodes around the world.

This Authoring Software resource on Computer-Mediated Collaborative Writing focuses on participatory narrative in which computer-mediation is an integral part of creating the work, such as a work of literature or text that begins with a computer program which accepts input from audience/reader participants and then shapes this input to create the final work. It also includes examples of works of literature of text which are collaboratively created by a group of writers working together on an authoring platform that to a certain extent mediates the work; as well as duets where computer-mediated collaborative interaction between the participants is integral to the work.

Maurice Benayoun, Jean-Pierre Balpe, and Jean-Baptiste Barrière, Labylogue. (2000)
A conversational labyrinth where the walls are lined with phrases composed, in real time with sound and words, in a virtual environment.
Labylogue, a tribute to Jorge Luis Borges' The Library of Babel, was a simulated three-dimensional large-scale visual poetry performance. Created from different French language speaking Internet nodes, it incorporated software-generated text, triggered by algorithmic recognition of words spoken by participants meeting virtually in the labyrinth. Maurice Benayoun explains that in art spaces and museums in three different French speaking cities -- Brussels, Lyon, and Dakar -- Labylogue developed eight main themes that invited visitors to meet in the labyrinth and as they conversed, immerse themselves in the accompanying text on the walls: "Cette exposition développe huit thèmes principaux qui conduisent les visiteurs à se rencontrer dans le labyrinthe et a se perdre dans le texte qui accompagne le dialogue en s'écrivant sur les murs qu'ils regardent. Labylogue existe simultanément dans trois villes francophones différentes: Bruxelles, Lyon, Dakar."
E xamples of early published or gallery-exhibited works in which an artist created and/or utilized program controlled/shaped a narrative that took input from many participants include Sonya Rapoport's Shoe Field, beginning in 1982, in which participants provided data about their shoes, resulting in and printouts of their "shoe-psyche": Fortner Anderson and Henry See's 1989 "itinerant software", The Odyssey, a disk-based work that traveled around the world gathering narrative input.

Networked strategies where writers, artists and in some cases readers/audience contributed to a work from many nodes include Roy Ascott's seminal La Plissure du Texte, a fairy tale told by many writers on early networked telecommunications systems; Maurice Benayoun, Jean-Pierre Balpe, and Jean-Baptiste Barrière's Labylogue; and Adriene Jenik and Charley Ten's OPEN_Borders Lounge, where -- in a collaboration between "local" and "distant" performance spaces -- participants are virtually joined at a local nightspot by artists from different places, including San Diego, Arizona, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, and Argentina. Examples of narrative works created on contemporary social networking situations, such as Twitter, are Dene Grigar's The 24-Hr. Micro-Elit Project and Mark Marino/LAinundacion's The LA Flood Project.
O n the World Wide Web, writers and artists have collaborated with audiences to create extended narratives in works such as Abbe Don's Bubbe's Back Porch; Douglas Davis' World's First Collaborative Sentence; and Flight Paths by Kate Pullinger and Chris Joseph.

Sometimes information intensive works use an offline process for gathering narrative or information from multiple offline participants or sources, although the work itself is displayed in a computer-mediated or hosted situation, for example, Antonio Muntadas' website for The File Room or the website for Life Cycles: Reflections of Change and A New Hope for Future Generations for which Jacalyn Lopez Garcia gathered personal histories of immigrant and migrant farm workers.

There are also works in which email is used to create a collaborative narrative, and then the writers create an authoring systems in which to house their work, such as Judy Malloy and Cathy Marshall's Forward Anywhere. (Eastgate, 1996) And in some cases, an authoring platform is used to bring together the work of many writers, such as William Gillespie, Scott Rettburg, and Dirk Stratton's web-based hypertext The Unknown. (The Electronic Literature Collection vol. 2)

Tim Perkis, Hub System Topology, reprinted from Tim Perkis, The HUB, an article written for Electronic Musician Magazine, 1999.
The Hub -- John Bischoff, Tim Perkis, Chris Brown, Scot Gresham-Lancaster, Mark Trayle, and Phil Stone -- is a computer network band started by Tim Perkis in 1985 in collaboration with composer John Bischoff. In Making Art Online, Perkis explains that "The idea was to find a way for composers working in the computer controlled electronic music medium to play together. Each composer has a computer controlled synthesizer system which is connected to the others on a local area network system of our own design. Composers designing pieces for this band generally only specify the data which is to be shared between players on the net. The result is a sort of enhanced musical improvisation, when the computers and players are all continually making musical decisions based upon what the others are doing."
C omputer controlled antecedents of contemporary computer-mediated collaboration include early works such as Efrem Lipkin, Mark Szpakowski, and Lee Felsenstein's Community Memory, (1972-1974) which although not precisely an artwork was important in the idea of community participation; Steve Wilson's Flashlight Theater at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1984 in which audience members shaped narrative by pointing flashlights at speaker boxes on the stage; collaborative locatory works, for example, Invisible Seattle; collaboratively-created nonfiction works, such as George Landow's The Victorian Web; curated exhibitions of participatory works, such as Artur Matuck's Reflux Project; and interactive works, such as Judy Malloy's You!, that was partially inspired by Christopher Strachey's 1952 love letter generator.

In the 1990's, collaborative narrative works were, among many others, Hypertext Hotel; (Robert Coover, editor) Carolyn Guyer and Martha Petry's Izme Pass; (Writing on the Edge, 1991) Deena Larson's Marble Springs (Eastgate Systems, 1993) PROJECTARTNET, a San Diego-based community arts networking project (hosted on Arts Wire) that brought children from schools in immigrant neighborhoods online to create a community history; Tony Oursler, Constance DeJong, Stephen Vitiello: Fantastic Prayers; (Dia Art Foundation's first project for the web) Anna Couey's Imagining the Information Age; Jesse Gilbert, Helen Thorington, Marek Walczek, Hal Eager, and Martin Wattenberg's Adrift; the TrAce Noon Quilt; and Karen O'Rourke's Paris Réseau, which was created using the combined and collaborative experience of participants who live in Paris and participants who imagine or write about Paris.

Contemporary works of computer-mediated collaborative literature and text include Noah Wardip-Fruin's Screen; (with Josh Carroll, Robert Coover, Shawn Greenlee, Andrew McClain, and Ben "Sascha" Shine) Nick Montfort and Stephanie Strickland's Sea and Spar Between; Judd Morrissey and Lori Talley's My Name Is Captain, Captain; (Eastgate Systems, 2002) Regina Pinto's AlphaAlpha; Kate Pullinger and Chris Joseph's Flight Paths; Sharon Daniel's Narrative Contingencies, The Fort Vancouver Mobile; (project coordinator and managers Brett Oppegaard, Greg Shine, Dene Grigar, Jon Nelson, and Brady Berkenmeier) Shilpa Gupta's Blessed Bandwidth project which "acts as a space for visitors to reflect on religion and its role in a world that is often divided by faith"; (Intermedia Art, Tate) and Ken Goldberg and Gil Gershoni's Are We There Yet?, a 2011 new media installation at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco.

This Authoring Software resource is an in-progress tool, which invites suggestions for additional works and links. The current iteration includes statements created for Authoring Software; links to contemporary and historical works, including those mentioned in this introduction; and a link bibliography of papers on computer-mediated collaborative literature and art.

On the Art of Producing a Phenomenally Short Fiction Collection over the Net using Twitter: The 24-Hr. Micro-Elit Project
Process: interactive and collaborative strategies for the creation of narrative

"The 24-Hr. Micro-Elit Project centers on a collection of 24 stories about life in an American city in the 21st Century and involves 140 characters or less delivered -- that is, "tweeted" -- on Twitter over a 24 hr. period. The launch date of the project was Friday, August 21, 2009 beginning 12 AM PST. Each hour until 11 PM, I posted one story, a method of delivery I chose so that others from other parts of the world who wished to participate could do so at a time convenient for them. These "participants" were encouraged to do more than simply read and respond to my work; they were actually invited to tweet their own stories. During the 24 hours of the project as I posted my stories, I also monitored and collected the participants' stories, adding them to the Project Blog. The project resulted in what can be considered an international anthology of micro-fiction comprised of over 85 stories and submitted by over 25 participants from five countries. In this essay, I address assumptions and viewpoints surrounding the art of producing a phenomenally short fiction collection over the net using Twitter." ...more"

Demotic
Software: YIN MOO, Max/MSP

"All of my mixed-reality performance works use different authoring strategies and tools. In general, however, all share a focus on multi-authoring, on improvisation in various forms, and on a fluid relationship between creation of text and creation of other forms, including software, vocals, sound, video, and movement.

Perhaps the best introduction to my authorial practices is a 2004/2006 mixed-reality performance work entitled "Demotic". The essential idea behind "Demotic" was to have a single stage actor and two sound artists channeling, in real time, many other voices and information sources, some from real space, and some from the Internet. I conceived it with director Robert Allen, and we co-created it with actor Tracey A. Leigh, sound artists Maria de los Angeles Esteves and Jeff Ridenour, and a group of online performers known as the Plaintext Players." ...more
Nick Montfort and Stephanie Strickland
Sea and Spar Between
Software: JavaScipt


Using the poetry of Emily Dickinson and Moby Dick by Herman Melville to analyze congruences of language and style in approximately the same era, Montfort and Strickland's Sea and Spar Between, which was first published on Dear Navigator, is a cyberliterary approach to 19th century American literature, as well as, in its unexpected, yet at times evocative combination of Dickinson and Melville's works, a look at different 19th century approaches to nature and the relationship of humans to nature. Indeed, the authors describe Sea and Spar Between as "a poetry generator which defines a space of language populated by a number of stanzas comparable to the number of fish in the sea, around 225 trillion."

A core addition to the understanding of how language in code can create a greater understanding of the work and at the same time have literary qualities, Sea and Spar Between can also be looked at as a collaboration between two contemporary new media writers and two 19th century writers. ...more

The Last Performance [dot org]
Software: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, Drupal
"The Last Performance is a constraint-based collaborative writing, archiving and text-visualization project responding to the theme of lastness in relation to architectural forms, acts of building, a final performance, and the interruption (that becomes the promise) of community.

...The structure of the project is taken from my research with Goat Island into double buildings, a phrase we are using to describe spaces that have housed and survived multiple historical identities, with a specific concern for the functions of churches, mosques, and museums. The central structure of The Last Performance is a virtual dome, based on the cupola of a particular Croatian double building, a construction of circles within circles consisting of 4,680 glass lenses. The lenses of the cupola have been transposed as compositional spaces that will be populated until the dome is complete. The dome writings are also processed as source material to create a constantly evolving textual landscape. This project was conceived in response to the work of the Chicago-based performance collective, Goat Island, (of which I am a part) and their decision, after 20 years of practice, to create a last performance. The electronic work is evolving over two years in parallel with the creation and performance of the company's final performance work, The Lastmaker." ...more

Process: interactive and collaborative strategies for the creation of narrative

Karen O'Rourke, whose work includes telecommunications projects, information art, and artists software, has created a coherent, innovative body of work in experimental new media narrative. Exploring mapping and the experience of place using collaborative strategies, her projects include City Portraits which involved participants in 11 world cities creating "portraits" of their towns through the exchange of images and Paris Réseau, which explores the City of Paris with texts, images and sounds. City Portraits was documented in the book Art-Réseaux. (Karen O'Rourke, editor Paris, éditions du CERAP, 1992) along with other collaborative projects led by members of the group Art-Réseaux, while Paris Réseau took several forms. First an installation/performance in 1994, it was later realized as a website and a screen-based installation, then as a CD-Rom Paris Réseau/Network (2000) with an interface that provides multiple entrances to the work, allowing a parallel and layered exploration of the city.

In her statement for Authoring Software, she continues her vision of urban space and collaborative text works with a description of a project created for the UK and Barcelona-based Dispatx Art Collective. ...more
Regina Pinto
AlphaAlpha
Software: Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0, Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0,
Dreamweaver 8.0, Flash 8.0, Photoshop 7.0 and Sound Forge 9.0

Regina Pinto believes that one of the good characteristics of globalization is that it allows the exchange of national and international artistic experiences. Much of her work uses humor, unusual juxtapositions and interesting ideas to look at global trends, for instance, The Snowmen Congress in Rio in which conceptions of snowmen were solicited from all over the world and exhibited on the Internet, presented in lectures and performances on a stage on Ipanema Beach -- with an emphasis on Global warming and its impact on the fate of snowmen.

The AlphaAlpha project is a classic collaborative work in that participants were invited to create within the context of an interesting idea, and the producer incorporated their work in a framework that in this case includes texts and visual implementations of the letter "A". The project both alludes to the vibrant South American tradition of visual poetry and calls attention to how text can be represented on the World Wide Web. Participants were from all over the world including Brazil, USA, Canada, Chile, France, UK, Argentina, Finland, Croatia, Serbia, Germany, Uruguay, Spain, and Mexico. ...more

Flight Paths by Kate Pullinger and Chris Joseph
Software: CommentPress, Netvibes

Written in 2008, the statement about Kate Pullinger and Chris Joseph's Flight Paths looks at issues of authoring software choices in the creation of this work and in particular at the difficulties of of creating a multimedia open access work.

The Qi Project
Software: Flash, Final Cut, Perl, CGI
"The Qi Project is an inquiry into the nature of humanity and what it means to be human at this moment in time. Qi is a Chinese word which literally means 'air' or 'breath.' It is considered to be the circulating life force. The Qi Project exists as (1) a gallery installation (2) a website (3) a process-based intervention. The gallery installation includes: two channel video, text and audience participation. The website: represents the interventions; includes elements in exhibition; and invites participation. The intervention is the process and residue of questioning: What does it mean to be human? What is humanity? This was done via postcards, email, telephone, website, and in front of a camcorder. The Project was launched at The Krause Center for Innovation Art Gallery in Los Altos Hills, California in February 2008. Continuing is the companion website." ...more
