Rebooting Electronic Literature: Documenting Pre-Web Born Digital Media

Social Media Content for David Kolb's "Socrates in the Labyrinth"

Facebook
We posted to three main sites on Facebook: 1) the site Grigar set up in 2013 for the Pathfinders project, entitled "elitpathfinders,"  with 245 followers, 2) the Electronic Literature Organization's page with over 1600 members, and 3) Grigar's own site. ELL Team members with a Facebook page also posted to their own sites. 

This post, the first we put on Facebook, introduced the event to the general public the day of the event.



Just before we started, we posted a reminder to those on the elit-pathfinders site to join us at the event.



The next few posts contain information about the work for the audience who do not have prior knowledge of Socrates in the Labyrinth. 







We announced the Q & A to the audience so that those following us on Facebook could post questions to the performer and moderator.




We also announced that we created a Storify site for the Facebook and Twitter posts. 


One final photo we posted capturing the event and a thank you to David Kolb.


Twitter 
We tweeted on three Twitter sites: 1) Dene Grigar's own site that had over 2,800 followers, 2) Nicholas Schiller's site, with 2,200 followers and 3) ELL Team Member Veronica Whitney's site, with over 175 members. Whitney was in charge of posting and reposting on Twitter during the event. The hashtag we used was #elitpathfinders, the same hashtag developed for the original Pathfinders project.

The first posts announce the event ahead of time using the hashtag #elitpathfinders.



Grigar posts a photo of Kolb rehearsing for the Traversal the day of the event.






These next few posts contain information about the work for the audience who do not have prior knowledge of Socrates in the Labyrinth. 










These next four posts are from students in the audience.






This post is from Nicholas Schiller who provides a link to access more detail on Kolb's work.
