The Treatments of Text in Christophe Bruno’s “Iterature”
“…Christophe Bruno … has made a collection of works with the heading and address Iterature.com. It is a collection of literary experiments with the networked text of the WWW through various Google hacks, that is, Google ‘front ends’ that turn a Google search into a literary engagement with the text of the web. Bruno’s thesis is that through the web, and especially through our ability to search and monitor it thoroughly by means of Google, we are heading towards a global text that among other things enables a new form of textual, semantic capitalism, which he explores in his work. In the following, I will introduce some of his most important works on the Iterature website in order to discuss the transformation of texts, reading, writing, and capitalism currently being generated by Google and similar services as well as by general developments on the web commonly discussed under headings such as web2.0…” From Literature from Page to Interface: The Treatments of Text in Christophe Bruno’s Iterature by Søren Pold, Electronic Book Review.
