Our PI, Dr Alice Bell, was interview by James O’Sullivan for his Cultural Mechanics podcast series.

Alice talks about what brought her to the field of digital fiction, her favourite works, and the Reading Digital Fiction reader response research.

We are really excited to be presenting the results of our reader response research on immersion in WALLPAPER at three international conferences this summer:

• Electronic Literature Organization conference 2016 at the University of Victoria, Canada
• Mind – Media – Narrative conference at the University of Warsaw, Poland
• Poetics and Linguistics Association (PALA) conference 2016 at University of Cagliari, Sardinia.

We will analyse the ways in which WALLPAPER‘s multimodal set-up may help us develop a media-specific theory of cognitive deixis. We will also be sharing the results of our reader-response research for the first time and, in particular, showing how we might study participant responses to learn more about the complex, hybrid and dynamic nature of immersion in digital fiction.
