ELO 2025

 

Mañana, día 10, comienza la conferencia de la ELO, Electronic Literature Organization, del año 2025. En esta edición, se conmemoran sus 25 años  y el evento se celebrará del 11 al 13 de julio.

Se trata de una conferencia internacional presencial y un festival de artes mediáticas bajo el lema “ELO25 @ 25: Cartas de amor al pasado y al futuro”. Colaboran la University of Waterloo y la York University. 

Aunque el núcleo central comienza el viernes, el 10 de julio se realizarán talleres opcionales en Kitchener-Waterloo (Canadá), en la sede de la University of Waterloo. 

A partir del día 11 y hasta el 13, las actividades principales se trasladarán a Toronto, en el campus de la York University. Además, ELO ha establecido un acuerdo con el Vector Media Arts Festival, permitiendo el intercambio de públicos y la realización de eventos en conjunto.
