electronic writer

hugovk commented on the word electronic writer

electronic writer, n.

The problem is that the artist/writers who can be said to
be “electronic writers” are coming at it from different angles.
Some have emerged from what is often called the “art world,” even
though the most salient example of this, the artist group Young-Hae
Chang Heavy Industries, turned to Flash (their preferred programming environment) and the internet merely as a way to get their writing out. YHCHI first started posting their works to the web in the early ’00s, when the 56k modem was the norm, and the speediness with which their lightly animated texts zinged over the web — in contrast to the often image-heavy work of other net artists — along with the humor of their work (“Cunnilingus in North Korea” is the title of one of their more notorious pieces), the caffeinated jazz soundtracks they used, and the general good writing of their work soon brought them gallery and museum commissions.
