The Experimental Wing—Release v. 2.0 Notes:
Text, Hypertext, Intermedia and Interdisciplinary Creative Research

The Experimental Wing is part of the Virtual Writing University, a collaborative, online initiative to bring The University of Iowa's writing programs together online.

The 'Wing,' embraces the creative interdisciplinary potential of digital production and community-based practice. It is dedicated to the exploration of experimental literary and multimedia hypertext research and production. Time-based media [Internet-based radio and television], online publishing of new media creative production and scholarship, and live events are integral parts of 'Wing' research.

The 'Wing' is project based. To the right are brief descriptions and links to its projects.


The Iowa Review Web

The Iowa Review Web, now in its ninth year, features hypertext and new writing. The current issue, "Instruments and Playable Text" is guest-edited by Stuart Moulthrop.


The Daily Palette

The Daily Palette, now in its fifth year, highlights daily the work of Iowa-identified artists and writers on The University of Iowa's web page. In conjunction with 'Wing' research, The Daily Palette is now fully searchable with advanced archiving features. Users may browse over 1300 participating artists' artworks.


ICSC Television Online!

Iowa City Senior Center Television Online!, in its first year of operation, is a community-building collaboration with Iowa City Senior Center Television [ICSC TV]. In addition to streaming ICSC TV programs, the project develops unique online content. Its multiple channels include oral histories, election coverage, video portraits, experimental travelogues, and experimental works.
