▶ WIKIPEDIA: The word literature, from Latin litteratura derived from littera (the letter) […]: set of written or oral works with an aesthetic dimension. ◀ ︎

How do the mechanisms of digital applications and the Web shape how we perceive and construct writing? How to approach the idea of ​​literature in a web context and new technologies? What are the languages ​​of the Internet?
Somewhere at the limits of the personal, the commercial, the instantaneous archiving and the digital, the words are filtered out and the forms, transformed.
With the works of Maude Veilleux, Fabrice Masson-Goulet and Stéfanie Requin Tremblay.
