MICHAEL JOYCE
Michael Joyce (born 1945) is
a professor of English at Vassar College, NY, USA. He is also an important
author and critic of electronic literature.
Joyce's afternoon: a story,
1987, was among the first literary hypertexts to present itself as undeniably
serious literature, and experimented with the short-story form in novel ways.
It was created with the then-new storyspace software, deployed the ambiguity
and dubious narrator characteristic of high modernism, along with some suspense
and romance elements, in a story whose meaning could change dramatically
depending on the path taken through its lexias on each reading. (For instance,
a hard-to-find series of lexis presented a new set of facts about the
narrator's actions which dramatically affected the reader's judgment of him.)
His Twilight, a symphony: a hyperfiction (1996) was a second hypertext story.
Joyce's books include War
outside Ireland: a novel (1982), of two minds: hypertext pedagogy and poetics
(1995), other mindedness: the emergence of network culture (2000), and Moral
tales and meditations: technological parables and refractions (2001). He is a graduate of the Iowa Writers Workshop.
Joyce has collaborated for the last six years with Los
Angeles-based visual artist Alexandra Grant. The work Grant has made based on
his texts ("The Ladder Quartet" and the "Six Portals") has
been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) and Honor
Fraser Gallery (Los Angeles).
