The Poetics of Combinatory Cinema: David Jhave Johnston interviews Roderick Coover and Scott Rettberg
Get PDFFor the past several years filmmaker Roderick Coover and fiction writer Scott Rettberg have collaborated on a series of film and digital media projects that address climate change, environmental catastrophe, cross-cultural communication and combinatory poetics. Working between Philadelphia, USA, where Coover directs the graduate programme in Film and Media Arts at Temple University, and Bergen, Norway, where Rettberg is Professor of Digital Culture at the University of Bergen. Their projects, including The Last Volcano, Rats and Cats, Three Rails Live (with Nick Montfort) and Toxi•City, deal thematically with contemporary and past moments of environmental change and human loss, and formally with interdisciplinary practice and combinatory poetics. Coover and Rettberg were interviewed by digital poet and experimental filmmaker David Jhave Johnston, Assistant Professor in the School of Creative Media at City University of Hong Kong

Storytelling in VR, CAVES and other emerging forms: An interview with Roderick Coover by Katarzyna Boratyn
No full textThe following interview with Roderick Coover asks how emerging cinematic technologies transform documentary storytelling. Though his early ethnographic projects, such as Concealed Narratives (1996, filmed and photographed in Ghana) and the Harvest (1999, filmed and photographed in France), he created interactive documentary forms that could bridge modes of expression. The works combine field-notes, editing observations, exposition, travel narratives, encounters and interviews with evocative imagery. In works such as Voyage Into The Unknown (2007), Canyonlands (2009), and Estuary (2013). Coover uses scrolling map environments to offer interactive, cinematic experiences in which users create paths among video clips and data; the works explore spatial knowledge and storytelling, national myth-making and land use. In works such as Something That Happened Only Once (2007) and The Last Volcano (2011), he layers stories on animated panoramic settings to present disturbing disjunctions in the expression of place and memory. His recent collaborative works Three Rails Live (2013) and Toxicity: A Climate Change Narrative (2016) are algorithmic. They use code to combine voices and images from a database in an ever-changing order; the works use storytelling and new technologies to address the questions of climate change and industrial waste. In Hearts & Minds: The Interrogations Project, a VR work about US military torture in Iraq, he and his collaborators use immersive arts, storytelling and gaming technologies to introduce challenging accounts of human rights abuse
KNPR Interview
No full textAuthor Robert Coover has returned to a topic he first wrote in the mid-1960s. His first novel was The Origin of the Brunists. The sequel, The Brunists\u27 Day of Wrath has just been published. The first book explained how a millenialist cult took hold in a small town that was almost wiped out by a coal mine disaster.

2014 Elias Ghanem Chair
No full textRobert Coover is one of America’s most innovative and enduring postmodernist writers. In 1966, he won the William Faulkner First Novel Award for The Origin of the Brunists; the sequel, The Brunist Day of Wrath, will be published in March, nearly a half century after the original. In Pricksongs & Descants, Coover reimagines fairytales and myths in prose that William Gass, in a review for The New York Times, described as sharply drawn and brightly painted paragraphs ... arranged like pasteboards in ascending or descending scales of alternating colors. His novel The Public Burning, about the executions of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, was a finalist for the National Book Award. An early pioneer of electronic literature, Coover led the first Hypertext Fiction Workshop at Brown University in 1989, a year before the birth of the WorldWideWeb. In addition to his reading, which is free and open to the public, as the 2014 Elias Ghanem Chair in Creative Writing, Robert Coover will work closely with graduate students in the UNLV Creative Writing Program
