« So, just to say a little bit about before the workshop begins, I always try to introduce digital literary practices as sites of experimentation and places where there's for reflexive knowledge production. I based on my background in the history and philosophy of technology and digital cultures. I'm always stressed the students that computers were not originally conceived of as technologies for multimedia communication or for story telling or for generating language. So that kind of emerged half hazardly over the course of their evolution and I try to underscore this long history of artists and programmers whove experimented with these technologies and explored their potential, their crative and expressive, and knowledge building potential. »	author self citation
« We try to inspire students with this history of narrative methods and generative narrative methods that were pre-digital. Things like sonets, some of the Ulipo experiments. We have a picture [on the slide] of an early plot robot. An other example of just ways that people used different templates or models to create stories or try to automate the creation of stories before computers. Also history of mutimedia, narratives and stories from AI is a source and contexte. Also, I have started, and I'm hoping this year to do more with. This is what I've started teachins, a long history of story generators, pre-digital, then also digital ones that have led up to large language model of AI, so my contemporary students understand that every story generator has a model of language of storytelling that it realizes. You know, Plato assumes that a story is a plot and so, by looking at these different attemps to model storytelling, we can look at some of the ideological assumptions about what's important in a story, and we can also critique those and try to come up with better models of story as a result. And I think that Samuel'S ecosystem is another good example of trying to encourage our students to think about the different ways that you can generate stories and come finding some of these different methods as, maybe, a future goal, rather than the large language model AI and the predictive AI technology. »	author self citation
