In this keynote lecture, Roberto Simanowski combines close reading of single works with a media-ontological reading of digital art and digital literature. The folowing works are analysed in detail: Romy Achituv and Camille Utterback’s Text Rain (1999); Bit.Fall (2006) by Julius Popp; Still Standing by Jason Lewis (2005); and Caleb Larsen's The Complete Works of W.S. (2007). The analyses suggest that, while remaining essentially a textual medium, the computer increasingly visualizes communication, thus restoring the pictorial nature of early forms of writing
