Ulmer's theoretical exposition of a transition from literacy to "electracy," to use one of his many neologisms, enables us to glimpse and understand technological convergence as a scene of writing.For Ulmer, electracy is not the end of the literate paradigm, but rather an extension and re-definition of it.His theoretically informed coinages have given us a lexicon of convergence for the possibilities of add a further stratum of disciplinary writing to the authors' inscriptions, extending as well as enframing them in Illogic of Sense.And perhaps, in the context of this place, this scene of writing, they too are best considered as fragments, chips off the old block.£3.99 price tag).On a return visit to London in 2000 I made a pilgrimage to the British Museum in the hope that this stellar object would still be available, no doubt made more precious by the passing year.To my absolute delight I found it in a basket of remaindered items.Linda Marie Walker's Surface to Surface, Ashes to Ashes (Reporting to U) is an involved meditation on the concept of the interface and its relation to place.For Walker the interface is a way of conjoining place, or chora, and subjectivity.She is interested in the strangeness of the everyday, of that with which we are surrounded.Implicitly, she is fascinated by how this is perceived by another person within interfaced situations.This other person, this unidentified U, is at times anonymous, unknowable, an ambiguous presence on shifting ground, which is there, always not here.At times it is unmistakably Ulmer, who is also you, intimate yet distant, in acts of exchange.Writing for Walker is the fragile yet capable medium of this exchange, the provisional sign of the desire to supplement presence, to enable U to see what she sees, and vice versa.Craig Saper, in The Two Ulmers in e-Media Studies: Vehicle and Driver, ingeniously interprets Ulmer as an object of study, as both a vehicle and driver of signification.Ultimately Saper's goal is to offer a critical approach to understanding Ulmer's work, particularly in relation to its historical devel
