Keystroke is a development programme: part-training, part-tutorial and part -workshop. Keystroke is presented by DA2, the Digital Arts Development Agency in association with trAce Online Writing Community. Keystroke is a chance to explore how a new wave of writers are working online and with other forms of digital media; for writers using this medium, it is an opportunity to exchange information and develop work in a critical context. Keystroke commences with a public seminar (Friday 17 September) and an immersion weekend workshop (Saturday 18 - Sunday 19 September) that brings together writers and digital media trainers, focusing on web based work. Three additional weekend sessions will be held in Bristol (UK) with additional online activity between October 1999 and February 2000. The initial workshop will be led by Sue Thomas of trAce, with tutored sessions led by Bernard Cohen (Australia), Helen Whitehead (UK) and Christy Sheffield Sanford (US). Issues addressed during the workshop and public talk include: - transferring from paper to the web; - copyright issues for writers; - outreach work involving teachers and libraries - using software designed for writers. Subsequent workshops will be held in November, January and February and will each feature seminar presentations by leading new media writers about their practice and continue support the development of work by group members.
