Dear Sue, dear all,
I am Regina Célia Pinto, from Brazil, Rio de Janeiro.
My institution is the well known Museum of the Essential and Beyond That
(http://arteonline.arq.br )
I am very interested in digital writing. My own work is to make artist's
e.books.
The Library of Marvels is my collection of "artist books" on the web. These
books are electronic narratives that use several kinds of media and
processes: image, sound, words, texts, movement, games, simulation,
programming, and interactivity or the simulation thereof
(http://arteonline.arq.br/library.htm ). In addition to examining the
cultural impact and possibilities created by computers as machines that can
produce books and libraries, the Library of Marvels, in a way, also is part
of the positive quality of globalization because it seeks to disseminate the
writings of important authors from all continents.
Since 2004 I have worked in digital collaborative criticism too:

Best regards from Rio de Janeiro,
