The Rob Wittig Collection

Rob Wittig is co-founder (1983) of IN.S.OMNIA, a literary electronic bulletin board system that pioneered the creative possibilities of the electrosphere and has been termed "legendary" by cyber-chronicler Howard Rheingold. Rob's book, Invisible Rendezvous, Connection and Collaboration in the New Landscape of Electronic Writing, based on Fulbright work with Jacques Derrida, is an analysis of this early period of electronic literature. Wittig coordinated several collaborations with members of the legendary French experimental literary group Ou.Li.Po. for IN.S.OMNIA

Several of his early web literature projects, including "Fall of the Site of Marsha," the chatroom novel "Friday's Big Meeting," and the hand-illustrated e-mail novel "Blue Company," are currently available in his collection. His many NetProv works, also donated to The NEXT, will be available in the coming year. 

Wittig began sending his files to Grigar in April 2022. The process was ongoing until January 2024.
