"Kathi Inman Berens, Assistant Professor of Digital Humanities and Publishing at Portland State University's English department, works on interfaces and performance in electronic literature."
"Kathi Inman Berens takes Nick Montfort's Taroko Gorge and reimagines it through the lens of the kitchen: as she Notes in her opening comment, 'it delights me to mash the procedural with the domestic, female, and tactile.' The background image, a motion-blurred capture of the author cooking, combined with the bright pink background color, reinforces this centering of the domestic and the encoded 'female.' The text itself pulls on both spheres with results that take the language of coding (operators, scripts, network, inheritance) and intersect it with the art of cooking (chop, stoves, menus, recipes, savor.) From this unexpected intersection a meaningful dialogue is created with provocative potential, à la 'Julia Child minces the JavaScript.' -- from Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 3
