Join me for the first episode of Season 3 where we delve into the world of MR Literature accompanied by Dr Agnieszka Przybyszewska. Agnieszka is assistant professor at University of Łódź (Poland) where she co-created a programme of creative writing studies. She teaches i.a. on visual and electronic literature and supervises students’ artistic projects of non-classic forms of literature (e.g. book-bound and electronic playable interactive books, concrete poetry installations in public space, locative narratives for mobile phones or AR literary stories). She is also a visiting fellow at the Center for Cultural and Creative Industries at Bath Spa University, resident of The Studio in Bath (UK) and research affiliate at Electronic Literature Lab at Washington State University Vancouver (USA).

Agnieszka has a double degree in literature and film & media studies and her research since years has been dedicated to electronic literature and textual materialism or - in other words - to the evolution of our understanding of literature, book and act of reading. Agnieszka has been researching on AR books, VR as context for electronic literature and on embodiment of the act of reading within some small Polish research grants for more than 10 years now (you can read her first English text on AR literature here). In 2021 she became a research fellow in Amplified Publishing pathfinder within Bath+Bristol Creative R+D, where her role was to research VR as a literary platform (you can check some blog entries from this project here and here).
