“[t]he cell, the smallest autopoietic structure known today . . . the minimal unit that is capable of incessant self-organizing metabolism.” (Humberto Maturana)
The Consortium on Electronic Literature (CELL) is an international organization led and managed by the ELO that currently includes 11 member organizations, research labs, and research centers. Since 2010, our collaborative network has been developing the information architecture needed for making born digital creative works and scholarly criticism findable across databases, world-wide.
Davin Heckman, Managing Director
Joseph Tabbi, Founding Director
The ELO recognizes the contribution of Anna Gibbs and Maria Angel for convening the initial CELL participants at a founding meeting in 2010, supported by a grant entitled “Creative Nation,” from the International Science Linkages Program of the Australian Academy of the Humanities, Sydney, Australia. We also recognize NT2 for developing the CELL Search Tool.
