His primary interest is the computer as a new medium for verbal and visual communication.

CV
Jay David Bolter is Co-Director of the New Media Center and Wesley Professor of New Media in the School of Literature, Communications, and Culture at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His work with computers led in 1984 to the publication of Turing's Man: Western Culture in the Computer Age, a book that was widely reviewed and translated into several foreign languages. Bolter's second book, Writing Space: The Computer, Hypertext, and the History of Writing, published in 1991, examines the computer as a new medium for symbolic communication. Together with Michael Joyce, Bolter is the author of Storyspace, a program for creating hypertexts for individual use and World Wide Web publication. In his new book, entitled Remediation, written in collaboration with Richard Grusin, Bolter explores the ways in which new digital media, such as the World Wide Web and virtual reality, borrow from and seek to rival such earlier media as television, film, photography, and print.

Current research
Annotation: As the Web makes streaming audio and video more widely available, students, teachers and other professionals are going to need hypertextual tools for annotating, organizing, editing, and presenting these media streams.
Remediation: the ways in which new digital media refashion or "remediate" older visual and verbal forms - for example, how the World Wide Web refashions graphic design, printing, radio, film, and television.
Graduate teaching includes courses in the rhetoric of electronic environments, virtual reality, and the Internet as a medium for hypertextual design.
In the Fall, 1999, I am teaching LCC 6111. In Spring, 2000, I will be teaching LCC 8803A (Designing Virtual Environments), which is cross-listed for Computer Science, and LCC 3404 (Designing for the Internet)
