about the project

Trope promotes new Australian writing within virtual environments. The first iteration, trope 01.08 is now open for viewing on conVerge island at the following SLURL.

Trope creatively intervenes in the ways that readers engage with literary texts and aims to expand writing networks and to further develop the virtual literary community. Trope features short fiction and poetry in selected exhibitions. Texts are repositioned in a spatialised visual format/s and audio designed for SL users to experience texts in a three dimensional world.
