‘In Ulysses’.

This time there’s no escape.

“…As a user of “In Ulysses” [By Eoghan Kidney] walks along a virtual Sandymount Strand, the book will be read to them – they will hear Stephen’s thoughts as they are written – but these thoughts will then be illustrated around the user in real-time using textual annotations, images and links. A user can stop walking (therefore stopping Stephen walking) and explore these illustrations, gaining insight into the book and adding to the enjoyment of it.
A fun experience, a next-gen E-Book and an educational tool exploring the meanings hidden within the language of James Joyce’s masterpiece – “In Ulysses” will be a new way of reading Joyce’s work…”

Crikey.

Scrotum-tightening but needing some funding (link below).

Further to our stream of coinsciousness post earlier:

A €10 silver coin being offered for sale to the public in honour of James Joyce by the Central Bank tomorrow contains a misquote from the author.

The line used on the coin from Chapter 3 of Ulysses includes superfluous conjunction – a rogue ‘that’ – spotted this afternoon by RTE

Joyce wrote:

“Ineluctable modality of the visible: at least that if no more, thought through my eyes. Signatures of all things I am here to read.”

 

The Central Bank coin reads:

“Ineluctable modality of the visible: at least that if no more, thought through my eyes. Signatures of all things that I am here to read.”

 

Designed by Cobh, Co Cork, artist Mary Gregoriy, the coin will retail at a commemorative €46.

Relax.

It’s Joyce.

No one’s going to read it.

Etc.

For the day what’s in it.

Leopold’s Map a limited edition print which typographically maps Bloom’s meanderings around the city.

Rachel Kerr writes:

I am a Dublin designer and have just launched a map of Dublin city which is typographically formed from everywhere mentioned in Ulysses. Three years in the making it also has a directory which features over 400 real people and premises that were mentioned in Ulysses and in existence on the day.
