      The Laboratory for Electronic Literature (LabEL) was founded in 2022 to investigate and archive
      electronic literature. The project is born out of a long-term partnership between
      <a href="https://www.kbr.be/">KBR</a> and the
      <a href="https://uclouvain.be/fr/instituts-recherche/ilc/cental">Center for Natural Language Processing (CENTAL) at UCLouvain.</a>

    <h2>What is electronic literature?</h2>

    <p>A work of interactive fiction powered by Artificial Intelligence. A twitter account publishing random extracts from
      Moby Dick. A poem designed to erase itself after being read once. All of these works are part of the world of
      electronic literature.</p>
    
    
    <p>Electronic literature includes all <em>digital-born literary works in which the meaning and/or the aesthetics are
        closely linked to the affordances of digital media</em>. These works are multi-disciplinary and often
      disconcerting because they question our understanding of the concepts of ‘writing’ and ‘reading’.</p>
