Paris talks

I will be doing a couple of talks in Paris, participating in the E-Poetry
conference.

***************
FIRST SCREENING
***************

On Tuesday May 22 at 9 am, at University Paris8 - amphi X, I'll talk about
http://vispo.com/bp , which is a collaborative project recently completed
with Geof Huth, Marco Niemi, Dan Waber, and Lionel Kearns: we recovered some
programmed, kinetic poems from 1984 called First Screening by the Canadian
experimental poet bpNichol and present that work, along with writings about
First Screening.

It seems often to be assumed that digital art is necessarily short-lived.
Part of the motivation–at least for me–was to see if we could do an
interesting job of recovering this work done on an Apple IIe in Apple Basic,
and present it in a multi-formed way on the net. And write about it from
various relevant perspectives.

This project is a look back at some of the work of quite a forward-looking
poet. But this project is also something of a how-to concerning how to
recover and present old digital poetry and possibly other types of digital
art.
