More TechnoPoetry Festival Information:
From a message from Kavita Philip: "TechnoPoetry Festival 2002 showcases
the work of leading artist/poets who use digital techniques. They compose
with new linguistic media, including holograms, bio-states, network flows,
game structures, interactive multimedia Web installations, and experimental
video projects. These forms are often combined with older poetic forms:
speech, image, song, alphabetic text, and Chinese characters. Many of the
works explore the meaning of the relationships between body, biology, and
technology.
"This event brings internationally recognized artists from Europe and New
York to the campus, and it also features the work of Georgia Tech media
artists and theorists, Diane Gromala, Sha Xin Wei, and Eugene Thacker.
"TechnoPoetry Festival 2002 is produced by poet Stephanie Strickland, and
takes place April 1 and 2 from 4:00 to 10:00 PM in the Wesley Center for New
Media. Interactive exhibits and reception 4:00 to 7:00 PM, artist
presentations and discussion from 7:00 to 10:00 PM. On Tuesday night there
will also be a dance performance at 9:30 PM."
