Short description

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.
