Subject: [x] Deanne Achong, Group of X, Fri Nov 20, 7pm
Message-ID: <563ACCFA.4030701@vispo.com>

I'm pleased to announce that Deanne Achong will be talking to the Group 
of X on Friday November 20 at 7pm.

*******************
BIO
*******************

Deanne Achong is an artist based in Vancouver, BC. Her practice explores 
concepts of time, narrative,
and archival ?fictions? through various new-media projects?net-art, 
blogs, robots, and apps. She also
works with photography, video and installations. She has sat on the 
board of several artist-run centers,
including Other Sights for Artists? Projects, a collective presenting 
public art projects. She has exhibited
her work in Canada, the US, the Caribbean, and Europe. She recently 
completed a multi-phase public art
project with Faith Moosang, installed at the Richmond Olympic Oval, as 
well as an app (Lulu Sweet: A
Gold Rush Tale in 8 Acts). This past summer she presented a beta version 
of her current app Lusca, at
ELO in Bergen, Norway, and The Obsolescence Project at ISEA at the VAG. 
She has an MFA from UBC,
and a BFA from NSCAD.

*******************
TALK DESCRIPTION
*******************

She will chat about both old and much more recent projects; speculate 
about obsolescence (how do you
solve the problem of old projects that linger online well past their due 
date?), a monster?s consciousness,
and a very new public art commission.

Subject: [x] A talk about digital poetry at UBC this Wednesday (tomorrow) by
 Jim Andrews
Message-ID: <564B799D.7030206@vispo.com>

You're invited to a talk this Wednesday (tomorrow) at UBC I'm giving. 
Here's info on it:
http://dlc.lled.educ.ubc.ca/2015/10/24/dlc-series-language-and-literacy-on-the-frontiers-of-digital-poetry 


The food will be served at 4:40pm. Early bird gets the worm. The talk is 
from 5 to 6; Q&A from 6 to 6:30.

The audience will mainly consist of soon-to-be and some already-are K-12 
English teachers studying at UBC under the 
poet/artist/musician/performer/theorist/teacher Kedrick James who, with 
Ron Darvin, organized the talk.

I'll be showing some interactive/visual/audio poems and also addressing 
the following issues:
1. Why you should teach digital poetry
2. How digital media is transforming language
3. What is digital poetry?
4. What are some pedagogical possibilities of digital poetry?
5. Why I wandered lonely from a cloud

The talk is at Pondersosa F at UBC at the Digital Literacy Centre.

The parkade nearest Ponderosa F (DLC is Room 103):
