Patrick Lichty will talk to the group of x Friday July 1 at 7pm at 
805-4350 Beresford St, Burnaby.

Patrick Lichty is an artist, cultural theorist, curator, and activist 
who has been engaged with digital culture since 1989. His main interest 
is that of the effects of mediation and virtuality on the way society 
perceives reality.  He has been/is part of numerous collectives, such as 
RTMark, The Yes Men, Terminal Time, Haymarket Riot, Second Front, and 
Virtual Fluxus.  His work has been part of ISEA, Ars Electronica, 
Transmediale, the Whitney Biennial, and he is in the permanent 
collection of the Smithsonian Museum of American Art. He is currently 
living in Dubai, and is in Vancouver this month archiving the work of 
telematics artists in the region for his project, Slow Scan Media Arts 
Archive.

For this evening's talk, Patrick will touch on his media art and 
electronic text works, and discuss his current research concerning Slow 
Scan TV and the work done in the 70¹s and 80¹s at Open Space and Western 
Front.

It's interesting that Patrick, an international new media guy, is here 
to do research on some local new media history that many locals don't 
know much about. I have heard about Bill Bartlett and the work Patrick 
is researching many times but don't really know much about it. I look 
forward to hearing about it and also about some of Patrick's other 
projects.
