Text and Electricity is an afternoon symposium designed to bring experimental poets together with those working creatively with technology: coders, circuit-benders, dorks and hackers.

We plan a loosely structured and exploratory conversation, punctuated by short informal accounts from participants talking about their work and approaches.  The afternoon will be designed to enable people working across disciplines to share ideas and experience.

Discussion could focus on possible points of convergence between experimental uses of text and technology, whether in performance, online, in software applications or in gallery contexts. It will be up to you!

The event will be facilitated by Will Montgomery Director, Poetics Research Centre, Royal Holloway and Brian Condon of C4CC.

Co-organised by the Poetics Research Centre, Royal Holloway and the Centre for Creative Collaboration.

Thursday, April 19, 2012 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Centre for Creative Collaboration, 16 Acton Street, London, WC1X 9NG. Book a ticket at Eventbrite.
