No commentsFirst Screening - Computer Poems by bpNichol
A project to recover some of the earliest computer-based poetry by one of Canada’s finest poets has just been completed by Jim Andrews, Geof Huth, Lionel Kearns, Marko Niemi and Dan Waber. It is a fine example of how to recover and return lost work, and they offer a variety of original and emulated versions. As the intro text makes clear, the business of archiving electronic writing is still terribly underdiscussed, despite this being an issue that most digital writers will face… “O ye digital poets: the past of the art is in your hands and it is you who must recover and maintain it.”
