[-empyre-] Introducing Neural Skeins and Digital Skins -- November on -empyre-

[-empyre- administration <empyre-owner@lists.cofa.unsw.edu.au>]

Please join -empyre- in welcoming Tamara Lai, Alessandro Ludovico, Alan
Sondheim and Florian Cramer discussing the terrain of the 'net, as text, as
psychogeography, as spatial construct.

In a pastiche of imagery and French and English text, Tamara Lai (Belgium)
spins her intimate, visceral cyber-poems from her base in Liege.  Lai's
oeuvre includes exploration of performance, ephemerality and virtual
relations.  See Tamara's latest work at

Alan Sondheim (US), New York based net artist and poet, conducts a
continuous meditation on cyberspace, emphasizing issues of interiority,
subjectivity, body, and language.
