Poême électronique
A synesthetic arousal of images in motion, sounds and lights. I can only imagine how impressive Poême électronique was when presented live in the form of performance at the 1958 Brussels Worlds Fair. 425 speakers were placed all throughout the space created by LeCorbusier and Iannis Xenaki, with the purpose of having Edgard Varêse's sound appear to move in space, all around the audience. A sort of precursor of surround sound.
In LeCorbusier's own words: "I will not make a pavilion for you but an Electronic Poem and a vessel containing the poem; light, color image, rhythm and sound joined together in an organic synthesis". Documentation and images here.
GONE exhibition
'GONE' is an exhibition that will take place at The Horse Hospital in London from Saturday 15th September to Saturday 6th October and my video 'Sonopuncture' will be part of it. For more info read the press release.

Anthology of conceptual writing
We are used to encounter literary works and poems that are the spontaneous expression of inner emotions, where the idea retains the dominant position in the structure. But let is try to think of a different kind of writing, more logical, meticulous, and less egoistic, where the language becomes the physical presence in the sctructure of the poem. Ubuweb presents a collection of conceptual writing that goes beyond the simple literary works and extends to other forms of art.
