Ian Hatcher, "All Hands Meeting"
"All Hands Meeting" is a solo performance/reading that presents itself as a corporate meeting presided over by a synthetic manager. Three new strategic initiatives are presented to the audience of interns; the nature of the future of the organization's work is discussed; a poem on space colonization as escapist fantasy is read; and a serious but highly flawed argument is made for turning over all substantial and complex policy decisions to software.
Richard Holeton, "Found Poetry as Multimedia Slideshow"
“Afterword(s): Take a Book/Leave a Book” is a found poetry experiment in which I constructed a series of poems from the final words of books being tossed out or recycled. The text version is forthcoming in the journal
Forklift, Ohio, Issue #37. I’ll present a multimedia/slideshow version of the work, highlighting the methodology of using a Take a Book/Leave a Book library as source material for appropriated text.
