Nov. 19th: Nick Montfort
Digital media art, literature, and culture is full of work, and often very interesting work, that is based directly on what has come before—from Cory Archangel’s Super Mario Clouds to 1980s home video games based on arcade games to Eddo Stern’s Fort Paladin: America’s Army to the more than 20 remixes and reworkings of Nick Montfort’s Taroko Gorge. To understand what’s going on with these artworks, literary works, and games, we need to see how they relate to and how they are transforming earlier digital media. This ATNE Salon will tackle this issue.
When: Wednesday, Nov. 19th, 7:30pm
Where: Boston Cyberarts Gallery, 141 Green St., Jamaica Plain, MA
Presenter: Nick Montfort
Free event
RSVP to info@atne.org or on our Facebook event. Space is limited.
