Literary Cabaret: Computational Writing - Chapter 1

Literary Cabaret: Computational Writing - Chapter 1, located in Banff in the Canadian Rockies, offers an intimate evening of experimental literary performance. Across three nights, guests explore poetry and prose that feel both familiar and radically new, created and performed by participants in the Computational Writing residency alongside their faculty mentors. The focus is on using technology, code, and artificial intelligence as ethical, creative tools that expand, rather than replace, human imagination. Hosted by Dr. Nick Montfort, a leading figure in computational literature, this chapter highlights his extensive work in computer-generated books and digital projects. Travellers can expect a thought-provoking experience that reimagines authorship, language, and form through collaboration between humans and machines.
