Literary Cabaret: Computational Writing - Chapter 2

Join them for a boundary-pushing evening of experimental poetry and prose at this Literary Cabaret, sharing works from the Computational Writing residency at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity. Across three nights, explore writing that is at once strangely familiar and radically new, created and performed by participants and faculty mentors. This one-and-a-half-week residency unites writers and artists interrogating how technology, code, and artificial intelligence can be used as ethical, creative tools for producing new poetry and prose. The goal isn’t to replace human creativity, but to reimagine authorship, language, and form through collaboration with machines. This chapter is hosted by Kalen Iwamoto, an internationally recognized conceptual artist and pioneer of blockchain and NFT poetics. She is the co-founder of the digital poetry gallery and collective theVERSEverse.
