Ylem Forum: The Wow! Factor
Wednesday, May 17, 7:30 PM
McBean Theater
The Exploratorium
3601 Lyon St.
San Francisco, CA 94123

Rarely does Ylem find two such unusual and gifted artists to share the
same
program. Wow!

Ed Tannenbaum will present �Interactivity Rules!� He wrote the
pioneering
software and designed new hardware to add graphic effects to the moving
human
figure that he uses in his installations and live performances. They
have
been seen throughout the world. Tannenbaum will show videos of his
performance work, take you behind the scenes of his work at the
Exploratorium, and talk about his techniques and philosophy. There may
also
be a demonstration.

Kristyan Panzica, the peripatetic poet, will present �Dark Flash,� a
drama-poem on the web that is illustrated with images from the Chandra
space
telescope.
    He writes: �I would like to inspire a forum on the potential of
E-mail as
literature, but what sort of literature?...If Jane Austin�s letters were
very
personal, the dark flashes were certainly immediate....The form of this
story, told through E-mail correspondence, is no different from the
letter-by-letter narrative Jane Austin employed in her novel Lady Susan.
The
effects, however, of instantaneous transmission and sophisticated
encryption
on both the intentions of the senders and the expectations of the
recipients
are literarily unprecedented.� (www.sduk.com/darkflash/)

Free, open to the public, wheelchair accessible.
