    In this the legendary 1978 Nova Convention, we hear interviews with organizer/poet John Giorno, followed by the uncut Nova Convention panel discussion unheard for decades. Moderator Les Levine masterfully guides panelists William S. Burroughs, Robert Anton Wilson, Timothy Leary and Brion Gysin. Listen to them re-imagining science fiction and foreseeing a culture yet to come.

    The Nova Convention was a three-day event, taking place in New York City on November 30, December 1 and December 2, 1978. Intended as a homage to William S. Burroughs, the “convention” included seminars, music performances, readings and more. Attending were an odd mixture of academics, publishers, writers, artists, punk rockers and counterculture disciples. The event had a small hitch. The organizers had announced Keith Richards’ attendance, which made the event a sellout. Richards’ last minute cancellation, however, gave the event an antagonistic oscillation between performer and audience.

    The series was originally produced by Giorno Poetry Systems for WBAI radio. The 2013 restoration comes from John Giorno’s private tapes. The effort is to restore, as completely as possible, the entire three-day event for for broadcast by the Clocktower Gallery radio station: https://clocktower.org/show/nova-convention-1978-the-third-mind

    Catherine Mathis: L’exposition à rêves de la Tate Modern

    ‘ArtsHebdoMédias’, 30 mai 2025

    “Le parcours conçu par Val Ravaglia, conservateur du département « art international » à la Tate Modern, offre un vaste panorama sur les relations art/technologie avant Internet, lorsque l’ordinateur ne faisait pas encore partie de l’équipement des foyers ni même de la plupart des ateliers d’artiste. L’ensemble opère un flash-back vertigineux sur la culture d’avant le tout numérique, celle d’un monde sans portable…”

  4. ❝ “Repetitive yet always featuring distinct markings,” points out the University of Delaware exhibition notes, “[Brion Gysin's 'roller grid' prints] represented an idiosyncratic system, an irrational order, combining repetition and chance. The principle of the ‘rolling grid’ (endless repetition with endless variation) can be seen at work in many of Gysin’s and Williams S. Burrough’s projects, including the Dream Machine.” ❞ → flashbak.com/brion-gysins-drea
