After a quarter-century entombed in obscurity, The Dark Eye is revived as Edgar Allan Poe’s Interactive Horror: 1995 Edition, a still-flawed yet serviceable gateway into the fascinatingly nightmarish world of a dark cult favorite…

tempo alla dreamachine
lo so che sembrerà outdated, fuori tempo massimo, però penso che alla dreamachine di Gysin-Burroughs bisognerebbe dedicare non poco tempo dell'esperienza quotidiana.https://youtu.

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

Tonight’s #movie, Queer, Luca Guadagnino, 2024.

I've promised to myself - and others - that one day I'd write a novel about "The Family".
It would be a work of fiction based off real life and it would be about a loose knit community in #Bergen #Norway, comprised of #hipsters, #hippies, #newagers and #ravers.
They have cost the #Norwegian #welfare system millions - and don't even know it.
I'm not sure if I'm at a point in my life now where I can write about them, but I will be employing my inner #huntersthompson and #williamburroughs.

Most interesting to me about William Burroughs was his characterisation of 'Word', meaning 'Language', as a virus, as often remarked presaging #hiv and #aids, but more importantly and more often overlooked drawing attention to the way language operates in our societies these days.
In a field probably rightly dominated by #NoamChomsky, Burroughs is a much under regarded figure.
