| Description | This artist's talk will navigate the emerging territories and queer liminalities of a poetic practice that integrates text, code, bodies, and technologies that capture and transform space. The presentation will culminate in a short performance of inside My Gorge, an immersive augmented reality poem and performance by Morrissey and collaborator Abraham Avnisan. Judd Morrissey is a writer and code artist who creates poetic systems across a range of platforms incorporating electronic writing, live performance, and augmented reality. He is the creator of widely studied digital literary works including The Last Performance [dot org], The Jew's Daughter, and My Name is Captain, Captain. He is co-founder of the experimental language, performance, and technology collective, Anatomical Theatres of Mixed Reality (ATOM-r), with whom he has created two large-scale multi-platform projects, The Operature (2014) and Kjell Theøry (2017).
