Computer/Culture 83
Informatique/Culture 83
The programme booklet and programme flyer of a festival ("rencontre") on Computer Culture organised by the French organisation C.I.R.C.A. in Villeneuve-lez-Avignon, 8-31 July 1983.
Language: English and French (French part reversed, starting at the rear end of the booklet).
This was an important meeting of the French (and US-American) art, technology and science scene at the time; participants included Vilém Flusser, Edmond Couchot, Ted Nelson, Lilian Schwartz, Benoît Mandelbrot, Jean-Pierre Balpe, and many others. The programme included workshops e.g. by Michel Bret, Hervé Huitric, Monique Nahas, and by ALAMO. (This is also four months before the exhibition "ELECTRA" opened in Paris, in November 1983.)

(Personally, I am interested in this event because it was visited on 10-12 July 1983 by artist and theorist Jean-Louis Boissier together with design theorist and curator Thierry Chaput who was preparing the exhibition "Les Immatériaux" at the time; in those same weeks, Jean-François Lyotard first joined the team at the Centre Pompidou/CCI that had been working, under Chaputs leadership, on the exhibition project since 1981; according to Boissier, "Informatique/Culture" was Chaput's first encounter with some of the people in the media arts scene who would later also participate in the "Immatériaux" exhibition. abroeck)
