Join us for an evening with the experimental poet and conceptual artist Christian Bök. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Bök currently teaches at Leeds School of Arts in the UK, where he has recently completed his project titled The Xenotext. Bök has encoded a poem into the DNA of a deathless bacterium, thereby creating a work of ‘living poetry’ so durable that it might outlast the Sun. He will discuss aspects of his groundbreaking practice with Alex Estorick, Editor-in-Chief at Right Click Save.
