Triple Canopy is a Greenpoint-based online magazine, workspace, and “platform” for editorial and curatorial activities. They work collaboratively with writers, artists, and researchers and try to facilitate projects that “engage the Internet’s specific characteristics as a public forum and as a medium, one with its own evolving practices of reading and viewing, economies of attention, and modes of interaction.”

Phew. That’s a mouthful. But interesting, very interesting. I get email from TC from time to time and I finally decided to take a look. I was very intrigued by the folded poem (see left) by Erica Baum.

On Friday July 20, Triple Canopy and Siglio are presenting an evening with artists/writers, Amaranth Borsuk and Erica Baum,  “who dissolve the boundaries between the visual and the literary, the digital and the analogue, by probing the spaces of the in-between.

Baum is a poet who makes poems by folding the pages of old paperbacks (see picture) and Borsuk has created a epistolary romance that can only be read “in augmented reality.”

This multi-media evening is sure to be interesting and will include performances and a discussion moderated by Triple Canopy editor Dan Visel.
