The problem is scrolling. Scrolling is a brilliant way to display a map or an Excel spreadsheet on a computer. But it’s a terrible way to display text. That’s because scrolling moves the text on a page. And moving text, even if it’s under your control, will break your reading rhythm.

The Sound on This Day Triple Canopy is pleased to present an evening of performance and reading with poets Caroline Bergvall and Macgregor Card.  October 5 at 7:30pm155 Freeman St, Brooklyn, NY  Bergvall’s tongue trips over a lost letter of the English alphabet in her performance, “Ping.” In Bergvall’s mouth, the “thorn”—a runic sign, Þ, representing a distinct “th“ sound and now fallen into disuse—becomes an anachronistic interruption (a Þing), a bodily impediment (an oversized “tooth”), and an accidental implement of writing. Bergvall’s project was inspired by The Seafarer, an anonymous Anglo-Saxon poem from the 10th century. An iteration of this work, along with an animation by Ciarán Maher, will appear in issue 17 of Triple Canopy and forms part of Triple Canopy’s four-part program, Corrected Slogans, a collaboration with the upcoming exhibition “Postscript: Writing after Conceptual Art,” at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. Card is a poet of sonic ecstasis who employs revised ballad form, refrain, surrealist lament, gentle stammer. Drawing on the matter of poetry’s past as well as the stuff of contemporary idiom, Card writes across various Englishes (and poetries, English and otherwise). His poems do not so much rhyme as ring: with insistently repeated words, parapraxes, and audible punctuation. He will read from recent work.

Triple Canopy presents artist Anna Lundh for a deluxe reading, performance, and silent concert of her piece, “The Tale of the Big Computer,” published in Bad Actors, Issue 13 of Triple Canopy. In 1996, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Hannes Alfvén published the Swedish sci-fi novel The Tale of the Big Computer under the pseudonym Olof Johannesson. Alfvén’s bestseller inspired in turn a “computer opera” by the composer Karl-Birger Blomdahl. The opera was never completed, and all that remain are fragments of evidence. Lists of noises such as “sword against shield, water boiling, meat frying, steam engine, a falling guillotine, subway, a radio being squeaky and noisy, the first voice of a sputnik, washing machine, dishwasher, A-bomb explosions.” Collaborators and collaborators’ collaborators including Billy Klüver, Pontus Hultén, Öyvind Fahlström, and others involved with E.A.T. (Experiments in Art and Technology).  155 Freeman Street, Brooklyn, NY. Saturday, February 25, 6:30 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m.
