Scope and Contents Henri Chopin Avant-garde pioneer of sound poetry Frédéric Acquaviva Tuesday February 5, 2008 The Guardian: "Towards the end of the second world war, Henri Chopin, who has died aged 85, escaped from a forced labour camp in Olomouc, in what is now the Czech Republic, after it had been bombed.

Scope and Contents On page 52 and 53 a hologram "Adrift" (1991) by Kac is acknowledged and illustrated to be in the collection of the Sackner Archive.

The letters that make the words are floating irregularly along several Z axes, except for the word 'breathe', which is integrated into the overall light field. This word is blown by an imaginary wind as its letters actually move away from their original position to dissolve the light field. The movement of the letters in this word disrupts the apparent stability of the other words."This book is divided into sections titled Holopoetry, Digital Poetry, Biopoetry and Space Poetry. -- Source of annotation:...
