Event Description Christian Bök is the author of Eunoia, a bestselling work of experimental literature, and a book of poetry, Crystallography. Bök has earned many accolades for his virtuoso performances of sound poetry, and his conceptual artworks have appeared at the Marianne Boesky Gallery in New York City as part of the exhibit Poetry Plastique.

Erik Loyer is a digital media artist who creates pieces that exhibit strong tactile qualities and a unique synergy. His award-winning 1998 Web site The Lair of the Marrow Monkey (www.marrowmonkey.com) was one of the first to be added to the collection of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. In 1999, Loyer received a Rockefeller Media Fellowship to develop his episodic interactive narrative Chroma, which has been exhibited internationally.
