Hall Building, Concordia University</strong>\n1455 De Maisonneuve Street West\n(514) 848-2424 ext. 2340\n\nThe SSHRC IG SpokenWeb Research Team is pleased to announce its first event in the \"Performing the Spoken Word Archive\" series. The event will be held Friday, October 12th, 2012 at 6:00 P.M. in H-110 of the Hall Building (1455 De Maisonneuve West), and will feature readings from poets George Bowering and David McFadden. Bowering is the recipient of two Governor General Awards for poetry and one for fiction, and is the author of more than ninety books. McFadden has published over fifteen collections of fiction and poetry and has been a nominee for the Governor General's Award and the Griffin Prize for poetry, among other honors.\n\nAs a live event component to the SpokenWeb project, an online digital spoken word archive, the series explores various ways that the archive can re-enter public space and become performance. In this event the authors will \"read alongside their past selves\"--that is, selections of archival audio recorded during the Sir George Williams University Poetry Reading Series (1967-1974). The readings will be followed by a panel discussion on the audio archive and the social and cultural import of the poetry reading, with Stuart Ross, Jason Camlot and Darren Wershler. The event will also feature an exhibition of period photos from the Concordia Archives, an interactive sound installation by Max and Julian Stein, and audience members can participate in an oral history memory clinic, where they will be invited to record their experiences with performed poetry.\n\n<a href=\"https://montreal.spokenweb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/performing_the_spoken_word_archive_poster.jpeg\"><img title=\"performing_the_spoken_word_archive_poster\" src=\"https://montreal.spokenweb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/performing_the_spoken_word_archive_poster-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" /></a>\n\nCheck out our blog post about this event <a href=\"https://montreal.spokenweb.ca/blog/performing-the-spoken-word-archive-event-october-12th-2012/\">here</a>"],"Note":["[]"],"Related_works":["[]"],"_version_":1853670549828403202,"timestamp":"2026-01-07T14:59:54.290Z","score":2.509891},{"id":"10033","cataloger_name":["Ella,Hooper"],"partnerInstitution":["Concordia University"],"collection_source_collection":["SpokenWeb AV"],"source_collection_label":["SpokenWeb AV"],"collection_contributing_unit":["SpokenWeb"],"source_collection_uri":[""],"collection_image_url":["https://archiveofthepresent.spokenweb.ca/_nuxt/img/header-img_1000.fd7675f.png"],"collection_source_collection_description":["SpokenWeb Audio Visual Collection"],"collection_source_collection_id":["ArchiveOfThePresent"],"persistent_url":["https://archiveofthepresent.spokenweb.ca/"],"item_title":["SpokenWeb Events AV, Performing Technology: SpokenWeb presents Oana Avasilichioaei, 14 November 2019"],"item_title_source":["https://spokenweb.ca/events/performing-technology-spokenweb-presents-oana-avasilichioaei/"],"item_language":["English"],"item_production_context":["Home recording"],"item_series_title":["SpokenWeb Events"],"item_identifiers":["[]"],"rights":["Creative Commons Attribution (BY)"],"rights_license":["Creative Commons Attribution (BY)"],"access":["Closed"],"creator_names":["Oana Avasilichioaei","Nik Forrest"],"creator_names_search":["Oana Avasilichioaei","Nik Forrest"],"creators":["[{\"url\":\"http://viaf.org/viaf/58498867\",\"name\":\"Oana Avasilichioaei\",\"dates\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Speaker\"]},{\"url\":\"\",\"name\":\"Nik Forrest\",\"dates\":\"\",\"notes\":\"\",\"nation\":[],\"role\":[\"Speaker\"]}]"],"contributors":["[]"],"Performance_Date":[2019],"material_description":["[]"],"digital_description":["[{\"file_url\":\"https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1-rXG2CkijyHo0n7xgQ18-ISnplhlqD9V\",\"file_path\":\"\",\"filename\":\"Forrest.Avasilichioaei.McLeod_PerformingTechnology_2019.11.14.TrLR.WAV\",\"channel_field\":\"\",\"sample_rate\":\"44.1 kHz\",\"duration\":\"01:44:29\",\"precision\":\"\",\"size\":\"1,658,797,184 bytes\",\"bitrate\":\"\",\"encoding\":\"\",\"contents\":\"\",\"notes\":\"MP3 audio\",\"title\":\"Forrest.Avasilichioaei.McLeod_PerformingTechnology_2019.11.14.TrLR\",\"credit\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"content_type\":\"Sound Recording\",\"featured\":\"\",\"public_access_url\":\"\"}]"],"Dates":["[{\"date\":\"2019-11-14\",\"type\":\"Performance Date\",\"notes\":\"\",\"source\":\"\"}]"],"Location":["[{\"url\":\"\",\"venue\":\"Concordia University McConnell Building\",\"notes\":\"\",\"address\":\"4th Space, Concordia University\",\"latitude\":\"45.4968036\",\"longitude\":\"-73.57792785757887\"}]"],"Address":["4th Space, Concordia University"],"Venue":["Concordia University McConnell Building"],"contents":["Performing Technology is an investigation into the electroacoustic tools and methods that poets and sound-artists use to manipulate and create sound poetry and sound art.

Can ‘smart’ tech be ‘smart’ sound? What happens when improvisation meets technology? Audience members are encouraged to ask questions and to reflect upon the experience of hearing this performance with and through technology. Free to attend and all are welcome.\n\n\nOana Avasilichioaei interweaves poetry, translation, photography, sound, and performance to explore an expanded idea of language, polylingual and polyphonic poetics, historical structures, borders, and orality. Her six poetry collections include We, Beasts (Wolsak & Wynn 2012, A. M. Klein Prize for Poetry), Limbinal (Talonbooks 2015), and Eight Track (Talonbooks, 2019), a poetic, sonic, visual investigation of ideas around tracks/tracking. Recent sound-performance works include EIGHT OVER TWO (2019, Semi Silent Award) and OPERATOR (2018), and she is currently writing a libretto for a one-act opera (FAWN, Toronto). She has also translated eight books of poetry and prose, including Bertrand Laverdure’s Readopolis (Book*hug 2017, Governor General Literary Award).

Currently a PhD student in the Interdisciplinary Humanities program at Concordia, their research combines sound studies, gender studies and creative practice in sound performance and installation. Their sound installations have been shown at Oboro (Montreal), Eastern Block (Montreal), Paved Arts and New Media (Saskatoon), Latitude 54 (Edmonton) and most recently at the Kunsthalle Mulhouse (France). Their short experimental videos have been shown widely at festivals, galleries and museums both in Canada and internationally.
