# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Literary Cabaret: Computational Writing - Chapter 1
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-06:00)
- **Event Description**: Location: CLVB '33

Join us for a boundary-pushing evening of experimental poetry and prose at this Literary Cabaret, sharing works from the Computational Writing residency at Banff Centre. Across three nights, explore writing that is at once strangely familiar and radically new, created and performed by participants and faculty mentors.

This two-week residency unites writers and artists interrogating how technology, code, and artificial intelligence can be used as ethical, creative tools for producing new poetry and prose. The goal isn’t to replace human creativity, but to reimagine authorship, language, and form through collaboration with machines.

This chapter is hosted by Dr. Nick Montfort, one of the world’s leading figures in computational literature and digital writing. His work includes 10 computer-generated books, the collaborations The Deletionist and Sea and Spar Between, and more than 50 individual digital projects.

Enjoy a drink from the bar and immerse yourself in a playful literary setting. Doors open at 6:15 p.m., with readings starting at 7 p.m. Afterward, mingle with the writers and faculty until 9:30 p.m.

Don’t miss this chance to discover poems generated by algorithms, stories shaped by code, and more.

Literary Arts is generously supported by the Flanagan Foundation and Fondation David R. Graham.
