Ruairí O'Brien's "Poesielabor" Installation "Digital memory" Dresden 2010 Ruairí O'Brien performed a visual poem with Light and Word in Hommage to Jorge Luis Borges. Titled "Digital Memory" O'Brien worked with the Borges text "The Libary of Babel". He also created for the evening a light installtion and exhibited small cardboard models of the "The Libary of Babel".
Bas Böttcher performed some of his most well known slam works and Beat Suter presented his work "Searchsonate" which was also spoken live by Vanessa Vidal. The public was invited to interact with the project.
The evening demonstrated in its experimental form that the world of poetry has a wide range of interpretations ranging from the spoken word, web interaction through to visual sound.
