Last night I gave an invited talk about William S. Burroughs and his ‘transmedia legacy’ at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, University of Oregon. Larry Fong, curator of American & Regional Arts, asked me to give the talk in order to situate Burroughs in relation to a current and an upcoming exhibits; the current show is “Media Alchemy of Nam June Paik,” and the upcoming show is “ONE STEP BIG SHOT: PORTRAITS BY ANDY WARHOL AND GUS VAN SANT” (opening on May 15).
Once I edit the presentation a bit for readability, I’ll post a PDF here. In the meanwhile, you can access the Prezi I used as a “tour” of Burroughs’ transmedia legacy as it is publicly available. Here is the URL:
