This talk is introduced by Head Curator of the Surrey Art Gallery, Jordan Strom.
Presented at the Surrey Art Gallery Symposium, "New Media Emerging: 2 or 3 Things You Should Know About Videopoetry", Nov. 5, 2022. On this day, a windstorm knocked out the power at the gallery, threatening the cancellation of the event. Surrey Art Gallery staff scrambled and succeeded in securing a new venue at the Surrey Public Library. They saved the day.

"A new art emerging" is not an idle boast.
No matter where you go these days, which corner of the world, the question is always the same. What is videopoetry, they ask us. You can take a stab at the answer but the best we can hope for is a metaphor, a metaphor that works and will keep working, working for our audiences, working for future artists.
– Tom Konyves
