“When you cut into the present, the future leaks out.” William S. Burroughs

In which we examine the cut-up techniques of Burroughs & Gysin, informed by the following texts:
Brion Gysin – Cut-Up Self-Explained (1970)
William Burroughs – The Cut-Up Methods of Brion Gysin
Oliver Harris – Introduction to William Burroughs’ Nova Express (1964) (2013)
William Burroughs - Nova Express (extract) (1964)
William Burroughs – The Electronic Revolution (c.1970)
William Burroughs - The Invisible Generation (c.1961-63)
William Burroughs - TIME (1964)

Article in the UK newspaper The People, August 1960

We will concentrate on William Burroughs as 1960s tactical media activist, and how he and his collaborators used the media of text, tape and film.
