In the autumn of 2006, La Única Puerta a la izquierda (The Only Door to the Left) L.U.P.I. organised the encounter between currents, tendencies and "operators". One of the activities was the creation of a Video-creations Archive, focusing on experimental poetry, creating a fund for visual creations.
One of the first conclusions drawn from those I Jornadas de Poesía Experimental de Euskadi / Euskal Herriko Poesia Esperimentalaren I Jardunaldiak was that these forms of creations find their principal support in Internet, expositions, samples and local alternatives, like for example these undertakings, the recording of events and acts related to experimental poetry. This is the area that we want to emphasise, enclosing a sample in the Biennale of Experimental poetry in Euskadi – EXPOESÍA 2008, "Recordings of Acts 2008". Nowadays technology is within reach of everybody, we find people recording the produced images during these acts and in most cases they owe their existence to the insistence of their creators.
Today the Biennale of Experimental poetry in Euskadi – EXPOESÍA 2008 recovers those "I Jornadas…" celebrated in Barakaldo in 2006, for its coordinators, and the Cultural Association L.U.P.I. have agreed to organise the following Convocation.
Recording of Acts 2008.
