Telidon Regained: Emulating 1980s Canadian Videotex Art, Re:Source 2023, Venice, Sept 16 2023. A much shorter version of "Hacking Telidon in the 21st Century", described immediately below this entry.
Hacking Telidon in the 21st Century, InterAccess, Toronto, Sept 8th 2023. Talk accompanying "Remember Tomorrow: A Telidon Story", an exhibition of Telidon art at the InterAccess media art centre in Toronto, curated by Shauna Jean Doherty. A fairly comprehensive overview of what Telidon was, how Telidon Art fit into it, and how I set about assembling the four interactive Telidon displays used in the exhibition.
Historic Computing Lab Keeps Tabs on Old Technology UVic, 2022. A short promotional video about our Historic Computing Lab.
Augmenting Accessibility for Web Emulations of 1980s Digital Artifacts Oct 18, 2021, Access 2021. Discussing strategies for adding mobile access, descriptive text, and language translation to Emscripten DOSBox, using the JS-DOS API. Which was a big focus of my 2021 research leave.
A Multiplayer Voxel Game World as Virtual Conference Space (lightning talk), Access 2020, Oct 20. Access 2020 was, of necessity, the first entirely online Access conference. This talk was about the Minetest server I set up so folks would have a virtual space other than Zoom in which to congregate and build things.
Videotex Art Restoration: Technical and Conceptual Challenges (poster), iPres 2019, Amsterdam, September 18, 2019. I was asked to prepare a one minute promotional video for my talk, which provided a great self-referential opportunity to use the videotex technologies that have been recovered during the course of this project.
The Lost Art of Telidon, Vintage Computer Festival Pacific Northwest, Seattle, 2019. As I correctly anticipated the audience at a vintage computing festival would have a high tolerance for technical minutiae, this talk goes into greater depth about things like how the NAPLPS encoding worked than I do in my other presentations on the subject. The audio isn't great but you can still make out most of what I'm saying.
