L.A.I.R.E.

L.A.I.R.E. was established in 1989 and stands for "Lecture - Art - Innovation - Recherche -Écriture". It was an association of innovative writers including Claude Maillard, Tibor Papp, Philippe Bootz, Jean-Marie Dutey and Frédéric de Velay, who saw animated poetry as a third wave in the domain of digital poetryu (or "poésie númerique"). According to Alain Vuillemin, L.A.I.R.E. was later renamed Mots-Voir.
