is it really (only) “visual
poetry” the thing I deal with?
I realize I'm absolutely interested in signs, traces, borders,
explanations, asemic areas, glyphs, arrows, cacography, alphabets, open fields,
blurred images, distant grass, abstract figures and movies, glitch in sound and
vision, ripped cardbox, scratched wood, scratched tapes, uncanny machines, lack
of meaning, naive drawings, art brut, lowres shots, random shots, bad photos of
notes and things, boring manuscripts, boring explanations, boring graffiti,
handwritten lists and instructions, weird diagrams, diaries, “action writing” /
action painting, mixed excerpts of any kind, verbovisual chaos, contradictions,
plain statements, twisted sentences, heaps of words, chalk drawings, empty rooms,
empty squares, pseudo-fields of forces, found items, readymades, unfinished
sketches, bad prose pieces, cut-up prose, diagonals, bunch of diagonals, ugly
scribbles and doodles, fake math, stains and lakes and wires and snakes of black
ink, ideograms, fake ideograms, cursive overwriting, collapse of sound, and
noise, superimposed images, collage, digital collages, disturbed texts, écriture,
walls and sheets of words, handwritten papers, rough handwriting, incomplete
transcriptions, photos of manuscripts, scanned fragments, bad scans, arte
molto povera, installances, lost leaflets, dirty ones, old and new
ephemera, marginal events, short movies, b/w works, out-of-focus, stones,
written stones, my bad English...
all of this stuff is what I try to mix, write, pick up, store, and
I'm against editing, post-production, bellettrisme, wise
quotations, meta-language, mimicry, novels, serious art, and
I DO REJECT HI-RES.
what do I have to do with all of the thousand hi-res & calligraphically
rendered online landscapes? first of all, I have some actual landscape offline.
and: I’ve no time at all.
___’d better go fetch errors and misshapen signs, traces, borders, ...
