I'm a bit surprised and more than a little delighted that I'll be showing
Aleph Null (http://vispo.com/aleph) in Paris at the Sorbonne at the &Now
conference on innovative writing (http://andnowfestival.com) in June. And
three kind scholars will be giving presentations on Aleph Null. Thanks to
Leo Flores, Saemmer Alexandra, and Mark Marino for their interest in Aleph
Null.
I'm delighted that my scholar friends and the people organizing the
conference are interested in Aleph Null and in seeing it in a context of
innovative writing; after all, it is a visual piece, is more evidently a
work of programmerly visual art rather than of writing. But they are right
that it's useful to see it in a writerly context. My site is a writing site;
writing is what I've been doing for thirty years. The whole vispo.com site
involves many approaches to writing and its involvement with other arts and
media. And Aleph Null is indeed primarily a written thing; I wrote it in
JavaScript. The only parts that weren't written in JavaScript or HTML 5 are
the two logos, which I created in Photoshop, an image-making program. O ya
and also the 192 screen shots and the icons thereof. But they're
documentation of Aleph Null.
Poets are now also writers of zeroes and ones--but in the secret codes of
art! You are the code breaker--some imagination required!
