Dear friends,
my husbands says it is better to secure alertness in my brain while he
takes control over my state after the big-bang (the bang of my forehead
against the basin edge caused by a wrong calculation of my possibilities
of chinese bendings in the narrow space allowed), so, to keep alert, I am
going to tell you about a Festival of Visual Poetry organized by an
Italian Lady, Caterina Davino, who is sending around calls for submissions
for an event who will present 100 international artist, producing
videopoetry,
videoperformances (related with poetry or performative-poetry), computer &
web poetry, interactive poetry, etc....(see address at the end of this
page).
I have a few ideas abut this poetry field: when we write poetry we use
language to represent not only ideas an thoughts by mainly objects and
real situations, so visual poetry ideally would deal with this kind of
double-edged essence of poetry. One of the many functions and aims of the
visual and objective world out there is therefore, to provoke linguistic
(subjective) acts.
Speech acts – being subjectively produces and elaborated by single
individuals over a field of submerged or else emerged speech acts produced
by people other than the individual speaker, may create darkness,
ambiguity and imprecision, which are not always unintentional, and which,
in fact, may constitute a structured set of individually acknowledged
rules (poetiche).
Speech is never free from these (intentional, most often but sometimes
also unintentional ) implications and complications (the so
called “poetiche”)………………..
In their drive to communicate experiences and matters of fact (and with
them, the ideas derived from realties and from the imaginary world build
upon these facts) , the poets and well as the common speaker, creates act
of speech: this is a well knows process of getting to participate to the
crowd of images the world around us offers to us, imposes upon us…and to
which the speakers respond always adding a hint to it, adding the poetry
of the perceiver.
These poetics are in a way the objects the poets the speakers deal with (a
selection which is arbitrary but also culturally induced) – I have such a
terrible headache, and my vision is blurring down due to the big-
bang……….remember?
It is less the soul which speaks out its feeling than the factual eye
which encapsulates in a frame the field of visions out there….
Well,
erminia
