Hi Stephen (Duffy)
thanks for taking Billy's bait. I know i'm being wilful but isn't also
possible to reverse your elegant reading of inter-relation between writing
and performance as:
the programming is the performance and the writing is the running of the
programme?
I almost bit it for a moment but then decided that performance and
programming and writing were as inseperable as that old addage for form and
content - at least without getting into quantum distinctions??
Otherwise thanks. I would agree that comparisons with the page are
invideous for this space. Also that one of the things that can and will and
is already happening here is a 'new illuminated manuscript', or an
interdisciplinary space for writing. Agreed, scrolling is pretty boring,
past a modicum, and the writing which we will come to see will not only be
'words' but also much more aligned with moving texts, graphic novels and
even comics - in terms of its assemblages and series of attentions. It is
my sense that poetics and poetry is well placed to be a guiding principle
as to how to say things with language under pressure. Much for those on
this list, even the wrinklies and the sceptics to meet the approaching
challenge of in fact.
love and love
cris
