Eco-Asemics for Mail-Artists - Gallery & Discussion

[De Villo Sloan]

 

Eco-Asemics is a term used to describe Asemic Writing found in asemic-suggestive shapes in the natural environment. Artists exploring Eco-Asemics often use photographs; however, incorporation in art could be done in numerous ways. The potential for Haptic-Eco-Asemics is vast. Eco-Asemics might be found in rock formations, sand, trees and plants - anywhere that your mind can locate potential signs, symbols, and structures in nature. Eco-Asemics is somewhat different from human-made asemic writing taken from environments created or altered by people (found art - Asemic Trashpo), but there certainly is overlap.

This morning the near-by beach was black with "asemic diamonds" from the high waves. They carried in a small oil slick and it settled on the sand. But as the water recedes, very geometric diamond shapes are formed...how is that?

Angie, I've been meaning to comment on that street photo you posted. That's patched asphalt? Ever since this asemics thing started I've been noticing all those street patches too. That one you found is really great, or whatever it is.

Just wanted to make sure, Angie. I'm pondering over the Asemic Syntax concept for #5. Your pic has actual enclosed forms. 

Makes me think.

 

Skybridge, these shots with plants, Kat posted some as well, are more to think about. They are really great to look at - I'm trying to get a handle on the plant thing. I've been more oriented toward rocks and stones, etc.

 

Many thanks to Kat who pushed me to set up this thread - great ideas here.
