MaryAnne - thanks for the update on chapters you are receiving. Good to hear from you.

Comment by Mim Golub Scalin on July 3, 2011 at 3:53pm: Brilliant!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on July 3, 2011 at 3:32pm: David Stafford has become an asemic commentator for us, part cynic and part cheerleader. With all the ether, it's always good to have reality checks and keep things in perspective: Latest David Stafford asemic piece:

Comment by MaryAnne on July 3, 2011 at 3:27pm: I have so far received four mailings as part of the asemic book project number 1. All the covers are scanned into "my photos" although they do not have much to show for their journey through the postal system.
all being well I should start sending out my own contributions this week sometime.

Comment by Samuel Montalvetti on July 3, 2011 at 2:43pm: Hola a todos

Gracias gracias muy buena la info aqui volcada, tengo para entretenerme un rato largo averiguando y aprendiendo ASEMIC

Salud!!!! Amigos

Comment by Mim Golub Scalin on July 3, 2011 at 5:03am: That is a brochure my friend brought me from The Republic of Georgia. Fascinating. I thought it was asemic writing!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on July 3, 2011 at 2:06am: On the subject of Mim & cut-ups, here's some recent mail-art I received from her. Note in particular the work at the top:

Can the Burroughs cut-up method be used to create asemic writing? Mim's work would suggest you can. She's a collage artist so comes by this naturally. Chopping up the existing alphabet and rearranging material (as randomly as possible) could lead to language and image discoveries generally, I think.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on July 3, 2011 at 1:52am: great one Mim, imitation asemic writing; it had to happen ;)))
