Haptic Poetry

Information

Haptic poetry combines characteristics of typography and sculpture to create work not only to be seen but to be touched. This group is for anyone who values sense of touch as much as sense of sight.

Comment by Bifidus Jones on November 11, 2012 at 8:15pm: Haptic Werewolf sends Haptic Elk

I saw Erni's lumpy package in the mail and knew the Werewolf was sending something good. I unwrapped the first few layers to find a green burlap bag with a package in it:

Is he fantastic or what?! Looking at those large antlers, I can see that he is wise. One of those ancient forest gods. Where did you find him, Erni?

I see that the green bag is from the Hubli Hospital. I like it! Danke, Haptic Werewolf!

HAPTIC STAG-BLING FOR ERNI'S ANTENNA

Comment by Bifidus Jones on August 29, 2012 at 3:23pm: Correction: yesterday's mail art was actually from Gilberte Vermeulen of Antwerp. My apologies, Gilberte--there are just too many good mail artists in Belgium!

Comment by Bifidus Jones on August 28, 2012 at 11:29pm: I just had to post this mail art here because Guido's envelope is so haptic--the hole, the secret window, lots of tape, the painted paper the stamps, and the brown faux crocodile envelope paper--I like it!

Inside is a sweet and tender rendering of worry and concern but also shadows of beauty and inner contemplation:

Merci beaucoup, Monsieur Vermeulen!

Comment by Bifidus Jones on August 23, 2012 at 8:59pm: The world is a better place because of UHU and Black Mountain and of course Haptic Poets

Comment by Bifidus Jones on August 20, 2012 at 5:09pm: Today's High and Low Art is brought to you by the Haptic Werewolf of Hamburg (he doesn't make this stuff, he just finds it):

You know I LOVE IT Herr Erni--danke!!
