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 Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on January 13, 2011 at 10:23pm: Happy Haptic Day today in the mail, and it is after midnight here in Ellas, and I still haven't had time to post all these wonders!

First from Bifidus...Braille and the reachiing-forth-hand. 'Tis an amazing card that needs time to observe, touch, Feel-the-Art and read all the fine details. Names of the fingers...dunno, a mystery to me. And wondering what the Braille really says, though the touch is excellent. Thank you so much, Bifidus! It is a treasure!

And Laurence! amazing...and sticky-gooey (must be rubber cement or something), but great relief efects and very haptic! 'Love the security envelope, too, and the GREEK name! That's asemic for ya, and correctly spelt by the way! that you Laurence! It is a "365" mail art piece, mysterious is the "3096"...care to explain, or shall I just let it be my fantasy?

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on January 6, 2011 at 7:24pm: That is a happy haptic Renault, Erni. When I was visiting Berlin, I expected to see my little hot VW all over the place, and instead the streets were filled with Renault cars! Some French-German trade agreement? Strange!

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on January 6, 2011 at 6:06pm: And I, dear Herr Haptic Erni...got this little GERMAN VW Polo (on which are side-boards messages ;-)

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on January 6, 2011 at 6:04pm: The kid got a Suzuki Swift...(Is it that the car is small, or the kid is tall?)

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on January 6, 2011 at 6:01pm: But I once had a great little Subaru...then it was stolen (the car, not the kid)

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on January 6, 2011 at 5:59pm: Mini...a classic car!
