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 December 19, 2010 at 10:02pm: Have a Happy Haptic Holiday Season, everyone!

Touch...and Feel the Art :-)

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on December 17, 2010 at 8:26pm: Nirwana! Silly computers, the keyboard doesn't know how to print the "r" in NIRWANA! (aha, it did it this time, see?)

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on December 17, 2010 at 8:17pm: Great Niwana, Erni!'Will check the blog. That looks like great choco, but you do NOT have to send me any bars, especially not now during the holiday season. There would be such a delay at the Greek post office (the clerks would probably eat them).

And by the way, I looove pure choco noir (for later reference ;-)

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on December 17, 2010 at 7:49pm: IF those chocolates were here..it would be NIWANA!

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on December 17, 2010 at 7:45pm: Prefering to post photos of Herr Erni's magical package here rather than at the "blogs". They tend to get lost at the botom-of-the-pile after a few hours. This is soooo haptic! Many thanks, Ernie ('still looking for those chocolates...)

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on December 17, 2010 at 7:38pm: Okay...posting THE collage from Haptic Herr Erni! It is "vintage" from 2000? And I tried to photograph it so you understand the tagged-on match box as bas-relief! It was a joy to unwrap and a joy to display and ENJOY wondrously. Plus, I acquired lots of extra cardboard pieces for more haptic art ;-) now, the envelope claimed "Nirwana Noir... Chocolat noir praline" whaaaa, me want those chocolates ;-( Even the mailgal was looking for some treats. sorry, "just" a match box. Thanks muchly, Erni!

Comment by Jen Staggs on December 16, 2010 at 8:29am: Growing up, Cracker Jack prizes devolved from poor to fairly craptastic. This is WAY better.

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on December 16, 2010 at 8:25am: I am posting this amazing art from theCrackerJack Kid here, as well as on a blog, because it seems to be pure haptic poetry...also FLUXUS! It came inside two "recycled" Greek blue air mail envelopes that I had originally sent back in June! The creative genious of the Kid transformed them into poetry, first class. what a great CrackerJack surprise was inside! Say what?

Comment by Jen Staggs on December 16, 2010 at 5:18am: And don't forget the great variations of urine in Warhol's oxidized pieces, this is 1978's "Oxidation"- urine on copper (though I must admit I like my art pee-free.)
