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 Laurence Roberts on December 13, 2010 at 11:12am: the deep blue is wonderful - as i look it seems to deepen and deepen

as if there is a 'home' (haimat, cartref) within the blue - emptiness so capacious - yes -- room for all ......

in 'there' .....

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on December 12, 2010 at 8:05am: "palming" is a great eye-relaxing exercise, especially for those of us with myopia...and in front of a computer for a long time span. I see warm glow from yellow orange through to coral tones, it must be Paradise.

Comment by Jen Staggs on December 11, 2010 at 7:16pm: A bottle of Stella in the snow! How haptic can you get! In Texas we're still wearing shorts and drinking vats of iced tea to keep cool.

Comment by Bifidus Jones on December 11, 2010 at 6:14pm: On the other hand, bears may be on to something by hibernating all winter. A little down time in order to recharge can do wonders for the creative spirit. A toast to all my Haptic friends--and for anyone who doesn't know what snow feels like, come on over to Lincoln Avenue. Shovels and beer provided--Cheers!

Comment by Bifidus Jones on December 11, 2010 at 3:28pm: True enough, Herr Dharmadada. Further more, making connections requires one to be "awake". HOW EXACTLY do we stay awake despite our daily routines? I think that's why I think IUOMA is important: it's a way for mail artists to keep each other awake.

Comment by Laurence Roberts on December 11, 2010 at 2:58pm: This discussion is really interesting - + inspiring.

yes, merz, space, 'making connections between everything in the world' and Feeling the Art !

It's great Schwitters' artwork represents this group.
