Haptic Poetry

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.

Very mute indeed.

Pedro's cards are always fascinating, as we try to decipher what is really between the plastic layers? He sent this to Afroditi for the EGG exhibit:

and I do think that there maybe egg yoke inside?

As we can't "feel-the-art", or smell it...perhaps it is not "haptic" in that sense, or senses, but because we "see" it...and can imagine what it must smell like, etc...well, it could be haptic poetry!

It's a host, consecrated bread for the ritual of Holy Communion. Don't remember whether it was really haptic or not. The card is hidden somewhere in my huge blue box filled with mail art I received.

What's that orange thing on the bottom left, Erni? a holy haptic cookie?

Great posting, MomKat. I really like the pics!

Nice  "angels" here!...er, in Hamburg :-)

This was in today's mail:

always strange, and "haptic" from "Mute sound".

It makes me wonder what is inside the plastic lamination???

Though there isn't anything "gooey" or mold-growing this time!

There are a few choco coin wrappings and a tag from tea!

Yes, that's Hamburg. But only in certain areas you find lots of things like that:

I found another strange angel today - perhaps not so abstract & haptic but....:

Comment by Bifidus Jones on April 1, 2013 at 5:22pm
