Spontaneous Asemics 18 Replies

I am curious how members view the phenomenon of spontaneous asemics and if they ever experience something like I did this afternoon. I was tidying my workspace and while lifting a pile of paper I detected marks of ink that got stuck to the plastic…Continue

Comment by De Villo Sloan on June 11, 2015 at 2:57am: Thanks Mick and welcome! In fact, I am here to share a print Mick Boyle - our newest member - sent me. This is also a collaboration with Jason who at this point needs no introduction.

Comment by Mick Boyle on June 8, 2015 at 8:06pm: Asemic digital collaborations with Jason motsch

Comment by De Villo Sloan on June 6, 2015 at 10:05pm: I received mail art cards that include asemic experiments. One is from Thomas Brown (Baltimore, Maryland, USA):

Another from Erica Durante (Waldwick, New Jersey, USA):

Comment by De Villo Sloan on June 3, 2015 at 9:39pm: Received a great card from Richard Canard. "Readymade Asemics" were first introduced in this group, to the best of my recollection, by John Bennett.

Richard also once mailed Geof Huth a flattened beer can (maybe soda) that Richard also considered to be readymade asemics. I think I'll test a new term: Asemically Ambiguous.

Deepest thanks to Richard!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on May 30, 2015 at 8:45pm: Group member Jason Motsch sent me a fantastic asemic TLP (not unlike in format the archival JMB material posted further down in the thread). Jason sticks to basics here with b&w calligraphy. Incredible book!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on May 27, 2015 at 6:50pm: Rosa Gravino has extended the deadline for her mail art call. I know many of us in the group have participated in her FAB exhibitions. Everyone should send! She is very receptive to asemics and vispo that incorporates asemics, so have no fear!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on May 27, 2015 at 6:47pm: Received this great asemic piece from group member Rosa Gravino in Argentina. She does wonderful work that mixes asemics and vispo.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on May 26, 2015 at 1:51pm: More blasts from the past: Another calligraphy-vispo piece by John M. Bennett. Appeared in "Outre 2" (1986) (Florence, Alabama, USA) (Jake Berry, Editor)

A piece by Carol Stetser that I think is definitely asemic. Appeared in "Velocity 8" (1987) (Port Charlotte, Florida, USA) (Bob Grumman and Christian Herman, Editors)

Comment by De Villo Sloan on May 26, 2015 at 1:35pm: Received "scanpo" from Maria Morisot-Moan Lisa (Iowa, USA). The overlays could be considered asemic or a way generating asemic symbols.
