Comment by Ruud Janssen on March 29, 2018 at 6:13am: This work isn't the dribbeling, but the flow of ink on photographic paper. So the process took about a few minutes, and then I let in dry. It is a thick layer of acrylicpaint green and white.

Comment by Richard Canard on March 29, 2018 at 5:48am: 28.03.18 Dare De Villo S. & Ruud J., ... no one's dribble is as important as Jackson Pollock' s drival. ...Or is it?????? Ray Johnson liked to dribble. SinCelery, Richard C.

Comment by Ruud Janssen on March 29, 2018 at 5:38am: The chance of how paint drops down. Done in 1984 , so about 34 years ago.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on March 29, 2018 at 1:11am: Here's a blast from the past: Kerri Pullo's "Asemic Mom." We did manage to have fun.

During the days of the Asemic Wallpaper School some of the "students" were trying to develop "Asemic Gas." I think this got dangerous or whatever but there were gasmasks involved, so you see these older pieces with gasmasks sometimes.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on March 29, 2018 at 1:04am: Fike, my view is that these chemistry experiments/accidents are a valid way of producing asemic symbols. My understanding is that anything that suggests language but cannot be read in the conventional sense is asemic.

History is showing that Jim Leftwich likely coined the term asemic in the 90s, although he's not too enchanted with it now from what I gather. In our group the term "asemic suggestive" has been used in the past. I think your pear juice is asemic but at the least it's "asemic suggestive."

A few years back I got into this asemic chemistry too stuff due to a laundry accident where I spilled bleach on paper. (I am completely serious.) I was doing some collab stuff using Kerri Pullo's "Asemic Mom" character. Here are a few scans. I think this chemistry thing is promising

Comment by Ficus strangulensis on March 28, 2018 at 8:19pm: is this asemic? it was caused by pear juice chromatography of a note written in brown marking pen on a paper towel. I tried to paste this image here from my pictures but it seems waaaaay small

Comment by Norma Soulet on March 28, 2018 at 2:59pm: Hi De Villo,

It was fun collaborating with you on them.

Until next time.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on March 28, 2018 at 2:30am: Completed a snail mail AF collab with our own Norma Soulet (Florida, USA)! The chemistry was right! I'm thrilled. Thx Norma for what you did with incomprehensible starters!
