I'm nearly certain that this used to be text and drawings from a patent. I don't know how it got THIS way but suspect it suffered innacuracies during xerography.

Oh, and it's important to add that Cinzia Farina (Italy and an IUOMA member) is also listed in the announcement of the forthcoming women's asemic-vispo anthology. So - along with Kerri Pullo - that's two members of our group!!!

That's a beauty, BG!

Completed some asemic glitch pieces w/ Kristine Snodgrass (Florida, USA) that are hybrid (glitched hard copy collabs).

Kristine is editing an anthology of women's vispo/asemics w/ Kerri Pullo, Nicole Winborn  others. (Connect w/ Kristine of FB is probably best to learn more).

That is incredible, Carien. You were born for asemics! I hope you keep your journal together and intact. Thx for sharing.

On the left page I wrote with my non-writing hand, my left hand.

On the right page I made a translation of that with my right hand.

Carien, from what I've learned in our group, people do spoken asemics for all intents and purposes. Our own John M. Bennett has recordings (of his won performances) you can find online (I'll look) that would be considered asemic.

Ray Johnson did asemic performances of sort of nonsense poetry. I'm told it sounded like stuttering. So did the great mail artist Blaster Al Ackerman.

A lot of sound poetry would be considered asemic in that it's rooted in language but has no conventional meaning.

Things like speaking in tongues & mediums who claim to channel lost languages could be considered asemic.

Actually, you can find a lot of it. But I don't know that people have yet done many consciously considered asemic performances & recordings.

It's wide open. Would love to hear some!

I am thrilled to premier new vispo & prose collabs by Jim Leftwich & poet Jeff Crouch at Asemic Front 2.

I love your poetry and the use of colors even more. 
Wouldn’t  it be wonderful to have performance artists reciting asemic poetry?
