Haptic Newspaper

[Bifidus Jones]

What do you all think of contributing to a Haptic-style newspaper? I volunteer to be the editor/publisher and will distribute to all Haptic Poetry members here at IUOMA. Any suggestions for a title? WWSD? (what would Schwitters do?)

I also wanted to show Diane's envelope too:

wow & wow, I like Diane's haptic work a lot. Has anyone noticed that the pieces the haptic poets are doing is becoming more nuanced and complex? Earlier pieces, I think, tended to focus on interaction with one or two senses. Now you have a much wider range of possibilities. There is a lot of very provocative interplay between text, images, and haptics now. In short, this is getting really good. Congratulations Diane.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I don't know when I've had as much fun creating art. The haptic element is very inspiring.  So glad I can be a part of the Haptica Times!

This looks incredible Bifidus! You did such a great job with the layout!

[cheryl penn]

Congratulations Bifidus - FAB :-) - today looks like a good day for finishing - in order to begin again! X

[De Villo Sloan]

Let me offer my congrats also - to Bifidus and the participants. George Macunias on the front page? Martha Stuart School enthusists: The black and white picture of the man in vintage women's clothing that is used to portray the school's founder? That (really) is a picture of George Macunias doing a Fluxus performance. Congrats to the haptic poets again!
