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

Hi I am new here because by chance I saw your question. I have used Fontographer to create my own fonts from drawings and it is easy and free. It will work with W7, I think. You need a painting /graphic program to create tiny drawings of each…Continue

Adapted from Wikipedia Asemic writing is a wordless open semantic form of writing. The word asemic means “having no specific semantic content.” With the nonspecificity of asemic writing there comes a vacuum of meaning which is left for the reader to…Continue

Also so I can feel like I'm keeping from meandering I want to add that Minimalism is a big element in avant art & also mail art.
Asemic writing can be very minimal and also focused purely on the writing aspect.
Minimalism is harder than it looks. I am terrible at it.
But nothing says you have to fill every micro-dot of a page. Absence, emptiness, nothing - those are artist tools too. No?
Eduardo Cardoso's (Portugal) Minimalist group is FAB and Eduardo is a great visual poets as well.
The visual poetry section is also very good:
Dear Judith,
We tend not to worry too much about following any strict guidelines for asemic writing or visual poetry (vispo) in this group.
Were you to scroll back the comments for years in this group, you'd find lengthy and sometimes contentious discussions about asemic writing.
Your work I've seen in the gallery is clearly text-oriented and directed toward the relation of language to image. That pretty much makes you a visual poet already.
Asemic writing is (most agree) a form of vispo where you are creating writing that cannot be read in a conventional way. Children do it naturally; it's that simple. (But then again Ph.D. literary theorists are writing about it.) Your choice, I guess.
The Wikipedia definition is actually very good should you wish to pursue this aspect of asemics. But you might be better off following your heart and intuition. They seem to be serving you well.
I've put up some great collabs by Cheryl Penn (South Africa) & Allan Bealy (USA) at Asemic Front 2. These are "hybrid" pieces that draw from concrete poetry, vispo, Lettrism (all things it helps to know about) but definitely asemic in the sense that language is fractured, reconstructed, new symbols made. Thx to Cheryl (actually an early founder of this group) and Allan of New York City.

Judith - I’m going to throw in my 2 cents... Your work on that DVS starter is awesome. I really like the train tracks idea! Keep it up!!
De Villo, Do you recognize your started? I don't know what track I am on. Is this vispo?
Welcome Judith! Feel free to post, comment, ask questions, etc. I do often take postings for the Asemic Front project and some people use them for collabs as well. -DVS
Jayne and I are on the same path with these asemic-vispo pieces (that's how I think of them) that have a lot of image-text relations & textural deconstruction. That's great for AF2!
