Comment by My Life As A Collage on March 2, 2011 at 3:16pm: thanks - "asemic writing" was not a term i was familiar with, so i was trying to make connections. (you know us visual learners...) you are as expert as anyone - i trust your input.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on March 2, 2011 at 3:11pm: Hi My Life As A Collage, neither Cheryl nor I make any claim to be "experts" on this. I know I am hoping to learn too. So I hope others will jump in. I do think certain aspects of Twombly's work could be considered asemic. You have what appears to be writing but it's non-referential, truly visual language. Other folks jump right in here please.

Comment by David Stafford on March 2, 2011 at 3:11pm: Oh, and thanks, lisa, for the reference to the Voynich. I'd never heard of it before...that is so wonderful with wacky graphics right out of the IUOMA playbook.

Comment by David Stafford on March 2, 2011 at 3:09pm: Has anyone mentioned Saul Steinberg yet? He was the master of asemic officialdom. Film at eleven...

Comment by My Life As A Collage on March 2, 2011 at 3:05pm: an example:

Comment by My Life As A Collage on March 2, 2011 at 3:03pm: would you consider certain aspects of cy twombly's works to be asemic writing?

Comment by cheryl penn on March 2, 2011 at 2:53pm: What about the Phaistos Disk. Not this one, the real one - The manuscript - Asemics??? No, I dont think so on reflection. Our interpretation - different story. Imposing meaning - we're good at that. What was the INTENT?

Comment by De Villo Sloan on March 2, 2011 at 2:45pm: And you know you can always get the lowdown in (Thank you David Stafford for this spendid work):

Comment by De Villo Sloan on March 2, 2011 at 2:42pm: Dear Mariska van den Heuvel, great to see you at IUOMA again and in the asemic group. A piece by Mariska:

Comment by cheryl penn on March 2, 2011 at 2:27pm: O - I remembered something - hasn't this manuscript been narrowed down to a few glyphs? About 20sih?? I sometimes use this technique and consider it asemic writing??? But I've never thought of it as asemic writing, no.
