Fike, I especially like the alien runes. I think this sci-fi vispo thing has a lot of possibilities. Jack Spicer claimed he received Martian dictation and could speak Martian. This is a next logical step.

 Received asemic calligraphy/vispo from Nadia Aroca. Many thanks!

Strange and wondrous occurances on the Asemic Writing board these days--hip hip hooray.

Kerri. you sure know how to make an entrance.

:) So many beautiful pieces I'm seeing... It feels really nice in here.

SSP (Shameless Self Promotion) Alert: I have a new e-book of asemic fiction. Some pieces are dedicated to Cheryl Penn, Matt Stolte, Carina Granlund.

If you're not a Scribd member leave a message here or on FB and will get you a PDF.

But I don't want to overshadow the fact that our asemic star Kerri Pullo shared new work (after way too long) right here in our humble group.

For the skeptics, someone has started an "Anti-Asemics" group on FB. It's secret, but maybe you can figure out how to join.

hi de villo,

I'd love to see a PDF of yr book - tho i "subscribe" to scribd and issuu, i am unable to actually read anything on them, i think they're completely useless  -  thanks

Will do right away JMB.

Folks, Scribd is free and there are some great vispo books beyond M-L offerings. I am hearing more and more complaints abt Scribd, though.

So, yeah, I'll try to keep up w/ the PDF requests.

So wonderful De Villo. So many mezmerizing pieces. All of the colors! ... just love! 

Send CA$H

an F-word gets deleted. It is that simple.

but the "f" word I infer you're meaning, DOES get sent out in the emails to group members so the only tender sensibilities saved are those of people reading the messages online.

I am working on ideas that have to do with sculptural asemic writing.

SOL it says, says SOL

Thx Sharon

Received asemics-vispo from Esther Kamkar (Palo Alto, CA, USA). Wonderful. Thx!

I've blogged 5 new pieces by our own Kerri Pullo. Many thanks to Kerri.

Moan, the threads and instructions for the Asemics 16 project are still here in this group. It's a fairly complicated process where people have to send chapters to everyone else contributing to the group. We kept it at 16 people per book. It works but it takes constant managing through the process.

But you would still have, say, 16 people participating?

Everyone has to mail a copy to the 15 others in the group.

Then everyone has a copy.

It would work.

Moan, looks like you've started this on FB.

Maybe a thread in this group if you need it? It's good if people can post drafts somewhere, only it would muck up this main thread and maybe be confusing.

So good for you if you're doing it.

More asemics from Richard Canard (Illinois, USA). Thx Richard!

Google Deep Dream's re-interpretation of Corel PhotoPaint's textual additions with motion blur upon an already deep dreamed screen captuer of Electric Sheep. Asemic? Semisemic?

I received a great package from Thomas M. Cassidy aka Musicmaster (Minnesota, USA) that I think is relevant to the group. Many thanks to MM!

Just did some new collaborations with Tom Cassidy:

another:

and still another:

and yet still another:

Thx JMB. Yeah, I would note the JMB/Musicmaster collabs here and elsewhere are especially worth a look, IMHO. MM has pieces he does on book pages that I also think are very interesting too. Great to have MM stuff here as examples. MM solo:

Sparse semicity?

A versatile graphene coated glass microswimmer displayed directed motions under the influence of applied electric field, chemical potential gradient and external magnetic field. The directed chemical locomotion took place from the region of lower to higher pH with speed ∼13 body lengths per second due to asymmetric catalytic decomposition of dilute hydrogen peroxide across the motor surface. The negative surface potential of graphene coated motor developed an electrical double layer in an alkaline medium which in turn engendered electrophoretic mobility towards anode when the external electrostatic field was applied. Inclusion of sparsely populated ferromagnetic iron nanoparticles on the surface of the motor offered the magnetic remote control on the motion. The coupled in situ and external controls enabled the motor to develop complex motions in diverse open and confined environments. For example, the motor could approach, pick-up, tow, and release a heavy cargo inside microchannel. Remarkably, the motor (∼67 μg) could successfully drive out a ∼1000 times heavier payload (∼0.67 mg) displaying the ability to overcome the drag force of ∼2619 pN with the help of coupled in situ and remote guidance.

Thanks everyone for the posts.

Kudos to Moan for launching these asemic projects that are engaging so many people & generating new work.
