Asemic Writing for Mail-Artists

Ha Vikki Johnson! The asemic definition should include "bad handwriting." One of this group's founders, Cheryl Penn, I believe she got into asemics because no one could understand her handwriting.

The Asemic Wars have come to our humble group, Where's Pete Spence? Well he's in New York City ensuring his literary fame. I doubt we'll hear from.

Oh, I am ripped apart! Kerri & Moan are good friends of mine! But when shove comes to push on this, I am with Kerri. Her work is hers.

We have great collabs in this group & it's just a matter of mutual consent.

The post-avant is in an "appropriation culture" right now, but I don't think that's a license to steal.

You know the later Neoists (like Stewart Home) started a plagiarism movement in the network that was just, in my opinion, widespread looting.

Great work Ruud, BTW. If I do say so myself concerning Ruud's piece.

228.10.16 Dare Ms. Vikki J., Ms. Kerri P., & Mister DeVillo S., ...aha, I have just now dreamed up a "something truly Wretched C." ( & totally "original")...It's actual just another so-called  "poem"---entitled:                                                                                                                                                        "Poem by Richard C."                                               (& goes something like this)                                                                                                   " If I do say so myself."                                           Thanks to all for your inspiration , tolerance & understanding. Sincelery, Richard C.                                                                                                  Post Scriptum: Any similarity to what De Villo  S. said in regards to that "asemic business" by Ruud  J. is purely coincidental.                                                                                                 

off topic too....

NEONISM is a collection of my asemic-vispo using some pretty obvious filters. NEONISM is a play on the name NEOISM.

I am pleased to share the news with you that at least one positive thing came out of the Asemic Jello Wrestling Contest that took place here in our humble group yesterday.

Ruud Janssen's asemic letter to ME (you saw it here first! scroll down!) was selected (along with another RJ piece) by Michael Jacobson for the esteemed Post-Literate blog. Wow.

Stay ahead of the asemic curve & stick with our group!

Congrats to Ruud

In 2003 I made these photos of Litsa's work for Fluxus Heidelberg Center. Is this ascemic too? See the whole score and photos on: http://www.fluxusheidelberg.org/redcabbage.html

Now...Moan Lisa, steal this, with your hand and pens!...not a computer scanner, thats not stealing, thats copying, then, show us all how you stole from my being to meld it with your own and create a work that surpasses the original's "good" artist work and show me "greatness" maybe then reconsider the intent oquoteand your ethics.

3TRILOGIE - 3TRILOGY  Punctuation Poetry By Litsa Spathi

Please, let's just be respectful of each other in this group.

Let's have collabs be by mutual consent. Let's not have any appropriations without permission. None of us can control what happens on the larger internet.

And this isn't the Court of Asemics. We can't settle disputes justly & fairly.

People can draw their own conclusions. Let's move on.

Banned? Did I threaten to ban somebody? I don't ban people.

Somebody DID leave the group. I don't want anyone being made to feel uncomfortable. So let's cut this sh--t. Take it to Facebook.

For your information. Moan Lisa left IUOMA. So that explains the missing group member.

Thanks to Fike for linking to the definition of "appropriation." I think we have been using the terms "collaboration," "appropriation," and "plagiarism" (or copyright violation) interchangeably. Kerri's case is "as clear as an azure sky in summer to me." But that's my opinion only.

More and more I see the term "appropriation" used negatively in literary studies (as in "cultural appropriation") even as the current avant adopts appropriation as a valid activity.

Perhaps I am mixing terms. But appropriation can be a violation or I daresay a kind of rape. Cultural appropriation in the process of colonization can be a violation. I think it's true for nations or individuals. Theft of someone's creative production is violation of an individual, whether you choose to call it appropriation or not.

So, you know, I think our goal should be sharing asemicss & vispo & not colonization.

You can see Moan left and is welcome back as far as I am concerned. But there are 159 others here.

Thanks to Litsa Spathi, Osvaldo & others who are sharing work.

11.01.16 De Villo S., ...the "ASEMIC" series  by Ficus S. is delightful thinking, work & play. ...all I have to offer is a little "anemic". Sincelery, Richard C.

Off to Lynn, this "Secret Message-"

Same, flipped... 

Fatima Queiroz selected a piece by our own Kerri Pullo for "Asemic Brazil." Fatima is a FAB visual poet, and Kerri is becoming an absolute vispo star. Don't forget us Kerri!

Received vispo by Matthew Stolte in Wisconsin, USA. Many thx

Googling that quote turned up "As clear as an azure sky of deepest summer". as the last line of Clockwork Orange.

Pretty clever bungerhop, DVS!

Gold star, Fike.

Yeah Alex says "Clear as an azure sky of deepest summer" (thanks for the correction) more than once in A Clockwork Orange (in the Anthony Burgess novel that is not sure about the Kubrick film). I always liked the phrase. Probably Burgess stole it from somewhere. Good one, Fike.
