Asemic Writing for Mail-Artists

This may be taken as another query into the boundary between semic and asemic. Obviously, it contains recognizable symbols. Also, it is not written other than [a few steps ago] by a computer application -- Hexedit. I leave it to the aesthecipient to decide. Y'r ol' Bud,  Fike

DOWN WITH THEY!

28.02.18 Dare De Villo S. & Ficus S., ...of course the red, blue green,black, letter, number item recently posted by Ficus stangulensis is a complete mystery to me but I also find it to be a most  handsome, appropriate & "favorite" image in this comprehensive & informative asemic archive. SinCelery, Richard C.

I think Fike used his computer for target practice to get that scrambled code.

Fair to consider it asemic, IMHO.

I'll try to run that through the glitcher later and make some real asemic gas.

Audrey is taking asemics by storm!

Received AF collabs from Carolyn Kline. Thx.

I did a bunch of variations on Fike's code piece and brought in some DK images too, so there's a bunch of stuff at AF.

I think we're blessed to be in a Golden Age of asemic art or vispo or whatever you want to call it.

I am in awe of these posts!

Thx, De Villo

I have no idea what to call this stuff.  Doesn't matter.  "Art" will do will enough

Ruud Janssen's vispo cut-up that was posted in our group a few days ago is re-posted at Asemic Front. Love those cut-ups! Thx Ruud

I tried to post a comment on DVS's wordpress article regarding Ruud Janssen's vispo cut-up but couldn't get logged in. I want to say it is a beautiful piece! I am also loving these collabs with, and posted by, John Bennett. They are amazing. I especially like the Osvaldo Cibils collaboration. Thanks for sharing!

Terry, I have to approve comments at AF or it will turn into a spam fest. Maybe that's it. I'll check and see what's what. It takes me a while to make the rounds.

Thanks for your previous comments.

And I concur again, people are sharing some incredible work.

I'm glad I'm running AF - essentially a mail art call - that is documenting this work. (Obviously I am using digital and snail mail.)

thx all

Thank you for offering to check on my issue with WP posts, De Villo, but I'm quite sure the problems has to do with my passwords etc etc. I have problems on several blogs where I can't gain entry, even though I'm a member. I just need to bite the bullet and sit down one of these days to figure it all out. I too am glad you are documenting this work. I think it's important. Thanks for all your efforts. 

so great nancy...kindof a broadway boogie woogie thing going on there!

Group members are probably familiar with the asemic piece Borderline Grafix (Texas) posted at the IUOMA. I received the original and documented it at Asemic Front. BG always responds to every artistic challenge with great work. Thx

Very inspiring work by BG, Audrey Enough, and JB here lately -- wow.

Federico Federici (Berlin, Germany) is doing some great "asemic concrete hybrid" work. He's given me 5 new compositions for Asemic Front. Federico is not a networker like us, but of course vispo and mail art meld together in places. I certainly consider him part of AF. So meet FF if you haven't!

Front of asemic envelope from Audrey Enough, then back of envelope, and an asemic piece on vellum that could be posted in the minimal mail art group too, especially intriguing:

Another Nancy Bell Scott-DVS collab at AF.

https://asemicfront.wordpress.com/2018/03/11/digital-asemic-collab-...

This new batch has the Nancy Bell Scott piece digitized in various ways. So this is an NBS-DVS collab.

And welcome to old friend (of many calls) and IUOMA star and friend to many Gina Ulgen (UK)!

Would love to see some asemics, Gina. So glad you are here. DVS

I found this where the snowfall abutted the carport here in snowy West Virginia usa this morning. It appears to be asemic writing. Perhaps others can decipher it if it actually contains meaning. Y'r ol' Bud, Fike

That's "eco-asemics," Fike. The Kulters would say, "God wrote that."

It's a cool glyph.

"...the handwriting on the wall "...uh, snow.

It takes one to snow one.

Thanks for the welcome DVS, I'm quite fascinated by all this and yes I will try my hand at it.

I'm intrigued. What is that, Audrey?

it's black gesso on paper.  part of a little drum series i'm working on.

Everyone has been doing lovely work.

Love it all!

Hi De Villo,

Asemic's  are heading your way tomorrow.

New work by Kerri Pullo (Arizona, USA) at Asemic Front. This includes work Kerri sent Allan Bealy in Brooklyn. Thx to Allan for the pic help!
