Asemic Writing for Mail-Artists

the postcard image from Alan Brignull just below beginning "Bero tarna-dar" came with his most recent mailart sending. I find it charming.

Longtime group member John M. Bennett has just released a major new book that includes his vispo & some tremendous lyric poems with vispo elements!

Deepest thanks to JMB for all his contributions to our group.

Snail mail collab by me (De Villo Sloan) & Jim Leftwich. (2015 - completed 2021). I have a bunch of JL foundations I would be pleased to send you some if you're interested in sort of an add & pass asemics.

Dare Mister De Villo Sloan,  ...Yes, please.  I would be pleased  to receive a few Jim Leftwich "foundations".   SinCelery, Richard Canard

I would like to work on one or 2 as well,thank you

Original Jim Leftwich foundations from AF2 to Artbyjac, BG, Sir Litter Richard plus other sundries. 

Deepest thanx to JL for always thinking of AF and generously sending m-a.

Can't wait to see some new collabs.

BTW - In terms of new pieces, I don't even know if you could call them :asemic." So let's not worry about genre.

Thanks for posting Nancy (NBS). "Bust Stop" (this is in the Yoma People's Gallery of Obsolete Technology & Cattle Mutations too?) is a stunner, just hitting me (totally subjective) that the work achieves a unity. It's perfection in a Classical sense (I can feel NBS blushing in her Maine tower). Vispo relies so heavily on fragmentation & I guess disruption that a piece like "Bus Stop" is an unusual but welcome experience.

I would like to work on one too please.

Nancy, this one is a minimalist you! It's so busily tranquil. 

DVS, if we're not worrying about genre, I'd love to cross some sundried  fragments to a JL foundation, please.

One's own natural fragmentation can become really exhausting every 3 or 4 or 7 years. I appreciate the thought-provoking comments, Mel Anie and DVS, thanks.

"Shadow Asemics" aka "Eco-Asemics" (DVS). This path is producing some tremendous vispo too (not mine) but people who look for asemics in the natural world (or urban landscape).

But eco-asemics are like Buddhism a lot of the time.

Some people are doing a lot with glitched asemics & vispo (glitchtxt). So I unearthed some drafts of a collab I did with Ficus Strangulensis March 1, 2018. This one was apparently not posted. So I share it now becus its time hath cometh:

Fike & DVS March 1, 2018.

That is stunning, De Villa, wow.

That looks amazing, Francis!

Asemic coffee -- this is great, Carien, whether you noticed it or created it or both.

Birthday wish for De Villo Sloan:

I've stumbled upon a New to me [fr, "neuf"] source of asemic writing and... since it's 'written' by insects I shall assume that, as writing, it is unintentional!

Asemic? YOU BET! Unless the little guy in the next image can write meaningfully.

could this be the 'author' of the image below?

25.12.21 Dare Ficus S.,  ...what bugs me about this bark-beetle asemic calligraphy business is the fact that it is far more interesting than the combinations that I can create.Thanx for sharing . SinCelery, Richard Canard

Ficus offers proof of something I have feared recently:

An "Insect Trust" has burrowed or burroughs into the asemic movement. These are produced by mutations caused by the ever-more-powerful chemicals needed in the extermination process.

I was writing to an associate just the other day about the toxicity of asemic gas. Several in this group succumbed to it, in fact.

Joey Patrickt is making six-legged chairs.

I hope you continue to monitor the "insect politics."

from Carien van Hest, embroidered asemics.   in the mail today, and it knocked my socks off:  

Swedish Death Metal Asemics

I like the "Swedish Death Metal Asemics"... you give me ideas; what is the size of this work, can we exchange a work of this kind. I will look at a realization asemics writing. Greetings from Germany. I would like to have your postal address.

Peace.

My handwriting has become more fluent than when I started asemic writing.
