This was a 'one off' or actually a 'one found' during the excavation of the piles in our piling 'system' here at strangulensis Research Labs for the reflooration of the central mischief room. My Beloved, Shirl, says it was Mary [our daughter] with one of her husbands. The photodisfigurement may've happened right here at the labs but like most memories, it's lost to me.

Great piece, Fike. Good to see you back. I'm hoping to get a second round of Asemic Front before the project becomes history.
Well, as a "critic" I like to be descriptive rather than prescriptive. Thus, the artists and writers take the lead with their creations and maybe I can help explaining how it all fits together. So if you see asemics in this, it's more important than what I see.
To answer your question from another venue - I think these degraded images definitely can be viewed as asemic. I first used the term "deconstructive asemics" to describe some things you did AND generally visual poets who are using with decomposition & decay of texts and image. So it's become a permanent genre in my world.
I just saw the announcement of a new book from Ragged Lion Press that has this same degradation of photos done by WS Burroughs, Brion Gysin, and Allan De Loach (A Beat type I remember from Buffalo actually but did not know of a connection to Burroughs - he was an Allen Ginsberg guy.) Anyway, if Burroughs and Gysin were working with photo degradation that's a green light. I'll try to get a link for that book.
Are there more of these? Like I said, I need to get AF moving.
